Hi Richard, I've got your book. You helped me get into the specials last year. I'm in for the regular police officer application this year. I've got my assessment centre in 2 weeks. I'd just like to thank you for helping me pass the selection process for the specials and hope that you're guidance is enough to pass this year too.
Hi, thanks very much for your kind words, they are very much appreciated :) well done on your success so far and good luck with your assessment. Cheers, Richard
I am currently preparing for the Special Constable assessment. Your tips and instructions are very helpful indeed and they are giving me good insight of what to expect on the assessment day and the structured interview. Thank you so much Richard.
Another great vid Richard. Got my Police Scotland assessment centre on Saturday so going through your videos again. Also have all the HowToBecome books and spoke to you after one of your seminars in November :) This will be the first and only interview and been told it is based on the CVF with emphasis on values rather than just competencies, so probably more questions like "how would you react..." rather than "tell me about a time...". My strategy will to be prepare some examples for both style, and a few each to cover all competencies and values
@@CareerVidz hey Richard, realised it was Dave who did the seminar, but watched all your vids and took loads of notes. It was tough but I managed to pass! So thanks again to both of you, the videos, books and seminar were all invaluable and I'd strongly recommend anyone to do the same as I did to maximise their chances
With the help of your book and TH-cam channel I passed my police interview and assessment..yeaaa. My advise is, learn the core values and have very strong answers. I had these recorded on my phone including my application and listened to them at every opportunity . do your home work and try and get out on patrol with your chosen force. Thank you.
Hi Ricardo, I have created a book to help you pass the West Midlands police selection process here: www.how2become.com/careers/police-officer/ I hope this helps. Cheers, Richard
Hi Craig, I don't have one specific to that, sorry - however, the following one might help you as they are more advanced questions: th-cam.com/video/k5ozg29XsYE/w-d-xo.html - cheers, Richard
Part way through the direct access inspector application , I have also bought the book from yourselves, any videos with advice would be great, do you also do any courses for direct entry?
Hi Richard, what happens after the Day One and Fitness center situations? Is that when you will have a final interview? Thanks for your bodies btw, very useful.
I applied last week and didn’t make it unfortunately. I failed on the ‘behavioural questionnaire’ I don’t really know what I failed on, there were number of statements which I had to rank whether I agreed with them or disagreed. I tried to refer to the core competencies and values frameworks when necessary but it obviously didn’t work. Can anyone give any advice ? Thanks
I just passed that. Answer them in the context of being a police officer. I never picked "disagree" for any question either. No question shared the same agreement level either. Try again mate
This won't be much help, but it's a game. I haven't gone for police officer, but I've done loads of civil service online tests on situation judgement etc, you often need to get past them to even submit an application. Very hard to know what they want, as there are no 'right or wrong' answers and most of them time I wouldn't do exactly what they suggest ie they usually ask you to rank actions in order from 'Very useful' to 'Poor action'. Most of them you might as well toss a coin. As someone else said, just apply again when you get the chance.
@@Clvaner think like a police officer. Remain neutral on the questions that are emotionally based? I wish i screen shotted it now Im applying again in 3 months as covid screwed my plans up

Should you use different examples for the competency interview from your application form. As I fear I used my best examples in my application form P.s thanks for the videos and have found your book very helpful
Hey Andy, no problem and I am pleased you found it useful. Unless they tell you otherwise, I would use the same examples as the ones on your application form. Of course, it would be great if you had more examples, but if you don't, use the ones on your form. All the best, Richard
It's an interesting question. The obvious answer is to give the example you gave on the application form if it got a good score, but the interviewers should not just ask for an example of the competency (but bear in mind that there are plenty of bad interviewers out there). So, take the Civil Service, one competency is 'Delivering at Pace'. Say your example on the form got a really good score (CS ones are out of 7, so say you scored a 6 or 7) if they ask 'Give us an example of when you delivered at pace' I'd be very tempted (but of course wouldn't do it) to just read out my example from the form. However, a good interviewer will have picked out an element of the competency, so the question might be 'Can you give an example of when you delivered a project or piece of work etc to a deadline?'. If your application form example was great, but there wasn't really a deadline to meet, then don't use it. I think people often don't take into account that, although they may have thorougly prepared for an interview, that doesn't mean your interviewers will necessarily be any good. On the other hand, with big national campaigns (police officer, immigration officer, HMRC officer, National Crime Agency etc) then everyone just has to toe the line and ask the same questions of each applicant, to ensure fairness.

Matt you didn’t disagree for any of them? But there are 50 some odd questions in total, and how do you mean no question shared the same agreement ?
@@Clvaner i wouldnt pick strongly agree for two questions in the same section. Remain neutral on the weird ones

Do I have to be a pcso before coming a police officer because my friend was told by police she needs to be a pcso first
Hi, as far as we are aware, you do not have to be PCSO first.
No
