I was a Police Officer for over 13...

    Ha. I hardly think thats the case at all mate.:D It would be nice if there was a guarantee of a job at the end of passing the assessments. Unfortunately that's not the case. There's always the prospect of the 'talent pool' if a job offer doesn't come through. Northern's recruitment...
