Police Recruitment - ‘Boom or Bust!'10 Nov 202100:19:58

The Government have just released their most recent data outlining the progress of the 20,000 Uplift to police numbers (I know, they are not ‘extra’ officers!!).

The 20,000 target has to be hit by March 2023, but for many forces,
they are already planning intakes for that period.

While the past few years has seen a boom in police recruitment, my
prediction for the near future is how the service is about to go bust!

Here’s the NEW Police Competency And Values Framework!!27 Sep 202100:17:08

Here’s the NEW Police Competency And Values Framework!!

I’ve been busy this week with two visits to London, on Tuesday to
meet with Leanne, the Head of Diversity and Inclusion for the Met Police, and
on Wednesday, spending a shift with the Met Police Violent Crime Task Force.

While discussing recruitment issues with Leanne about what is working
well and what isn’t, I was asked the question, ‘what values would you assess candidates against?’

Good question and at the time I didn’t have an answer.

However, the next day I spent a shift with the Met Police
Violent Crime Task Force, where I witnessed values in action.

And so, following this experience, my own reflections on
the meaning of values, as well as the thoughts of a small group of clients, I
put together the new 7 Values for police officers to aspire to.

What do you think? Let me know!

Police Recruitment Interviews - Forget STAR, here’s SAARLKU!23 Aug 202100:23:30

Are you confused about what structure you should use for Competency and Values type questions at your Police Recruitment Interviews?

Look up how to answer them online and every webpage out there will
tell you to use the STAR method. 

The thing is, as an answer model, it’s just not structured or
detailed enough. And it’s confusing - what is the difference between Task and
Action? One is what you intended to do and one is what you did? Eh?

Listen in to this chapter from my new book ‘How to Succeed in the
Police Recruitment Process, even if you have no idea where to start with your
preparation,’ where I explain the SAARLKU model, an alternative to STAR, which
has helped over 10,000 clients over the past decade to succeed.

How to answer ‘Forward Facing’ Questions in your Police Promotion or Recruitment Interview 28 Jun 202100:20:34

In today’s podcast there’s something in it for those in the Police Recruitment process and for Serving Police Officers.

More than several forces have recently started to ask interview
questions that begin with, ‘How would you deal with…..? as opposed to, ‘Can you
tell me about a time when….? (a rear facing question?)

So many of you have been asking me for a method you can use
consistently to answer these questions. 

In this podcast I describe how you can use the same method for
both forward and rear facing questions.

Are the police getting too ‘woke?' And should they expect to be arresting people?18 Jun 202100:27:07

In today’s podcast there’s something in it for those in the Police Recruitment process and for Serving Police Officers.

Has the new Chief Constable of GMP gone too far in his criticism of

burglars?

Will we see the return of target based policing? Back to ‘juking the
stats’ and ‘cuffing’ crimes?

Also - should new recruits expect to be arresting people as part of
their role? You’ll be surprised!

expecting to make arrests, but that of Leadership around building stronger and
more cohesive communities.
