Tips for police officer interviews.

Do you have any tips to help prepare for an upcoming police officer interview?

Are there common interview questions that come up again and again?

hi, im applying to be police cadet and i was wondering if you can tell me some helpful facts about the board interview. Also on the backround check, what do the exactly do to check. Do they see if i have any records or do they do a private investigation of sorts? Also i know their is a lie detector test which im not scared in but in my past i have stollen something from a store which i feel aweful about now, will this effect my chances? To tell the truth i have no criminal history of any sorts so i know im fine but im still worrying that may prohibit me from joining, its not like i was caught but inside i know i did something wrong.

Be honest,be prepared to explain what happened, and what you did about it, and how you attempt to live daily based on your morals and values. Don't try to outthink the test. Just answer directly. Listen, everyone makes mistakes. What is important is to own them, show you have learned from them and how you have not made those same mistakes again. Make sure you are living today consistent with a lifestyle that you would hope a LEO would have. Good luck!
