[@eduardopalmerin9520]

As someone going through the hiring process, you have no idea how at ease your videos have put me. Thank you.

[@copmom911]

Awesome! That's wonderful! 💙

[@onebreath210]

I just passed my oral board interview today! Most intense interview I ever had and I totally thought i blew it. Then i went on to do the integrity interview and cvsa test. I passed those and next up is the psychological evaluation and background

[@copmom911]

That’s awesome! 💙 congrats!

[@SNAKEEATER1776]

Appreciate the tips! Headed to my first interview post-military retirement on Thursday.

[@copmom911]

Wonderful! I hope you did amazing! 💙

[@SNAKEEATER1776]

@@copmom911 I did. I got a conditional offer immediately after the interview. Still have to go through the background, poly, psych, and med… But pending successful outcome, I’ve already signed the offer from the assistant chief. They said it would speed up and prioritize me for this phase of the hiring process.

[@sarahvoight9142]

Yes. Practice practice practice! And recording yourself so you know what your interviewers are seeing. Helpful for all interviews!

[@copmom911]

Isnt it? Thanks for much for watching! 💙

I’ve recently completed the hiring/ competition for my local PD, and will be hearing this week if I have been selected. You provided so many great tips, and all though I watched and listened to a lot of content related to police interview prep before my panel interview - I wish I would have had this particular video prior to reference as well. Thanks for this video!

[@copmom911]

That’s awesome! Hope you get good news! Thank you so much for watching! 💙

[@viviendvali7059]

Wow! That is awesome! Do you mind sharing any interview questions?

[@Adg.andrea]

I have my Oral Board Interview tomorrow ! So excited. Thanks for the video. 🤝

[@copmom911]

Awesome! Hope it went well! 💙

[@hungphat1553]

How’d it go??

[@rachelwalden8625]

Thank you for the tips, especially touching on how to wear your hair for women.

I was a LEO for 37 years in South Florida. My advice, take the firefighter exam instead!!! 😆 Better pay, hours, and benefits. 😜

[@copmom911]

lol, yes agreed! But we are way cooler than fire!

[@MrSouthofBoston]

@@copmom911I know. I'm just a bit jealous of those hose daggers. 😜

[@Ljlowery10p]

I have my board interview in a week! Thank you so much for the support!

[@copmom911]

Awesome! Best of luck to you! Let me know how it goes! 💙

[@andresgarcia691]

Hey cop mom! Have you ever seen the question “would you give your mom a ticket” asked and if so are they just testing your honesty here..?

[@copmom911]

Ugh, hopefully that one is phasing out because no one would and everyone has caught on! But their out with the old may be taking longer! 😩

[@truesaiyan8310]

Hey, whats the best way to answer if they ask you, "How do you feel about using deadly force?" What answer are they looking for, and whats the best way to answer?

[@copmom911]

I'm not sure what they are looking for...but my response would be how you honestly feel. In general, no police officer wants to use deadly force, however that is sometimes necessary to protect ourselves or others. My desire to live and/or protect others is stronger than someone else's to kill me 💙

[@simsart]

Thank you for this!

[@copmom911]

Thank you for watching! 💙

[@jsacodes916]

What have been the hardest parts of the job? What have been the most rewarding and enjoyable parts of the job? I'm 49 yrs old and doing testing next month.

[@copmom911]

Hardest would be having to work with and for horrible people…most rewarding for me has been becoming a supervisor and watching others grow and develop in their career! 💙

[@ericadawnify]

Just seen the cruiser photo, are you RNC in Newfoundland?? I’m from NL but do Forensics in Ontario

[@copmom911]

Hi! No ma’am, I’m in the US, those are just stock photos…

[@FightwFire]

Hi, I have poly graph on in 4 days but I completely forgot to mention about police presence incident . Can tell this to polygraph-er when I got for polygraph test or they could disqualify me for amending my info sheet ?? Please let me know , Thanks !

[@copmom911]

I would just notify them asap, not the day of your polygraph

[@FightwFire]

@@copmom911 thanks a lot !

Hey cop mom. I have a question my oral interview is in August and I don't have much life experience I have to speak for 10 minutes I started working on what I would say. But when I read it im only 2 minutes in.

[@copmom911]

Hey! And are you including any and all relevant things? You have to speak for 10 minutes on it? I would include things I could discuss about overcoming obstacles, achieving goals, work ethic, etc. For example, I worked in customer service in high school and was promoted to a front end supervisor due to experience, multitasking ability, working well with others. To some this may have seemed insignificant but I expanded on it. Or discuss a goal you had and how you achieved it…even in your personal life. Many people discredit their own achievements and abilities. I was 21 when I became an officer and didn’t have much “life experience” but I expanded on what I had done and how it would serve me as an officer. While I am not opposed to people going into law enforcement later in life, there is some truth in teaching an old dog new tricks. Many agencies are looking for young people eager to learn and mold them into what they want! 💙

[@miyvixen2609]

@@copmom911 Yes, I have to tell about myself for 10 minutes or I'll be docked points. I wanna thank you for the advice because I was told the chances of us hiring someone straight out of high school are low. Reminder I'm an 18 grad student who always strived to be in enforcement since I was a little kid. If I do get hired at the department I want to be hired to I'd be the youngest ever hired the youngest they just hired was 20.

[@andrewevans9684]

If only it was that easy lol

[@copmom911]

I know, I’m sorry…but hopefully this helps you some! 💙

[@pizzaparty-r1c]

Why do you want to be a cop? Me: I loved that movie 'Super Troopers', so here I am. What is your weakness? Me: Donuts. What is your strength? Me: Donuts. What would you do in X, Y, Z situation? Me: Whatever the department policy states.

[@copmom911]

Ha! You're hired! 💙

[@hounddog946]

I want to set an example for kids to take the correct path through life. That a winner every time.

[@MarkelBeverley]

Can I wear a white oxford, navy tie, and navy slacks or should I get a darker colored Oxford? I literally have an interview at the PD soon.

[@copmom911]

Either color would be fine. Do you have a jacket to wear with it?

[@MarkelBeverley]

@@copmom911 Okay, thanks! And I don't, but I can purchase one if I need to. I went with a blue Oxford, navy tie, and dark gray slacks. It's not a good idea to go without a jacket is it?

[@copmom911]

No, it is fine. A jacket usually looks a little more professional but I doubt you lost any kind of points without one. I’m sure you did great!

[@MarkelBeverley]

@@copmom911 Oh, okay. Thanks so much!
