Q1. Why do you want to become a police officer?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I want to become a police officer for several reasons. It is a job where I will get to make a difference in my work, and contribute to society in a positive way. I want to become a police officer because of the level of responsibility and commitment that comes with the role. My personality is that of someone who wants to continually progress, develop, and be placed in challenging situations where my skill set and communication skills will be tested. I am the happiest in my work when I feel I am constantly developing and growing. I also want to become a police officer because there is so much to learn. I enjoy learning new things at work and also find appealing the fact I will get to interact on a daily basis with members of the community, with other police officers, and with stakeholders who have a vested interest in the work of the police service.”
Q2. What skills are needed to be a police officer?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“Police officers need exceptional communication skills. How you speak to people, how you listen, and how you obtain written and verbal evidence are all examples of situations as a police officer must demonstrate effective communication skills whilst carrying out their duties. Police officers need to alter their style of communication to deal with suspects and victims, and they must always be consistent in respect of the police service values, rules, and operational procedures. Team working and independent working skills are other important skills. As a police officer, you must put the needs of the team first whilst acting as a positive role model. Other skills needed include confidence and resilience to deal with the situations you will regularly face as a police officer. Members of the public expect you to deal with a variety of situations in a calm and professional manner. Police officers possess a good level of knowledge of police procedures, the law, police officer competencies, and the needs of the community they are serving. Finally, police officers must be capable of using their initiative to solve crimes, complex problems, and local community issues.”

- Gather evidence, conduct initial investigations and question suspects and witnesses;
- Arrest suspects with the strict use of procedures and policy in regards to the human rights, and the health and safety of the suspect, yourself, colleagues and the community;

Police Officer Recruitment – Your Questions Answered!
Q1: What are the Interview questions for Police Officer?
During your police officer interview, you could get asked a mixture of competency and motivational based questions. This can range from: ‘Why do you want become a police officer?’, to ‘What qualities make a good police officer?’ These are good examples of motivational based questions.
You may also be asked competency-based questions. These are usually based around your past experiences. They normally start like: ‘Can you tell me about a time when you had to…’
Q2: How long does it take to hear back after police interview?
You should hear back quite rapidly after both your online assessment interview and final interview. We would expect you to hear back within a few days and no longer than a week. You would usually be informed of this at the end of the interview on when you should hear, but if you have any concerns reach out to recruitment team at the police service you are applying to.
Q3: What is required from potential successful candidates?
To be successful in the selection process to become a police officer with a UK police service, you will be expected to be able to demonstrate a number of core skills and qualities.
