AboutMike Martin Expertise I have been a certified Police Officer for 33 years. While I cannot answer legal questions (I am not a lawyer, just a cop) I can answer questions related to proper police procedures and techniques. I cannot answer questions involving employment qualifications. Each department is different. You will need to check with the department where you wish to apply.

Question Hello,
My husband has been trying to get with the police department for the past 3 years. He has filled out several applications and has done several test. He finally made it to the interview process which is scheduled tomorrow. He wants to be prepared for it. What should he expect? What types of questions do they typically ask? Should he ask questions, if so what kinds of questions? She he wear a suit or just a shirt tie and slacks? Should he take a copy of his resume/cover letter since the application mirror his resume already?
Thank you for your advice
Answer I probably can't help much, but he should wear a suit and it wouldn't hurt for him to have a copy of his resume available just in case. As for the questions, it has bee 33 years since I interviewed. I have never been involved in the process so I can't help with that. Just tell him to be honest, if he doesn't know the answer to something they ask, say so.
