The Police Officer Online Assessment Process : Commonly Asked Questions
What are the police online assessment questions?
The police officer online assessment is split into a number of different sections. Stage 1 is the Situational Judgement Test. In this exercise you will be presented with a number of scenarios similar to what you would face in the role of a police officer. Your task is to read the scenario and choose the best available option which suits the scenario. The next stage, is to undertake a video interview. This is a competency-based interview and you be required to answer a number of questions. The idea of this interview is to assess you against the values required to become a police officer in the UK. The final parts of the online assessment process is the Stage 3, Written and Briefing Exercises. During these exercises, you will be presented with scenarios and your goal is to advise on your recommendations to help resolve the scenarios. It is vital to remember with all of these exercises that you always follow the Competencies and Values Framework, when responding and recommending actions.
How do I pass the police assessment centre?
To pass the new online police assessment centre – which has replaced the old SEARCH assessment centre and the Day 1 assessment – candidates must undertake four exercises. These include:
- Situational Judgement Test;
- Competency Based Interview;
- The Written Exercise;
- The Briefing Exercise.
All exercises must be completed for candidates to pass the police assessment centre.
What is the pass mark for the Police Officer Online Assessment?
Although an exact pass rate has not been advertised, you would be required to pass each individual exercise, there would be no overall score. Always attempt to aim for 100% in each of the exercises. However, looking at the past SEARCH and Day 1 assessments, based on this you would be expected to get at least 55% in each exercise.
What should I wear to the police assessment centre?
Whether you are attending the police assessment centre in person or via the new virtual online process, you must wear smart formal clothes such as a suit and tie. Women should wear a shirt and jacket with either a formal skirt or trousers. Men should wear a suit and tie. A black or navy suit is recommended.
If you are attending the virtual online assessment centre, then ensure your surroundings are also well presented as you will be required to be visible on webcam during your assessment. Make sure you are not sitting with a window directly behind you as this can cause the exposure of the sunlight to darken the image of you. Try to aim for a neutral background, such as a white or light grey background. You will have a chance to test out the webcam before the assessment begins.
How long does the police assessment centre take?
Each exercise has their own timings. However, you are allocated plenty of time to complete all of the exercises, so there is no need to rush. Please see the breakdown below::
- Situational Judgement Test – You can take from 30 minutes to two hours to complete the twelve scenarios and questions;
- Competency Based Interview – The interview lasts for 35 minutes;
- The Written Exercise – You will have forty minutes to undertake and complete this exercise;
- The Briefing Exercise – You will have ten minutes to read the accompanying materials and a further thirty-six to minutes to complete the exercise.

This live-streamed webinar will allow you to gauge where you are in regards to your preparation for your assessment. This is because you will get an overview of all of the areas you need to prepare for before your online assessment centre.

This unique ‘aftercare’ service comes at no additional expense to yourself. You are extremely unlikely to be offered such support by the police service you are applying to, so give yourself an advantage by attending our webinar.
