Entry-Level Oral Board and Interview Prep 2020-02-25T22:21:51-05:00

Oral Board and Interview Preparation
Entry-Level Candidates

For information regarding available, personal Oral Board and Interview preparation services, please complete and submit the form below. Only those candidates who complete the below form will be considered for oral board and interview preparation with Chief Troy E. Oswald, M.A. (Ret.).

Anyone currently serving as a law enforcement officer knows the anxiety generated by the oral board and interview process when competing for an entry-level position and how important the interview is in being selected. Once the written test is completed and a high score is achieved, candidates then must prove themselves through oral boards and/or interviews which ultimately carry more weight than the written test. While a high exam score gets the candidate to the interview, it is the interview that is ultimately the deciding factor.

In addition to preparing students for the cognitive component of entry-level law enforcement exams, Chief E.  Oswald specializes in conducting interview preparation for candidates as they advance in the selection process. For more than 20 years, Chief Oswald has been conducting oral board preparation for candidates ranging from entry-level all of the way through to Chief of Police. His research and proven techniques have made the difference with candidates achieving perfect scores in very competitive scored oral board processes.   favicon
