LVMPD Oral

[Helojacob]

What can one expect during the LVMPD oral interview? Such as what type of questions, what does the panel consist of, and how long does the interview last. Can anyone share his or her experiences? I apologize if this topic has been covered in a previous thread.

The questions will generally be chosen from the list they give on their website. The bulk of the questions for me were situational, nothing complicated, just the usual what would you do if (fill in scenario here) type questions.

The panel will normally consist of two officers and a sergeant. Though, as with anything, your mileage may vary.

Expect it to last 15-20 minutes. It's a breeze if you've done any preparation at all. This was my first and only oral board so I have nothing to compare it to, but I can tell you that it was not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. In fact, it wasn't bad at all. I think most people just psyche themselves out over these things.

Hmm, maybe I should compose an Oral Board thread. I cannot be specific and tell what questions they ask but I can offer what not to do, heh. One thing I can tell you is that you may want to be prepared to tell them what you have done to prepare for that position.
