Without a doubt, joining the police is a sought-after and rewarding job role. Joining the police requires candidates to undertake and pass a stringent requirement process that includes assessing and matching your values and behaviours to those expected of all police staff.
A behavioural questionnaire is an assessment which is usually taken during the early stages of a selection process. In regards to the role of a police officer, the assessment is used as part of the sifting process, to ensure that only candidates who possess and demonstrate the desired values and qualities pass this stage of the process. The test itself, will ask you a number of questions about behaviours. Your task is to answer honestly whether you agree or disagree with the statement to a sliding scale:
A typical question will be along the lines of:
‘I am a person who feels comfortable with making important decisions.’
Your task is then to decide whether you completely disagree, strongly disagree, somewhat disagree, as per the sliding scale listed above.
HOW TO PASS THE POLICE BEHAVIOURAL STYLES QUESTIONNAIRE
To be successful in this assessment you will need to be able to demonstrate the skills, values and competencies required to become a police officer in your responses.
Do not get fooled when they tell you there are no wrong answers. This is certainly not the case. If you answer statements which do not comply with what is expected of the behaviours of a police officer then you are unlikely to pass the assessment.
What you need to do to pass this assessment is to completely understand the Competencies and Values Framework and be able to demonstrate your knowledge of these in your responses. When answering the questions, you should apply a simple three-step process:
The competencies and values used for the police selection process are the same beliefs and behaviours expected of all those policing. These include the six core competencies:
And the four core values:
Of course, reading and memorising the police Values and Competencies is a completely appropriate method to prepare for the Police selection process.
However, practising answering example questions similar to that used in the actual police behavioural questionnaire may be a better option. If you practise a lot of behavioural questionnaire questions, the values and competencies and how you need to match them with your own will ultimately become second nature. This will come in handy when you undertake your police behavioural questionnaire.
Let’s look at some sample police behavioural styles questionnaire test questions that will help you prepare to pass the police recruitment process.
