The goal of becoming a police officer is held by many around the world. The biggest hurdle to those wanting to accomplish this noble goal is passing the employment interview. There are many books that specifically help police applicants pass the written exam, however there is a tremendous lack of material focused on passing the employment interview. The most important part of each police department’s recruit selection process is the interview stage. This is when they sit down with you, learn everything about you, and determine if you have what it takes to become a police officer with their organization. The interview is subjective, and you need to impress your interviewer(s).
An applicant could have the best skills and experience but if they are not able to articulate themselves properly or answer questions in the correct manner, they will not impress the police department they are applying for. Police recruiters are looking for specific qualities in a recruit and are looking for thoughtful well prepared responses to their interview questions that are delivered in a certain manner.
