The oral part of the hiring process is not hard. There are six or so questions. Well not questions, but scenarios. They tell you the scenario, give you a minute or so for you to come up with your response, then you tell them what you would do.
I can not stress it enough that in these scenarios you are acting as a PRIVATE CITIZEN, not a law enforcement officer. They don't want to hear that you would confront the person commiting the crime. Just do what any PRIVATE CITIZEN would do. Watch the person, get a good description, and call 911.
Good luck.

You could not have said it any better in regards to the oral process. The only question i have is what answers are they truly looking for? Everyone that belongs to/in Law Enforcement should know not to try and be the "hero", acting as a civilian, but what would be the so called "right answer?" Your honest answer, or the answer that ever law enforcement organization would want to hear from an applicant? Observe, get a good description of the individuals, and call police??????

It is my understanding that no one will get there combined results from the written/oral examinations for approxiamately six weeks! Good Luck to you all!
