A comprehensive promotional interview study outline covering everything from types of oral boards and study techniques to question analysis and answer delivery. To accompany your study outline, view a series of training videos detailing how to best prepare for your oral board interview. These videos feature Richard Dean, a 38-year law enforcement veteran and professional training consultant.
Here’s a small section of the study outline and two corresponding training videos:
- Psychological Preparation
- Make Up Your Mind that You Want the Promotion
- Believe it is Attainable
- Avoid negative self-talk
- Do Not Compare Yourself to Others
- There is nothing you can do about your competition
- It is the best prepared, not the most qualified, that gets promoted
- Preparation leads to confidence
- Do Not Engage in Mind Games with Others
- You cannot trust how prepared or unprepared someone says they are
- Start Thinking like a Sergeant (or the rank you are testing for) immediately
- Consider what you would do if you were a sergeant
- It is great practice
- It will ultimately help you make better decisions
- Consider what you would do if you were a sergeant
WATCH & LEARN
Hundreds of videos of good, better, and best responses by real police officers answering a wide variety of promotional oral board questions. These interview questions are organized into nine different categories: opening statements, bragging points, supervisory and leadership concepts, policy and procedure, tactical or emergency operations, personnel issues, tough choices, hot topics, closing comments.
Here are a couple of sample questions:
- You learn that your Lieutenant has just granted the request of an employee, when you had previously denied the same request. How would you handle the situation?
- What role does a supervisor play in motivating employees and how do you plan to fulfill that role?
