    Don’t change your answer! One of the captains asked me about my FTO stealing a candy bar and if I would report him and I said “yes he is supposed to be teaching me the correct way and if he’s doing that, what else is he doing?” And he raised his voice and said SO YOULL RUIN THIS GUYS CAREER OVER A CANDY BAR!? And I said sir we are held to a higher standard and right is right and wrong is wrong and then he smiled and said “thank you”. Stick to your answers. The hardest part is the waiting to find out if you passed after the fact not the actual interview.

    This is clearly an attempt to invite ego stroking. You obviously have self-esteem issues and you need to seek therapy. Being a compulsive liar in the KZread section of police videos is not making you appear like a good candidate. This story is clearly fabricated, and you need to stop

    One glaring flaw “I want everyone to come through that door to succeed” = There’s a limited amount of vacancies. Meaning, someone’s tie is better… someone who’s voiced cracked once or didn’t give someone a dirty look = Doesn’t proceed, good luck next year because you’re definitely not moving on. Sad Truth is, some people make GREAT First impressions… then the more you know them, see how they really work and end up being a mistake = Generally how Psychopaths get ahead in lifeS While most of us make bad first impressions… only to develop a greater impression over time. Meaning interview process is shallow and details can easily be missed. There’s a reason why corruption is so high in Policing.

    I would not say they are all corrupt, but acknowledging the applicants can be really excited and nervous and then deferring them because of giving an answer/answers thats not in the way expected ( because of being excited and nervous) is nonsense.... also honesty and integrity are big time in policing but they are NOT always giving you the reason when you are deferred or terminated.... what happened to integrity and honesty??? oooops lol
