The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Allen Police Department (Texas) (Allen, TX) in Oct 2010
Interview
Typical police hiring process for Texas....but Allen is a smaller agency, so the time was a bit surprising. Process took a bit over 60 days for final offer (by that time I had been offered another position). It consisted of:
Written Test/Physical Fitness Test-Full Day
Personality Test- 2 hours
Full Background Investigation-about 30 days
Drug Test-1 hour
Panel Interview-1 hour
Offered a position about 2 days after the panel interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You're off duty....see a male and female arguing. What would you do?
