I'm in the selection process. My department hiring order is a bit different. Just passed the poly. Can you elaborate on the psych interview a bit? Why was it so intense and what type of questions were asked?
I'm in the application process for a probation officer position, the order in which they do it is a bit different compared to the standard LE process. I've so far passed my written, oral boards, background check, and polygraph. Next step in the pysch eval and a physical. I'm a bit nervous about the psych, how did yours go?
The best mindset to have for an oral board is (like you said), “I deserve a seat at this table”. Don’t let the panel intimidate you, they are humans just like you.
This is my second year applying to a bunch of departments. I’ve talked with officers, it took some of them even with a college degree 2-4 years to get hired. If you want this career, don’t give up! We need passionate officers. Goodluck everyone ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙
Hi! Thank you! I'm actually working on a video all about the police academy now--keep a look out :) I'm 20 weeks in so there's a wholllleee lot to talk about haha
All that for 40k a year Job, im going for written tonight cus i just passed my Agility physical test. I keep trying with no hire, all i got was minor traffic on my record. Just wasting ppls time, i think background should be first before u go through all that exercise only to get dropped
Steel's Songs Steel's Songs it’s actually a little over 60k a year during the Academy and during probationary time then you get bumped up. I know new p2 making 100k with OT. And just keep trying if it’s a passion to be out there and work within your community. I have a speeding point on my driving record and also I have a past arrest from when I was in college but I never feel discouraged to apply and keep trying. Be honest, grow and learn and you’ll be fine. If you don’t pass the Psyche well that’s another story.
I'm in the process for san jose pd and their process is SO different. The order of everything is different, the panel interview is in the testing process with the written and physical. I'm done with the background, which was super in depth. they flew to Massachusetts to look at my old house and talk to my old neighbors lol. I'm just waiting to hear from the hiring board results. San jose is tough, I applied in January so hopefully I get in lol
Melanie Lalonde Oh wow! It doesn’t surprise me how in depth some departments go during the background phase. Good luck! How long is San Jose’s academy, if you don’t mind me asking? I’d be curious to hear about your experience!
@@WhatLCSays their academy is 7 months long with a 48 hour crisis intervention course after, then 16 weeks of field training. I've heard they go way beyond post requirements and so far going through their hiring process I definitely believe that. However I had a really bad experience with their third party polygraph company. They retested me but the first experience was very...unprofessional.
Good to hear your story. I am at the background phase in mine right now. I already did the written, physical and panel interview. The next phase after the background will be the polygraph test. I think I am more nervous about the polygraph than any other part. It is not because I lied or anything like that but it is because I have done physical, interviews, background and written tests before. I have never done a polygraph so I don’t know what to expect. I read that once I am truthful I will be fine so that put me at some ease. I always think that I have lived a boring life because I have never done drugs, except tried marijuana just to taste it, or anything like that. Now that I am applying for my dream job I am happy I had a “boring” life. 🙂
Dom if you’re worried about academics, then I highly suggest you read up on case law regarding traffic stops, search and seizure, use of force, etc. I would focus on the following: Carroll v US Mapp v Ohio Gideon v Wainwright Miranda v Arizona In Re Gault Terry v Ohio Tennessee v Garner You should also read Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement (it was required reading in my academy) Good luck and I’m sure you’ll be fine with the academic stuff!
Was ur reading comprehension test the Nelson Denny test? And if so what was your strategy to read the 5 paragraphs and answer the 36 questions in 20 min?
Im starting my process first by taking CJBATLEO in about a month.. a little lost still on where to go after that. Other than submit application after i get my score. Physical is not a problem, already trained for that. But just a bit nervous about where to go after my exam and whatto do
I’ve been in the hiring process for the Michigan state police for a little over a year now. Andddd I just passed my hiring interview. Now I’m waiting for my conditional offer :)
Rashaad Cormier Congrats!!!! 🎊🎊 that’s so awesome! State police is a different beast and I applaud you and your dedication. Keep me posted on the process!
30 push-up in one minute. 30 sit-up in one minute. And 1.5 mile run in 13 minutes. I am still not there yet but been training everyday. Going to join a cross fit today too.
Brian Guatemala not long. I got almost instant approval after filling out application online. I schedule it in a weekend so that i don’t have to take day off from work. So that’s about couple week I think. Where i am it’s usually written and physical first then all the background check and psych evaluations after.
I asked them what they thought sets this department apart from others in the area. I also asked about the challenges they face as a department. I asked about the qualities and characteristics that set a good police officer from an average police officer.....and one or 2 more.
Dang we are the same I'm almost 30 and I'm applying soon. Only thing is being fit I was pretty fit working old job but now I'm like bleh. Lol So lots of hard work ahead.
With reference to our previous comment- example; Cop- `GIVE me your id` You- `YES, CERTAINLY, it`s just that we charge you for OUR TIME with that performance, please and thank you` (be polite, it makes for better-business-practice) example; Cop- `Where are you travelling to? You- `It`s just that we charge you for answering your questions, please & thank you`
Its all in who you know. I did not get on with any department I tried for years. If it were not for the Undersheriff growing up in the same neighborhood as my mother I would have never gotten offer. All it took was meeting the sheriff and his poor attitude and I walked out on the same day I was hired. Don't think its all going to be peaches and cream, it not. What I have seen for years is many who did get hired were the same kids I saw in school and they were the type that got picked on all the time. When this type gets hired and for many it tends to go to their head and they end up doing dumb things that get them fired or in one case put in prison (PEDO). I live right outside and Army base that supplies the local LE agencies with new recruits, these tend to be the first they hire. Why ? Because the agency heads know these officers are newly discharged from the military and that these recruits will just end up getting their LE credentials here in my state and then transfer back to their home states for LE jobs there. So its beneficial for the departments in my town to hire them since the recruits won't be here long and the local LE agencies don't have to contribute or pay out a retirement.
I want to be a police officer, but I have a few things on my record, nothing major, but I don’t know the dates they occurred. I know they ask that on the application. How can I get a background check done to be sure everything I put on my application is 100% accurate?
I'm pretty sure you can request your criminal history record at your local department. But, they don't need to know exact dates as long as you remember month/year. Good luck with everything!
What LC Says I’m back! just an update that my city police department hired 3 this process and i was one of them. it was a long hiring process with all the background,interviews etc. but i’m excited. I go off to the academy in December 👍🏼
Hello Tell me please. What exams do you need to take to get into the police academy? and if you know where, you can buy the package online. so that you can do it yourself online.
list everything down and be 100% honest with why you left the jobs. I had a job for 4 weeks (2 weeks in I decided to put my 2 weeks notice lol) and I still listed it. don't omit anything since it could show deceit, even if it wasn't your intention.
For my department I applied for I passed my written, physical, and ora board. Next is background process if I make it through that the poly, phsyc, and medical, then job offer I’ll be getting contacted for my background within the next two weeks 😬
ACT You can take either NTN or Pelletb, I took both and I find that Pelletb was much easier than the NTN but it really depends on the person. Some people do better with the NTN because of the video scenario questions.
@@WhatLCSays well with this qaurentine law enforcement jobs are limited the only three detention facilities that are hiring in driving distance from me is Shelby county correctional center jail east women’s detention facility and whiteville private prison in hardeman county and that’s some ways away I hope when qaurentine is over west Tennessee state prison will be hiring in hemming Tennessee their maximum security so their best equipped
Hey! That’s awesome you’re interested in the field. First step would be to figure out where you want to work (state/city/county/jurisdiction) then see what departments are in that area and check out their website for detailed application steps or reach out to a recruiter. Good luck!
Congratulations! Hope everything goes well for you! What state did you apply in? If you don't mind? Please. I was hoping in some sample questions they asked.
Thank you! They asked a lot of questions throughout the process. Were you interested in questions pertaining to background, polygraph, panel, or psych?
FIREARMS TESTLAB the questions vary and most departments require candidates to sign off that the will not discuss the questions. The best thing to do is research sample questions because and applicant is not allowed to discuss the questions that were asked. This could lead to them getting disqualified from the process
What LC Says aw it’s ok love your channel and I passed my written exam and my physical fitness exam was yesterday and I passed as well !❤️❤️ I have to do my application packet for the background investigation now 😊
6 months?!?! Wow so lucky. I am from NY where it takes anywhere from 6-12 months just for the civil service results/list to be released. If you do not mind me asking, what state do you work in? Currently looking at departments out of state!
Courtney Silberer we have a lot of people that come to our department from NY! (Some actually come down for the training since we get paid while in the academy and do a cpl of years then move back up north lol) Email me and we can talk-my Department is awesome and theyre always looking for talented people!!
@@WhatLCSays Wow thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate it! Would love to send you an email but I can't find one on your page, I did come across your insta account listed on your page though!
congrats!! I have to be honest and say i have no clue what a post entrance exam is lol buuuut i'm assuming it's along the same lines as the test i took (reading comprehension, math, verbal, etc.)
They will test you reading comprehension and your attention to detail just when you do the memory portion look at the pictures carefully I mean look at the smallest details for instance if they ask you to look at a picture look at everything like how many belt loops he has
Not weird at all! So I’ve seen people use police exam prep books. I wish I could help someone train to take the written test, I’m just not sure I’m qualified lol
I agree with Tiony Tione. I have both a bachelors and a master's. A degree is not required for patrol work (in some departments) but it will help you rank up faster and is required if you want to make sgt or above. I can't tell you if it's worth it or not, that's a question only you can answer lol
About to film a video on that actually! 1.) relax 2.) take a few practice exams (NYPD, New Orleans, etc have practice questions) 3.) get to your testing sight early so you know where you need to go 4.) get solid sleep the night before Good luck!!
I asked them what they thought sets this department apart from others in the area. I also asked about the challenges they face as a department. I asked about the qualities and characteristics that set a good police officer from an average police officer.....and one or 2 more.
@@WhatLCSays Wow, these are both excellent and professional questions(like personal development to workforce production)!! Very impressive! Great job!~~
How did u start I been looking into becoming a cop but all departments I try to apply for say u all ready need to be certified but I'm not do u have any pointers for what I should do or do I need to just call the departments recruitment office? Thanks
American White boy XD that means you need to take a civil service exam and if you pass that, you receive an eligibility letter. After the eligibility letter you just wait to become certified. It could take a few years until you get a certification letter. After that, you can express written interest if you're invited to, and from there they'll tell you what you need to do to apply.
I can't speak for others but mine was as simple as applying online and getting a date and time to show up for the written and physical test. No pre-certification needed! A lot of departments in my area and in surrounding counties are like that too. Maybe broaden your search and look at out-of-state opportunities.
It's important to be truthful on your background packet and answer all the questions truthfully (prior work experience will be one of the questions asked).
@@bryanquiroga3912 Include that in your packet for reason for leaving and while you're doing your background interview you'll have a chance to explain the circumstances around your firing. Always be truthful!!
@@bryanquiroga3912 Lying is the absolute worse thing you can do. But you should probably have a good excuse why you were working so slowly. Be honest about it. Maybe you didn't like how your boss was treating you? Tell them if they do ask about it.
Application process has changed since I made this video. I’d encourage you to research and reach out to a recruiter of a department you’re interested in!
TalkWithDP What questions did they ask you on your polygraph, and were there any moments where you felt like lying or possibly did, but still passed anyway?
I think being a cop should be physically strong and good a fighting not just a honest normal person getting pay lots of money from us being a tax payer.
@@johnpkang I have seen pepper spray, batons, and electrical shock not even phase some folks. If it is just a physical fight most females will be no match.
Find a department you'd like to work for and see if they're hiring! If you're open to relocating, there are a lot of departments across the county that are looking for qualified applicants. Good luck!

how you did in the polygraph? hope u did well bro
PLUMMER DID YOU GET THE JOB
What books should I read for the academy? I already have a police exam preparation book. I'm more worried about academic stuff.
Dom if you’re worried about academics, then I highly suggest you read up on case law regarding traffic stops, search and seizure, use of force, etc.
I would focus on the following:
Carroll v US
Mapp v Ohio
Gideon v Wainwright
Miranda v Arizona
In Re Gault
Terry v Ohio
Tennessee v Garner
You should also read Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement (it was required reading in my academy)
Good luck and I’m sure you’ll be fine with the academic stuff!
Was ur reading comprehension test the Nelson Denny test? And if so what was your strategy to read the 5 paragraphs and answer the 36 questions in 20 min?

Those questions are confidential and vary on candidates. All other candidates who took them have to sign a non-disclosure contract.

Jesse Suarez what helped you pass the written?
ACT nothing really it was mostly common sense scenario questions and paying attention to detail.
Jesse Suarez is it called pelletb? I’m from California and that’s what we got
ACT no I took the NTN test
ACT You can take either NTN or Pelletb, I took both and I find that Pelletb was much easier than the NTN but it really depends on the person. Some people do better with the NTN because of the video scenario questions.
Did they put you in a little for the hearing test?

FIREARMS TESTLAB the questions vary and most departments require candidates to sign off that the will not discuss the questions. The best thing to do is research sample questions because and applicant is not allowed to discuss the questions that were asked. This could lead to them getting disqualified from the process
Is the written portion difficult?
Hey girly I need some help I’m taking the exam tomorrow and idk what to expect is it simple or ?
sorry for the late reply but i hope the exam went well!!
What LC Says aw it’s ok love your channel and I passed my written exam and my physical fitness exam was yesterday and I passed as well !❤️❤️ I have to do my application packet for the background investigation now 😊
6 months?!?! Wow so lucky. I am from NY where it takes anywhere from 6-12 months just for the civil service results/list to be released. If you do not mind me asking, what state do you work in? Currently looking at departments out of state!
Courtney Silberer we have a lot of people that come to our department from NY! (Some actually come down for the training since we get paid while in the academy and do a cpl of years then move back up north lol) Email me and we can talk-my Department is awesome and theyre always looking for talented people!!
@@WhatLCSays Wow thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate it! Would love to send you an email but I can't find one on your page, I did come across your insta account listed on your page though!
is this for the UK
What kind of math did they have on the test? i am horrible at math and i feel like that will ruin me 😭
It’s been 2 years that I honestly can’t remember lol I just remember it wasn’t difficult if that helps!
Hii . I'm Alberto and I want to became a police officer can you help me ?
Gorgeous
I am not Canadian. Can I apply for rcmp
Girrrrllll I just booked my post entrance exam for academy do you have any tips on what I can study or expect ?
congrats!! I have to be honest and say i have no clue what a post entrance exam is lol buuuut i'm assuming it's along the same lines as the test i took (reading comprehension, math, verbal, etc.)
I’ve been having trouble passing mine! 😂
They will test you reading comprehension and your attention to detail just when you do the memory portion look at the pictures carefully I mean look at the smallest details for instance if they ask you to look at a picture look at everything like how many belt loops he has
@@chucktilley7155 thank you so much I test next month 🤞
What kinda of background checks do they do?
Just what we need…more tik tok cops
But this isn’t TikTok…
@@WhatLCSays I’m sorry baby doll do ya thang. Everyone else does but be sure to throw up some videos of you imposing your will on the evil you police.
Quick question would you train some one for the written test ? So sorry to ask not to sound weird
Not weird at all! So I’ve seen people use police exam prep books. I wish I could help someone train to take the written test, I’m just not sure I’m qualified lol
Ok....but can we use calculators on the math part? Cause if not I won’t even bother
ShadyXV nope! No calculators but it’s super simple math, you would do fine!
What LC Says no, you don’t understand. I am mentally incapable of numbers. I better have unlimited time to finish the test
Do you have a college degree? And do you think a degree is worth it? I'm applying for LAPD.
TrippieRobs 25 it’s worth it if you want to rank up more/faster
I agree with Tiony Tione. I have both a bachelors and a master's. A degree is not required for patrol work (in some departments) but it will help you rank up faster and is required if you want to make sgt or above. I can't tell you if it's worth it or not, that's a question only you can answer lol
Any tips for candidates about to take the written test?
About to film a video on that actually!
1.) relax
2.) take a few practice exams (NYPD, New Orleans, etc have practice questions)
3.) get to your testing sight early so you know where you need to go
4.) get solid sleep the night before
Good luck!!
when applying online can i leave certain criteria empty and bring the documents in person later on?
It all has to be filled out to the best of your ability.
Do you have to be a us citizen to apply and how you get the application do you go to a police station and ask for a application?
play69station You do need to be a US citizen to apply. Applications for most (if not all) police departments can be found on their websites.
What kind of questions did you ask?
I asked them what they thought sets this department apart from others in the area. I also asked about the challenges they face as a department. I asked about the qualities and characteristics that set a good police officer from an average police officer.....and one or 2 more.
@@WhatLCSays Wow, these are both excellent and professional questions(like personal development to workforce production)!! Very impressive! Great job!~~
How did u start I been looking into becoming a cop but all departments I try to apply for say u all ready need to be certified but I'm not do u have any pointers for what I should do or do I need to just call the departments recruitment office? Thanks
American White boy XD that means you need to take a civil service exam and if you pass that, you receive an eligibility letter. After the eligibility letter you just wait to become certified. It could take a few years until you get a certification letter. After that, you can express written interest if you're invited to, and from there they'll tell you what you need to do to apply.
I can't speak for others but mine was as simple as applying online and getting a date and time to show up for the written and physical test. No pre-certification needed! A lot of departments in my area and in surrounding counties are like that too. Maybe broaden your search and look at out-of-state opportunities.
Hi, I just wonder which class I have to take at high school to become a cop? Or doesn't matter
Hi! We share the same name! It doesn’t matter what classes you take in HS or college!
@@WhatLCSays 💗💗💗that’s cool 😘😘😘thank you 💗
Now they just ask one question
Are you really sure you want this job?
Yes I’m sure.
Congratulations you’re hired!
When can you start?
Is there a chance they'll find all the jobs you've worked for?
It's important to be truthful on your background packet and answer all the questions truthfully (prior work experience will be one of the questions asked).
@@WhatLCSays I'm in the process for sheriffs detentions the problem is that in 2013 I got fired from one job because I was working slowly
@@bryanquiroga3912 Include that in your packet for reason for leaving and while you're doing your background interview you'll have a chance to explain the circumstances around your firing. Always be truthful!!
@@bryanquiroga3912 Lying is the absolute worse thing you can do. But you should probably have a good excuse why you were working so slowly. Be honest about it. Maybe you didn't like how your boss was treating you? Tell them if they do ask about it.
Which province is this vedio for?like rcmp police,Vancouver or what?if you live in canada 🇨🇦
Hi! I don’t live in Canada. I live/work in the US. Unsure how Canada’s application process is like.
@@WhatLCSays thanks for your reply
What police dept is this
Application process has changed since I made this video. I’d encourage you to research and reach out to a recruiter of a department you’re interested in!
i just saw your video your pretty :)
I didn’t get the best grades in high school I did graduate but nothing impressive but other then that I’m good will this affect me much?
no your grades in high school do not matter as long as you have your diploma.
You just took months of stress off of me !!
They’ll look at your transcript but as long as you have your diploma you’ll be fine! Good luck with the process!
tried LASD and backed out got super weirded out by the everyone lol
Where's LASD? You should try another department then!
What LC Says Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department
This polygraph result waiting time is so stressful. I did mine 2 days ago and waiting for a feedback
TalkWithDP how’d it go?
Alan Garcia I passed the polygraph
Congrats, I have my background interview in a couple weeks. Stupid nervous
What was the questions please
TalkWithDP What questions did they ask you on your polygraph, and were there any moments where you felt like lying or possibly did, but still passed anyway?
Hey I'm jass I'm from Punjab what's academy i join ? I'm confused Dm me academy name or site plzzzzzz
Hi! Start off by figuring out where you want to be and then research departments in that area
I think being a cop should be physically strong and good a fighting not just a honest normal person getting pay lots of money from us being a tax payer.
I AM Q you guys are judging a book by its cover, if she passed the academy then obviously shes is more than capable of doing the job.
Then start doing something to change that instead of just thinking about it.
@@johnpkang I have seen pepper spray, batons, and electrical shock not even phase some folks. If it is just a physical fight most females will be no match.
how do you apply
Find a department you'd like to work for and see if they're hiring! If you're open to relocating, there are a lot of departments across the county that are looking for qualified applicants. Good luck!
Helpful to the wannabes.
How many math questions are there?
Not a lot and they are super simple lol
