WHEN DOES IT TAKE PLACE?

- Again, you will be tested on your ability to demonstrate the NEW core competencies of a police officer;
- It is imperative that during the preparation period, you take the time to undergo as much research about the police force for which you are applying to. This will enable you to match up their core competencies with your skills and abilities, to demonstrate your capability of performing the job well.
PREPARING FOR THE INTERVIEW
Some of the most common approaches to assessment preparation begin with; internet research, contacting, and arranging visits to local police stations, as well as talking with serving officers and probationers. However, “those candidates that stand out on the day use the experience of those who have already been through the process and have successfully passed”. Our insider guide will allow you to undergo intense preparation which has been known to help hundreds of people through the selection process of becoming a police officer. It is important to remember that this interview will be the first chance that your recruiters will speak to you in person.

Make sure that the first time you present yourself to potential new employers, that you highlight yourself in a positive and professional demeanour.
