I had my interview yesterday and I passed. I was told that I received the highest score the Lieutenant has given in his entire career. I was prepared and calm. I followed all your tips in this video. Thanks for setting me up for success. I appreciate this video.

Just passed my oral board wanted to pass along helpful Information because I needed it when I was preparing. #1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to work for this department. That starts the interview off, have something short but effective to say here. A few other situational questions involving stress, integrity, deadly force. It is nerve wrecking sitting across from 3 high ranking officers but if you have any life experience use it to your advantage and make it fit the questions.

Just passed mine today. They were very impressed. Just like you stated.... 1. Tell us about yourself? 2. What motivates your day to day routine? 3. What are your strengths and weaknesses? 4. Where do you see yourself within this organization? 5. What made you choose this Sheriffs office? 6. Are you prepared to take a military-style Police boot camp? They will be yelling and screaming at you and you may get punished for others doing something wrong. 7. What is the biggest obstacle in your life and how did you overcome it. 8. What 1 person from all your jobs do you consider the best leader you have had and why. 9. Explain your work ethic. 10.Why should we chose you? 11. Is there anything you would like to add to the table. My panel was in front of 7 High ranked Sheriff Deputies and 2 HR personnel. The key is to be confident with all your answers and show off the real you!

NEEDED THIS! Thank you! 😊

No words to describe this awesome video! Thank you so much.

Wow man!! Another hit video!! I’m going on one soon… I really appreciate this!!!

Just pass my oral board today. Thank you so much for your tips and advice 🙌🏾

Also you’re correct about the swivel chair and thank you for that advice lol! In all your video was really well put, just wished I had these questions but didn’t.

Solid advice from a LEO veteran. Thank you sir.

Awesome. Thanks so much 👍🏼

What a cool video. Wish there was videos like this in 04' when I was going through it. Back then, this information was only word of mouth.

Just passed my oral board, even while getting dressed for it, I had this playing again in the background. Thank you so much!

I just passed my today ! Thank you so much ! I was really nervous but got very comfortable when I actually talking and being honest and truthful about it!

Just passed my interview and oral board today! I start academy in July. You helped me so much. Thank you for this video!

This was so helpful, thank you so much doing this video.

Thank you for the video, this has helped me out a lot and have an oral board interview today.

Hi thank you so much! This video was extremely informative and very helpful it honestly just put my mind at ease! I recently passed my oral board interview!!! 😊

Thank you so much for your tips and advice! You were one of the few UKpostsrs who I watched throughout my police hiring process. Much love!

Just passed! Thanks for the tips.

Thank you! Very helpful for my upcoming interview in LE from Belgium. Cheers.

Thank you for this video, I have my interview tomorrow this helped me a lot

Thanks man! I passed the oral interview! I was asked exactly what you said in the video! Thanks my friend!

Starting my journey and hopefully joining the Sheriff deputy Department. With this information and studying I know I’m going to make it thanks for what you do keep it up 👍🏼

Just ran across this video im gonna study this video til my oral board interview for my local county to join their certified COs since im already certified through the state hopefully that helps and i pass the interview!!

Great video Officer! God bless you, and may God protect you and all Police Officers out there! Peace and Blessings to you..

Looking sharp my man!

I have mine Tuesday at 10:00 am. I’m really nervous, and I’ve studied YT videos over and over. I tend to overthink the outcomes, and then after it’s done I realize it wasn’t so bad

Thanks for all the great info. I have my oral board in the morning and I been nervous all week lol.

I enjoyed the strengths and weaknesses answer. Probably the best one I’ve heard so far. Last one I heard was saying you’re always trying to catch up to the newest methods of crime prevention (cyber security and you’re taking classes) but that feels like a flat out lie.

This video has not only calmed my nerves but also made me extremely excited for my interview, feeling more prepared Cheers from Australia.😁

I winged it. Passed. For my process, The board was awesome they asked good questions and follow up questions.

Thoes are some really good tips, thank you my friend, my interview is the 10th of January, I’m going to crush this interview for sure! 💪🏼

Man this video was golden

Just passed mine 2 days ago. Thanks to this video

Great video!

Thanks brother

Got my final LT interview in 2 weeks!

I have my oral board interview on Tuesday! Thank you for the video , I will let you know how it went !

I have my oral board tomorrow with my potential chain of command, this video helped ease my nerves a lot. Thank you 🙏🏾

I have my Oral Board on Monday. Thank you for this helpful information.

I have my interview today and I’m really nervous but I’m watching this video is helping me going into the interview with knowledge of what to expect.

Have mine Tuesday at 2 pm. You are a great help!

Going to do my interview on VALENTINE'S DAY!!! Thank you for the tips!

I just came back from my Oral Board. I did lots of studying and note taking from others and especially, from you sir! I want to thank you for creating this helpful video. I rehearsed and left the 3 panel officers with a smile plus, we will be in touch soon, after being escorted out the to the doorway. Tell us a little about yourself? This question is the ice breaker to get to know you and set the tone. Weakness, Strengths you are going to get them both. Personal questions are relatively first off, to get to know you. Next the scenario-based questions, or dynamic questions. Study for these, for the most part and get info over the agency you've applied to. Other than that keep calm make them answers short and sweet. Good luck ya'll .

This is GOLDEN. I have an interview with my city’s Sheriff Department for corrections officer next week and really nervous. Now that I have a blueprint, I feel better!! I’ll try to update soon!

I have my oral board interview this Friday at 8:30 I have never been so nervous before. Thank you so much for your video it has help me fell more prepared for it.

I have my oral board. Tomorrow at 1:50 pm. I’m 21 and only experience I have is serving in the army national guard since I was 17. I know that’s not law enforcement. but I feel like I can relate some of these stress questions with that experience. Great video btw I appreciate it. Just like to add its virtual as well.

I just want you to know, I just got hired with an academy date! Thank you for all your advice!

I passed my Oral Board and now onto the poly and Background check. This video definitely helped me prepare for my interview, Thank you!

Watching this after feeling like I tanked my interview 😢 never been nervous about an interview until this one 🤦🏻‍♂️

Very helpful, I had my written psych Tuesday and my oral psych next Tuesday! On the written exam I remember a question regarding “if you’re bored do you find yourself finding things to do to be excited” or somewhere along the lines and I said true which it is, so that part where I want a career of excitement will work well for me as that is consistent with what I put on the test

Thank you for this video. This helped me put my mind way more at ease with my upcoming interview.

1 very good reason I could give to be chosen over the other candidates is that I am bluebelt in Brazilian jiujitsu and I am committed to earning blackbelt.

I'm a 20 yr leo and training officer/FTO and came across your video, very well done, my only critique is to add a something about the dreaded "Tell me about a negative situation, you were in and how you dealt with that." questions. I've seen many promising applicants hurt themselves with this question, and it's a very common question in agencies in VA,

awesome video. At the age of 23 I took an oral board interview and messed up big time very nervous.

I passed my interview because of this video and doing my research

Thanks for this video, i go to my oral boards on Wednesday for CPD, and i was nervous. After writing down your questions and coming up with my own answers, i feel confident i will pass and be offered a conditional job.

Passed mine the other day. Was super nervous and they called me out on it. It's odd for the sheriff to tell you to relax a bit and start cracking jokes. After I finally realed a bit I get them to laughing and it went smooth from there. I have a PT test this week and if I pass that I go to academy in May. Pushups kill me but I have to get through it.

I have a zoom panel interview tomorrow and I’m struggling about shaving my beard right now. Planned on trimming it low but then watched this video. lol

good tips man thanks heaps your a legend

another great advice is, if you ever get turn down for the law enforcement job. just start your own police department... just ask drummy.

Thanks! Only 15 tho, so won’t need this for a few years 🙃

I would absolutely write my mom a ticket.

I'm really nervous. I have an interview next week Wednesdays and not sure what kinds of questions they may want. They did give a generalized idea of what questions they maybe going to be asking. Luckily, I have military background, but not sure how far that will go for them to want to pick me.

Is there any way to prepare for the scenario based part? I struggled with this as I wasn't sure how to answer in my first law enforcement interview a few months ago. I have a second one coming up soon and just trying to better prepare.

I have my interview tomorrow I hope that everything goes well

Awesome video, thank you! I have a question about tattoos. I know that many departments (nowadays) are more lenient with tattoos. However, I still want to cover my hand tattoo up with dress gloves. Should I mention it and say that I’m prepared to always cover it up, be it with gloves or make-up or should I just let it be? Thank you! PS. The hand tattoo is a dope looking Pixiu of my days as a Muay Thai fighter ^^.

Thank you so much! I have my oral board interview on the 28th, and I am practicing with my gf. I will let you know if I pass or fail when I get my results. Wish me the best!

Passed my oral board because of this vid

Question, if they don’t choose you and you reapply or how does it work?

I have my oral interview coming up on Friday. I am extremely nervous. I can’t stress enough how glad I am that I found this video. This is exactly the kinda of info I needed to be a bit more confident. Thank you!

Like the verbal judo book in the back. They tried pushing that on us in the NYPD. That curriculum didn’t last long

Beware some agencies (like mine) didn’t ask ANY of these, not one came up. Practiced for 2 weeks with what should’ve been the regular questions and was completely taken off guard. Couldn’t even explain about who I am or why I want to go this route. Just be prepared that ANYTHING could come up.

😂 as a mom, I wouldn’t speed in the first place

What are things to do when turned down by agencies for prior drug use? They didn’t say that was the reason for not moving me forward but I’m assuming that’s why. It’s been 10 years since last usage. During that time I’ve turned my life around, joined the Air Force, did a contract and now doing an ART position in reserves. I just wonder why honesty isn’t always best with some departments. Great videos I just watched your whole series!

Super helpful video. Thank you so much! On the shaving thing, I am 20, about to turn 21. I currently have a beard. I will admit it is not the greatest but it is neatly trimmed and makes me look more mature. When I shave I look like I am 12... Still shave?

Passed the polygraph earlier this week and I have my board interview tomorrow. Kind of nervous but if they push me through then I only have the background check left.

Got mine Wednesday i will let yall know how it goes

About 3-4 years ago I applied for a police department after getting out of the army and I passed the PT test , written test , but failed the oral interview panel . They never told me why but I seem to have made lots of mistakes and I believe I was unsure of myself and obviously nervous . I’ve been working in corrections the last 4 years but am seriously considering chasing this dream still as I kinda gave up as soon as I failed and am unhappy with my job now .

i watched so many videos and studied so many questions. none, absolutely none of these questions were on the interview! 😂😂😂 i just did the interview today.

Question! Great video by the way! So if I were to say “ yes “ to writing a family member a ticket makes me look bad? The answer I planned on answering with would be “ yes “

This video helped me tremendously! I did my oral interview two weeks ago tomorrow, and I still haven’t heard back :( did anyone wait this long? I’m getting discouraged:/

Just got called for an interview next week, i’m hoping it all goes well

I would definitely write my mother a ticket. My job is to uphold the law not play favorites 😂

Hey man thanks for the tips. I have one question, can you fail the oral boards if you weren’t able to answer one of the 12 questions?

My next one is my background investigation is this week

Do you got a video for current officers changing departments?

I had my Oral board interview today and I feel horrible after leaving it. None of the questions I had prepared for were asked. I was truthful about a time a tried a drug over 10 years ago when I was super young when they asked about drugs and they said “why didn’t you list that drug on your application” I didn’t think I had to because I was like 16 years old, I was young and dumb and peer pressured. I feel super discouraged.

Could you please elaborate on why the answer is always no regarding writing mum a ticket even if she was excessively speeding? Thanks

Just had my oral interview Let’s hope they call me 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Just took my polygraph and oral board! Waiting to see what the verdict is.

I passed my oral board today, do they always try to make you as uncomfortable as possible or was that just mine? Haha. Great video!

One question but if they asked you , if you'll ever write your mom a ticket what if they asked you why wouldn't you what would be the right answer to tell them ??

That question about the mother always bothered me lol

Hello, why is the anser for if you would give your mom a ticket a no?????

I have a "informal" interview and to be honest cant find anything to expect, the oral board is down the road and the set dress code is suit and tie, but I think the informal interview a sport coat, dress shirt, tie and khaki will be fine, please help

Why wouldn't I write mom a ticket? Doesn't that show favoritism? To me that gives reason to believe that I will compromise my integrity. Serious question because my parents have raised me to apply the rules equally.

Great stuff, but one note. Absolutely do not try to make your weaknesses a positive. DO NOT say you're a perfectionist. They see right through that bullcrap. Come up with a weakness that is a true weakness that can be overcome. For example, if you live in an area with a lot of Spanish speakers, say that you lack that language skill but you wish to improve it.

Great video, one question for now: Why would I not write my mother a ticket if she was being a hazard to herself and the community that I have given an oath to protect? My initial response was yes, I would write my mother a ticket if she was going 80 mph in a 25 mph speed zone. I would think that’s a school or work zone and that’s insanely dangerous, right? Mind you my mother is about 80 years of age and not a speedster, but poor eyesight, so super dangerous for her to speed. So please help me understand the reasoning by the “no” to giving her a ticket. Also, isn’t that a felony?

My mom? I would give her a warning to be sure I did do something fair.
