    been watching these like crazy lately, interview is tomorrow!!!
  • Just passed my oral board wanted to pass along helpful Information because I needed it when I was preparing. #1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to work for this department. That starts the interview off, have something short but effective to say here. A few other situational questions involving stress, integrity, deadly force. It is nerve wrecking sitting across from 3 high ranking officers but if you have any life experience use it to your advantage and make it fit the questions.

    Exam and PT this is this Saturday. Looking forward to the oral board!
  • Passed 3 oral board interviews Think something this video should add is to sell yourself too. Make sure you somehow word your work experience to align with the departments values and mission statement. And whenever I answered a question, I always referenced back to the mission statement and department values, and also mentioned the city’s problems and how I can help contribute to mitigating it. You’ll sound like a broken record but I was congratulated all 3 times in 3 different departments saying I came prepared lol. Now onto the hard part 🥲 poly and background shit. If I don’t get hired in the end I’ll just keep trying

    Just listing to this makes me nervous for my oral board lmao
  • My oral is Thursday! Very excited prior service Army MP going local!
  • @Smurphenstein
    To be honest, I saw this video come up in my suggestions and wondered who on earth would want to be a police officer these days. Glad to see the calibre of those who are in the comments section.
  • @Matt-ud9op
    I loved this series. You should make a video series about things such as FTO.

    Thank you for this and thank you for your service, my oral interview is within a day, been researching all evening!
  • @kvngsal7505
    Appreciate the great info. I have my oral board interview in the morning and I’m beyond nervous.
  • I just turned 20, 3 months ago and I have a board interview tomorrow with a county jail. When I was 17 I enlisted in the Army Guard. Which is really young in both jobs. And im hoping I can use my age as a bonus to myself saying that I know exactly what I want in life and am willing to do anything to get there. But I’m nervous but I’m ready to move forward in life with this huge opportunity.

    Watching this to try to prepare for mine in 2 weeks.
  • If you have any military background, it'll help you because it reminded me the multitude of military boards I went to. 1st, enter that room like you're hot shit, sit in position of attention, greet each party separately, thank them for taking their time to interview you, it's okay to elaborate.
