How to Become A Police Officer, Interview Questions

[@2KCamaroZ28SS]

I get a kick out of departments that make it next to impossible to get hired, yet in the same breath cry and whine about how they're short staffed. While making it seem like they don't want to hire someone.

[@Chris-el4hd]

It's about finding new folks that fit the criteria, not the older one. New recruits cost a lot of $$$

[@EddieLeal]

@@Chris-el4hd I agree. Hiring the wrong person can also be a liability to their agency and most importantly to the community they will be patrolling.

[@Horror_Film_Aficionado]

Honestly just go in there act fake nice but military style yes sir no mam and be professional. For all you know the interviewer could be a secret pedophile....alot of trash in departments cops always getting busted. Good ones do exist but you get the picture.....

[@darthvader9249]

its about getting the right people for the job

[@kyletheune6280]

Look at every other job right now. They hire ANYONE who applies, and they waste time and money to hire and train these people just to have them leave and be short staffed again. Leaving the current employees more frustrated. I’ve been there

Thank you for your videos. I graduated from college in 2008 during the recession when most Departments were at a hiring freeze. After 3 years of failed interviews I gave up.

@@Chris-el4hd by that, I mean "what do you know about the city?" I was also asked "what do you think our role is about this police department?" and I said "to protect and serve." For some reason, I also feel like you will be asked that question too. Written test is easy and the interview with the chief is also easy. The Psychological evaluation test is the toughest one. They will make sure if your brain is wired the right way so, make sure that you stay out of trouble, avoid speeding, and avoid anything that is bad. Because the Psychological test will find the truth about if you are lying or not.
