Watch this video to see my demonstration of a police oral board closing statement.

As a general rule, there are two types of Police Oral Board Closing Statements; one is brief and the other is more detailed. In this video I will explain both and provide you with a demonstration of the brief closing statement for a police captain oral board.

The reason that an oral board closing statement is so important - if you have the opportunity to deliver such a statement - is that your oral board closing statement will likely be the last words that the oral board panel will hear from you before they start determining your final score. This makes your closing statement is a major influence opportunity.

Detailed Closing Statement:
Generally, the detailed closing statement is used when you only have the opportunity to give a closing statement and not an opening statement. As with my opening statement recommendation, I do believe the detailed closing statement should be chronological and I also believe that you should begin your closing statement by thanking the panel members for assisting your agency.

Brief Closing Statement:
When done right, the brief closing statement is a reminder - or summary - to the panel of the qualifications that you possess that have earned you the right to serve at the next rank. Think of it as your exclamation point as to why you deserve to be at the top of the promotion list.

Watch the videos to get more information on how to craft both types of oral board closing statements as well as to view the captain-level closing statement demonstration.
