Historically, the police exam has around a 20-30% fail rate, and the police oral board interview has a staggering 50% fail rate. The good news about those statistics is that applicants get a lot better the second time around. In fact, the fail rate drastically decreases each time they face the interview panel. To help prepare you for the oral exam, I've included a free interview practice question below.
Just remember that sometimes there are no "right" or "wrong" answer to the scenario base questions unless your response is way out in left field. Ultimately if you use good common sense and respond with a sound logical answer, you should do fine. Also prepare to answer followup questions from the panel.
Police Oral Board Sample Interview Question and Answer:
1. You are dispatched to domestic disturbance between a male and female at the downtown fair. Upon arrival, both subjects were still engaged in a verbal dispute. As you walk closer to the couple, they become extremely belligerent towards. The male half walks towards you with a clinched fist, while telling you that he was going to cause harm to you. It is apparent from his physical build that the male was a lot bigger than you. You tell him to stop, but he is still advancing towards you.
What should you do next?
A. Continue telling the male to stop or you will engage him in a fist fight.
B. Turn around and run the opposite direction until backup arrives
C. Retrieve your non-lethal departmental approved taser and administer a stun until he falls to the ground
D. Retrieve your firearm and shoot the male dead
Explanation:
The correct answer here is C. You can see, base on this scenario that the male refuse to comply with your verbal commands. As a result, he leaves you no other option but to retrieve your less lethal taser, and apply a stun to his person. Other answers like D would not be a good course of action as a non lethal tool such as a taser or a baton is quite effective in subduing the suspect.
