Met Police recruiting again!!
Do they hire broken down old Redneck po-leece from the States?
Yes....on both counts...bi-lingual too...English and American.
I knew there was a trick....355 rating....dug around in me bag....and that was about the only one I didn't have....drats! If the Met is like my old polis place...that makes sense....we had to have five years as a foot patrolman to be considered a pilot slot....never mind the 2500 hours I had in '72 and being a current Territorial Pilot flying more sophisticated aircraft than the one being operated by the Polis.

TC is right - I read it again and it appears that the 355 rating and the IR are not required to apply. Go for it SASless - the Met could do with someone decent working for them - then you too can keep me awake at 3 in the morning looking for poxy car thieves outside my window !
Oh, right....I can see it now....pilot of Met Po-leece chopper on the radio....."Hey ya'll, the rascal you'uns is looking fer...is a hidin' unnerneaf the dumpster over yonder by the burger joint! Open up a great big ol' can of Whoop Ass when you get ahold of him!"
Somehow...I just don't reckon that would fly!

Actually, SASless, I understood more of what you just said than I would if I was hovering over the Isle of Dogs listening to fluent Estuarine...
In Brum, even the bobbies had to pause before replying to any Black Country PC, just to make sure they'd interpreted everything correctly. As for Coventry; just make sure you use words of half-a-syllable or less!
(Completely unfair of course, but why let the truth get in the way of an old dit)

Just got the application pack and no mention of 355 rating nor IR just the basic hour requirements.
Guess they may help but if you have the hours why not apply, there is a shortage of the right pilots at the moment.
