what are some of the questions asked in an police interview?

Question

what type questions are asked for employment for a police officer?

Answer 1

Have you ever been convicted of a felony.What are your qualifications for the job. Have you been convicted of a crime. Have you ever plead nolo or been given first offender status. are you on probation for any crime now. Do you have a drivers license. Do you now or have you ever used any illegal drugs. Have you ever been fired from a job. Are you willing to take a polygraph test. There are times when you may be required to use deadly force, could you use deadly force. Are you willing to work any shift which may include nights or rotating shifts and holidays. A few that I can remember but there are more questions.

Answer 2

Since you did not state the type of crime a police would interview a person about, detectives will ask general questions such as
where were you on a certain date and at a certain time... Do you know a person by the name of...
Where do you live.....
However, depending on the attitude, body language and answers given by the person being interviewed when answering the general questions, detectives can continue to ask more questions that are not considered general questions.

Answer 3

Simple scenarios questions are common

You live in an apartment. Your neighbor knows you are a cop and comes by to asks you to ask another tenant to be quiet. What do you do?

The good answer is to refer your friend to the local police department. Even if it is in your primary jurisdiction, you are not there to act as private enforcement for your friend. Bad answer is to go over and ask the person to be quiet. You have now used your police power for private enforcement – very bad judgment.

I was asked this same question at three separate oral boards.

Don’t get flustered. There are really no hard and fast answers. Use common sense. They don’t expect you to know the law or procedure, the will teach you that.

Good luck
