How to Become A Police Officer, Interview Questions

[@nickolekuebler1727]

I was always taught that no matter what remember to always say you are going to use the least amount of force necessary to diffuse the situation

[@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.

[@Out_of_The_Furnace_2013Film]

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.....

[@TuskenRaiderHater]

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

First, thank you. I found it informative and enjoyed the content. The 26 minutes flew by in no time. I liked how you gave an example and explained the think process behind it. As of questions: How would you answer a question on why Law Enforcement Officer should be held accountable to the highest ethical standards. You touched it with the stealing partner scenario, but how do you answer this question in a way that you hit all the "keywords"? What are they looking for?

[@JerryLasko]

I wanna say what a great and informative video you’ve made. As a man in his 20s, your older and wiser viewpoints and recommendations are great. I think you showed your deep understanding with the example of ‘running and gunning’. A young officer giving advice might say “you just shouldn’t do that”. On the other hand (im assuming) you know that this is something that will happen regardless of advice. So with that you show someone how to twist it in their favor. I dont know but the little things like that show how much experience you have.

[@mlsteele3]

This video helped me feel SO much more confident! Thank you sir! 😊 👮‍♂️🚔

[@Mgmmatrix1]

For the scenario based questions would answering the questions by saying “ I would do what my training dictates for the kind of situation.” Since I don’t have any law enforcement experience or training, how would I know what I’m supposed to do? I feel that like that could be a good answer and u wouldn’t potentially hamstring yourself.

[@InPursuit360]

They understand you have no LE experience, you can make the statement "I would do what my training dictates in that situation, without official training and my understanding of my duty is to protect and serve, I would consider doing something like......." Video coming soon, thanks for the question. Good luck.

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.

I wish my son could have seen this video before he went for his p.o. interview, he just had one and said he was nervous and it was intimidating. To take you to the beginning, about a dozen men showed up for the written and physical and half of them had to drop because they weren't able to pass the physical so then that left 6, one of which was my son. So he passed both the written and physical parts and then had the interview which he did pass that, all 6 did and my son came in 5th place for scoring on the interview. Next he said he waits to get a call to see if he passes the background check and if he does, he will be sent to have a mental evaluation done, and then if he passes that he will be headed to the police academy for 4 months and then hopefully become a police officer. He wants this so badly and I'm praying he passes everything and makes it all the way. Is it bad that he came in 5th on the interview scoring list? He started work at Walmart as a cart pusher and is now a department manager, he's been with Walmart for 13 years. His work ethic is excellent.
