Quiz Answers: Can You Get Past the Board?

Good Stuff right out of the interviews, do this and you will do much better

This is so exciting! I only scored an 80.So I think I'll try again until I'm a 100%. Thank You.

Great test. This really helps me to expect what I'm going to be asked and now I will prepare for the real Q & A and hopefully I will peruse my most wanted career of being a police officer in New York City A.K.A. The Big Apple.

I like how he explains what the bad answers mean when said like that. Might not be the exact way you might say but it will lead you in the right direction for answering

very good quiz as well,I did ok and passed and now knowing the correct way of how to answer them ,missed some questions..not bad,but not good either..I understand the reasoning and now I have a better idea of what's to be asked..good thought for the brain..

This was really interesting, I can really see how the board would ask such questions.

Thanks for tips...

Coming in at the 80% - 100% so not too bad. The test is a good warm-up for the real deal. I tend to use these quizzes to prepare me for Security job interviews since many of their scenarios tend to run along the same lines. Some of the answers though I would have combined actions with, like the store & apple, hey...put it back or pay for it...why wasn't that included? Some of these answers do not address the political correctness that we would learn from our depts. I hardly think anyone would realistically do a number of these straight no bendable answers given for us to choose from, without thinking of the ramifications of those actions. In the real world, the police chief's wife would def. be something I would want my superior to be backing me up on, but what about when your superior isn't available to show up...you would do whatever your dept. policy said you should do, you'd call for backup anyway/female officer if you were a male to transport right?
I guess you shouldn't over think the Q's, but use your common sense. I do agree that some of our weaknesses in the regular job fields are just that, but in LE they could be plusses. When I first got into the Security field, I thought for sure that I had hung myself when some of these Q's came up, but later found that what I thought was a sure noose around my neck, ended up being what Security was looking for. Everyone has weaknesses & strengths...its why working well with the public and each other can either mesh well or be a disaster. The idea of the board is to potentially not hire a "problem" person in the beginning if possible. Would like to see more PL quizzes like this one.
