POLICE OFFICER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS [ Ссылка ]
POLICE OFFICER INTERVIEW TIP #1 – Learn and understand the role of a police officer before your interview!
This is very important. Most people think police officers are there to simply catch criminals and solve crimes, and whilst these do form part of the job, there’s so much more to the role!
Police officers work every day in partnership with other agencies such as the local authority and community groups, to minimize the fear of crime, provide reassurance, and improve the quality of life for members of the public.
Make sure you have a thorough understanding of the police officer's role before your interview.
POLICE OFFICER INTERVIEW TIP #2 – Think carefully WHY you want to become a police officer.
One of the most common interview questions is, why do you want to be a police officer? Most people respond by saying they want to be one so they can ‘catch criminals’ but that type of weak answer will gain very few marks.
If I were applying to become a police officer, I would say I want the role because I’d enjoy the level of responsibility that comes with the position, I would get to make a real difference to the communities I am serving, and I would thrive being part of an organization that wants to create and build effective partnerships to solve problems in communities.
