Questions and Answers about California Highway Patrol Hiring Process
What is the interview process like at California Highway Patrol?
Long. Most people who are capable find an equivalent or better position before a job offer is given. Psych evaluation, multiple interviews, physical evaluations, background check, and follow up to each of those, before you even get into the academy. You will be assigned a background investigator and it is incredibly important you build a great relationship with them. Un Academy is political, based on chance, but legitimately challenging as well. Really strange combination of pseudo military and college. The job and knowing the material is very important, so if you fail any test, you could get sent home immediately. Asked April 1, 2021
