What must I cover?

There are three aspects you must cover during your presentation:

  • Why you’ll make a fantastic police officer
  • Why you want to join that particular police service’s team
  • Convince the interview panel that you have the correct attitude, behaviours, motivation and values to become a police officer in that constabulary

How long do I have?

  • Candidates get 10 minutes to present
  • There will be up to 10 minutes of questions & answers after your presentation

It is likely the interview panel will probe points you make, so be well prepared!

Key points

  • Demonstrate you have a good understanding of the police service’s values (use the core competencies)
  • There will be no extra time on the day to prepare for the presentation
  • You may bring notes or printed handouts but no laptops, projectors etc. can be used
