Interview: Next the Police Oral Board! Police oral boards are one of the most nerve-racking things you will do. Most people are very nervous when they walk in the door of the room and see the police oral board panel sitting there. You are before a live audience and it is time to perform at your best!
What is an oral police board? It is a live panel made up of 3-5 people, that ask applicants a series of questions. You usually are seated in a room across a table from these people, they ask you questions in turn and then listen to, take notes on, and score your answers to the questions. They further compare these answers with the required passing score and against other applicants. In some agencies, you can be removed from the application process for not passing the police oral board.
