I was interviewed by a pair of typical HR people - Caroline and Beckie who asked me 4 questions each, asking me to provide examples from my experience. Questions like "what software have you used?"; "Have you worked in a team?"; "How have you adjusted your behaviour to be more inclusive for minorities?" The last one threw me, I said that I didn't adjust my behaviour for minorities, I treat everyone the same. What she meant was things like storage of files on shelves when working with a colleague in a wheelchair. I was then able to describe not over-doing the wrapping of a christmas present for a handicaped person. I suppose she was allowing me to think about different treatment of different faiths as well as the disabled.
During question 7 the fire alarm went off. I answered the question, then asked if we should react to it. Beckie went to check and then came back to say that the did normally check the alarm on Monday afternoon but it was still going so we were evacuating.
We trooped out into the yard and then into the car park. I noticed that they evacuated the prisoners from the cells too - into a Police Van and left it in the yard with a guard.
After two minutes we went back in, back up three flights of stairs, and did question eight.

Nice post,
Many people dream of joining the police force in the area they live in. Joining the police force is not the easiest thing in the world. There are strict guidelines that you need to adhere to before you can be recruited. For you to become a police officer, you need to have discipline and dedication to the cause. Even before you go for an interview make sure you are the type of individual who does everything in a disciplined way. The main thing that you should include in your police application is the level of discipline that you have.
When you return your filled application and you are asked to go for an interview, there are some things that you should know that will prepare you for the process. The first thing is the criteria that will be used to determine those who qualify and those who do not. This will help you work on what is needed so that you can proceed to the next level of the interview.
Police Officer
Wow!
Well said Smith. I agree with your words... Thanks for sharing this useful information.
You may be in the point of your life where you need a change of career and no other job will be welcome you more than the police force. There is such an alarming increase in crime rate that the police recruitment is intensifying their call to have more people join them in fighting against crimes. These hard times may have created more criminals thereby increasing crime rate or the police may simply be outnumbered.
