I wanted to talk to you about police requirements. A lot of people don't really understand what they need to posses to become an officer. There are a lot of rules and regulations that govern the professional of an officer and you have to meet them all because you're a servant of the public. You're going to be given an exam that you're going to have to not only pass, but literally ace if you expect to get a job. The exam is designed to be harder and much different than what you would have had in high school. I'm going to help you meet this particular police requirement by informing you about what it is like.

The fact is that this isn't really like an exam you would have had in school. In school, a teacher would have been measuring your aptitude, which could quite literally be your ability to memorize useless information. A good police officer isn't measured by their memorization abilities, but how they do the job. This means all the questions are going to be situational and ask you what you do. How would you question a victim of a crime? How do you approach a person acting crazy? These are things that you'll be asked.

Since the exam is part of the police requirements, you have to get a good mark to move onto the interview process. The good news is that the interview is much easier when you score high on the exam. I think you should definitely spend more time than you need to study. I've never met a person that regretted over studying and getting a great mark.
