Just seen a thread appear on KTD posted anonymously that the RAD is being scrapped for London applications and there will just be an interview instead. Must be aload of bollocks right?? Mental if true

It is true in a sense I know it's true as two poelts in my section did it that way ... they do medical fitness and have an interview .... they don't do scenarios due to the amount of people that fail it and the London jails are soo short staffed. I personally don't agree with this as one of the two seems to crumble under the slightest bit of pressure has stormed off various times ... not exactly the right people to be doing the job in my opinion

Wow. I personally didn’t like the pilot RAD where it was everything but the scenarios were on a iPad. Is this what you mean?

Those role plays are crucial to part of what you will be doing on a daily basis. I mean if you have all the tact of a firing squad or you are firghtened of your own shadow you aren't going to be much bloody use

Personally I think it should be RAD and interview

I was shocked to find out there were no interviews when joining. There was no reason it couldn't have been done before, during or after RAD. Before would make much more sense though.
Scrapping RAD is a dangerous thing in my opinion and could put people's lives at risk.

I'm with Rennerz on this, an interview should be part of the RAD too.

I didn’t have an interview as such but I did sit down with the person running the RAD and he did ask me questions such as why am I joining, what do I think is involved in the job, and what would make me a good officer?.... so I guess I kind of did have an interview? 🧐

It does to me too! It was very informal mind (I arrived for the morning slot when booked for the afternoon one so had plenty of time to kill).

Unfortunately the rumours appear to be true and its a dangerous thing to scrap the RAD scenarios.
Ps you all did have an interview, you just didn't know it!!!
