Only thirty percent of those who appear before the Law Enforcement Interview panel get a passing grade, and of the 30%, only five percent are offered the position. So the question is how do you beat 5% to 30%? Well, it’s relatively simple, it’s called preparation.

You see, the applicant who is offered the position goes into the oral exam knowing exactly what to expect, while other recruits go in guessing. The applicant who gets the position is very proactive in the sense that he is aggressive in getting feedback on the oral interview from the board.

They are the ones who email me regularly asking for advice, they are the prospects who are on forums talking to retired/current police officers, and most importantly, they are the candidates who get the necessary police interview guides who are available to help. . them as they prepare.

If you are reading this article, I know you are an applicant looking for information on how to excel at the police interview. To help you, I have listed some common questions that you will be asked during the board oral interview:

• Why do you want to be a policeman?
• Who inspired you to become a policeman?
• What is your biggest weakness/strengths?
• In what event in your life did you show self-control?
• Give us an example where you showed the ability to work with others.

The above are just some of the questions you will be asked during the interview with the police. The additional questions will be about your character and some questions about the scenario base. It is important to prepare for the scenario questions, as they tend to be very high on the panel qualification list.
