What kind of Questions do they ask during an interview to become a police officer?

Answer 1

Becoming a law enforcement officer is a more complicated process than submitting an application and going to an interview or two. They're going to do a thorough background check, probably make you take a polygraph, and have a number of entrance examinations for you to pass.

The examination will attempt to determine, among other things, your ability to accurately and rapidly judge a situation based on as few facts as possible. If you see someone reaching for their pocket, you need to be prepared for the possibility that they'll pull a gun on you, but you don't want to shoot first and ask questions later either. Same goes for crowd control, dealing with drunks, etc. They'll ask you how you would handle various situations and compare your results with how the situation ought to be handled.

Questions specific to law enforcement will probably relate to your experience in the field, your criminal background, your financial background, etc. Someone who has declared bankruptcy more than once is unlikely to be accepted, as that demonstrates a significant lack of discretion, and even a single bankruptcy looks bad. They'll ask you about your attitude towards the law, your experience with crime and criminals, whether you've ever used drugs (and they'll want a urine sample for that one), etc.

Answer 2

Some questions that I have heard of, by current officers, are: do you own any guns?
Do you carry your gun? Have you ever stolen anything? and others that will test your character. Be prepared if seeking a job to be asked the same question in a different format because they will want to make sure that you are consistent and not a lie. Good luck if you are seeking a job as an officer.

Answer 3

They ask questions that will reveal your character, ability to think on your feet, and use common sense. They generally want you to "stick you your guns" once you give an answer, sometimes modifying a situational question over and over until you reach a point where you would change your answer. Usually at least one or two legal questions (know the state and US Constitution, and basic laws, especially the MV Code, becuase its about 60-75% of your day, usually.)

The Captain asked them if they could shoot someone,they all responded I guess so so they were led to a room where there wife was an handed a gun and told to go shoot there wife (one at a time).The first one goes in and can't do it.The second one does the same.the third guy goes in and all you hear is BLAM,BLAM,BLAM,then a bunch of ruckus,well the third guy comes out and states I ran out of bullets so I beat her to death with a chair.The Captain says they were blanks in that gun but you'll do
