1. What do you know about our department?
2. What was the most stressful situation you've ever been in? How did you handle it?
3. What skills can you bring to this department?
4. If you caught a friend smoking marajuana and he didn't know you had seen him, what would you do?
5. If you are dispatched to a call in a dorm room(this was a campus police job) for the smell of marajuana, and when you get to the dorm room that was reported and open the door, the odor is overwhelming, what would you do?(Look up your reasonable suspicion laws for odor and wether or not you are allowed to search a room just based on smell)
You do every damn thing you can to prepare for the questions you are going to be asked. Don't ever give an "I don't know".
Man I just had my first police officer interview last week and I totally bombed it.
I try and try and try to stay honest, and I spilled my heart out in that interview not lying about anything. If I get another interview I'm just going to tell them what they want to freaking hear. Damned politics.
