As a prison officer, wouldn't  you lack the qualifications to be a police officer in the UK  without extensive re-training?  Wouldn't it take a long time to get peace officer qualifications in Qatar coming from no background in law-enforcement in the system here?

Yes, living together is a crime-end of conversation.  In reality you would probably not wind up in prison, but could very easily be deported.  My neighbours were caught living together when one of the women at their workplace squealed on them.  They were generously treated, they were given one week to either get married or get out of the country.  They got married.

Hemaya has female security guards but I have heard mixed reviews of their reputaton.

Hey lousie...still awaiting my security friend to get back to me...but aside to that, just going on your qualifications you've mentioned, there are alot of projects going on in the youth sector, projects usually mean consultants are in so the ability to speak arabic is desirable but not essential....maybe thats a path you can try also....eggs in one basket thinking? But that path works best with contacts.....I may have some but will get back to you if thats something that appeals.

Also, read up on other threads here, living with a boyfriend and work conditions.....it is a tad different here!

 I may be blonde but I am wise

smile lots laugh more

my parole officer is calling.

don't worry about it, she was already taken...besides would you want someone that could bring you down and wrap you into a headlock with one hand tied behind her back?  That kind of scares me.

she was jauntie and i was about to put in my dollar worth about security jobs in hmc ......

well what i really wanted to tell her was that its the guaranteed way to get a huge paunch(if you re looking for one ,that is ) lol

do it right - the first time!

she was never here, well, not a lot anyway ...  :/

Louise!   if you are still reading this thread, I apologise if we started getting a bit frisky.  I think some gave you some advice - hope so!

Don't give up on us ... just larking about sometimes :D

yes he is!  and I think I miss the smell of the cut grass quite a lot, now you come to mention it.

although I'm going back to UK for a hol in a few days time - and I really don't want to go! brrrrrrr

now youve done it!!! just when the going was good all you serious scallywags have scared louise away....

good evening all 

do it right - the first time!

I'm from the North East - Aberdeen ....... bloody cold there most of the time, but I do miss seeing green things. There was grass being cut the other day on the Rayaan Road and I turned full circle at the roundabout just so I could keep smelling it! No life, or what? 

the only other person I know who says 'michty me' is my hub!

hmmm

Nice post, anyway, but still ... hmmmmmm

So I thought I would throw in my tuppenceworth ....... the basic law is that it is illegal to have sexual relations with someone you're not married to, and the authorities do take it seriously. In saying that, there are any number of people living together under one guise or another and there are also plenty of Qatari men who have girlfriends with whom they do more than just hold hands. So it's one of those "it's okay until you are caught" situations and, as somebody pointed out earlier, it only takes one pissed off neighbour to drop you in it. Someone else mentioned that the schools will do or say anything to get qualified teachers - there's a plethora of unqualified people teaching in schools here and it is ruining some kids' education.

As regards the police, I have a friend in Civil Defence (where all of the Police, Traffic Police, Fire Brigade, etc are drawn from), and  they will only hire Muslims who speak, read and write Arabic. Mostly it's Pakistanis and Sudanese, and unfortunately they are treated very differently to the Qataris who are doing the same job.

Michty me, that's a long post ....... I must be bored!!

Good luck with whatever you decide to do Louise, but as many on here have pointed out - research is very importangt before coming here to live.

the stage set used to wobble about and, as a result, it got something of a cult following because it was so silly.  I wonder if it's googable?  I may look lol 

I'm not sure stalags achieved the same giggle status  :/

Stalag 13...then you can keep your British one.

then she would have to move to Saudi....and Talal only hires Saudi females...so you are adding a whole new level of complexity to an apparently already desperate situation.

Prisoner Cell Block H

Just need to hone my ozzie accent

oops showing my age again lol

talking about someone that works for one of his companies...that would be a bit unrealistic.

he only hires Saudi females....although I know he is dual citizen (Lebanese/Saudi) it is quite possible that the one(s) you may be referring to are also dual.

wants to work here, she is intelligent enough (as all prison officers are) to check it out with the British Embassy or through some agencies or PO union.

Aint that right, Louise?

my cop buddies when I see them this weekend when was the last time they hired a westerner.

darn it, alexa got me here under false pretences - pretenses - pre .... on a hoax!

than just the Arabic working against her in getting hired?

dont make it a seroius topic plz

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

you think that if she were to pick up Arabic she could be hired?

Well thank you certainly seem to have good knowledge of the place.  I need to do a lot more research.  Im just finding it hard to deal with the restrictions that are placed on women.  Being a prison officer in a male jail I'm used to it been the other way around haha!  I've applied for a couple of jobs with Qatar Airlines.  Maybe my officer days are over which isn't a bad thing its a stressful job and I don't mind the idea of a nice desk job!  I have a degree in criminology ans I used to be a youth worker and drugs worker plus I've managaed a pub so not a bad cv for someone of my age.  Who knows Il just keep trying.

Thanks again

for certain if they still allow foreign nationals to be police officers?  I believe, but not completely certain, that the entire force has already been Qatarized.

why am i in this thread .... ??

I just wanted to clarify that what you are saying was based on fact and not your own opinion but you certainly answered the question for me

There are indeed female Police officers here in Qatar, but really think you have no chance in getting a job in the police force here. I would imagine that being able to read and speak Arabic will be a requirement as most of the Law is not translated into English.

I agree with Oh My regarding the situation of your intention to live with your Boyfriend here. Many schools here will say and promise anything in order to get staff - there are many schools are finding it challenging to recruit staff.

Basically it is a big NO NO to living with your Boyfriend - it only takes one neighbour or someone with a grudge to bear to inform you to the authorities - then you will be looking at a possible deportation for the both of you.

My advice do more research - Get married before you come here - look into consultancy security work.

Sorry that there is really not much positivity regarding the questions you posed - but really Qatar is a nice place to live - I have been here for 10 years - although this year is my last. great weather apart from the  height of summer, relatively safe (apart from the driving!), great opportunities for watersports, dining out in beautiful places. Qatar is changing though and is becoming more expensive to live in, but the sun still shines more or less every day.

I'm not sure what part of what I'm telling you don't understand.

If you are going to be working in the criminal justice field here then you may want to look up Sharia Law. It may explain a few things for you.

So say we did live together (lets say in sin as you put it)  and someone did tell the authorities they see that as an actual crime? 

ok...until caught. Caught can be described as when one of your neighbors or acquaintances gets upset with you (or your living situation because of their morals) and reports your living situation to the authorities....you can try your luck...or just go ahead and marry him so that you aren't living in sin.

...thanks Darude

The school my boyfriend has found his job with said it will be ok but you seem to know what your talking about.  Is is really ILLEGAL or just frowned upon?

damn you where the hell do you go always i miss that avatar of yours :D

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

go ahead and live with your boyfriend in an Islamic Middle Eastern country and see how fast you will be staring at the other prison guards...but from the other side of the bars....I second the question...how much research have you done?

What was that last message you posted its blank?

That would be brilliant thank you.  I wish I had found this site earlier because I've spent hours researching!!

Well yes we were told this but then told we would be ok as you said if we were descreet.  Not just for boyfriend, England is rubbish and cold!

I didn't think Qatar would have female police officers but maybe I could find something along the lines of airport security I just don't know where to look so if you have any info that would be great.  We do plan to get married thats our plan B haha

there are 2 major security companies here Al Himaya and G4s you can try them

i dont have their website right now and dont think if they have any website.

i can check that tomorrow and post it here if you come back and check it 

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

I'm sorry to tell you but you must be very careful and discreet if you live with BF.....it isn't really legal.

DaRuDe is right.... i don't think you could get a job with the police.

If you are prepared to do all this for bf...it would be a lot easier if you just married him.

Yeah I thought that.  A country with no female police or prison officers? madness.  Just dont know where to look for these types of jobs though.  Any ideas?

no chance they wont do.

  might get you into some security system in some office but not in police station or central jail.

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Yeah I know that i NEED TO GET SPONSORED TO GET MY vISA i'M JUST AT THE STAGE OF TRYING TO FIND A JOB.  Accomodation comes with my boyfriends job so thats no problem.  We just don't knoe where to look it seems there is a small market for women with career experience such as mine

Haha I think my boyfriend would have something to say about that!

That would be brilliant! I'm chasing my own tail it seems!

waw prison officer, nice job

With money we build HOUSE, With love we build HOME

 I have a friend here in the security business, both her and her hubby so I will contact them and ask if they know of anything

 I may be blonde but I am wise
