And in this tutorial, I'm going to help you to pass your police officer interview by focussing

on answers that are relevant to the interview questions based around the competency of PUBLIC

SERVICE. Now, this video forms part of a FOUR VIDEO SERIES and the remaining three videos

on YouTube can be found in the description below this video. I have placed the links

to the other videos in there for you. Please do make sure you watch this and then check

out the other three videos, because they will certainly help you to pass the police officer

selection process interview! Now, there are four typical police officer competencies and

values that are: INTEGRITY, which I've covered in another video, PUBLIC SERVICE, which is

going to be covered in this one, IMPARTIALITY and also TRANSPARENCY. I cannot stress enough

how important it is to make sure that, in your preparation for the police officer selection

process, you demonstrate your ability to meet the requirements of each competency in everything

you do! So, if we look at the competency of public service, this competency is linked

to the values of respect and selflessness. All police officers must act in the best interests

of the community they are serving. And as a police officer, you will be required to

always work towards the best possible outcomes for society and carry out your duties responsibly

and professionally at all times, which is what we would expect police officers to do

as members of society. You will need to work in the best interests of the public and provide

outstanding service in everything you do, both by working with other police colleagues

and also with wider organisational stakeholders, such as the fire service, the local authority,

the ambulance service, etc. So let's now take a look at a number of example. Police officer

interview questions that are focussed on the core competency of public service. I will

give you a number of sample interview questions that I recommend you prepare for. I will give

you an answer for one of the questions, and I will tell you where you can download the

remainder of them. So the first question we want to look at is: Tell me about a time when

you considered how someone else wanted to be treated whilst interacting with them? This

is a challenging interview question to answer. Tell me about a time when you considered how

someone else wanted to be treated whilst interacting with them? Here is my sample answer for you.

“I was working in an office in a previous role and a new member of the team joined who

was from a different background to myself. My supervisor asked me to show her around

the office and also teach her the requirements of the role for the first 14 days of her employment.

Her English was excellent. So I started off asking her if there was anything I needed

to consider whilst communicating with her, and also whether or not she had any specific

needs. She informed me she was dyslexic and that she would need more time to learn everything

I was showing her during that 14 day period. I immediately took this into account and I

reassured her I would not only take my time when explaining everything, but that she should

tell me if I was going too fast or if she needed me to explain anything else in a clearer

manner. This approach worked really well, and at the end of the 14 day period, my colleague

knew exactly what she needed to do, and I also reassured her that I was there to support

her in her role moving forward.” So, that's a really good answer! It uses the process

of situation, task action result, the STAR technique, and that is a great way to structure

your answers to the competency police officer interview questions. Let's take a look at

a few more and then I'll tell you where you can download the full set. When have you worked

as part of a team to complete a difficult task? That forms part of public service. Describe

a time when you treated someone fairly, regardless of their situation or their circumstances?

Explain a time when you gave credit to someone in a team situation? Explain a situation you

are in where you tailored your style of communication to be respectful to others? Tell me about

a time when you had to adapt your style of communication to get your message across?

When have you worked as part of a team to complete a difficult task? Describe a time

when you provided excellent service? If you want to download the answers to all of those

questions and my full set of four competency interview questions and answers: transparency,
