The contents of this book are designed specifically for law enforcement officers, front-line supervisors, and managers who have reached the point in their careers where they are ready to advance their rank. The focus of this information is on the police promotional oral interview.

An officer’s performance during the oral interview is paramount because the process is highly competitive. Officers must “out-score” others also vying for promotion.

The goal of this book is to provide professional law enforcement officers with a highly effective and valuable preparatory edge. This “edge” translates into real-world techniques, easy-to-apply skills, and a wealth of information on how to be distinctive and perform in an exceptional manner during the oral interview. The police officer, deputy, supervisor, or manager who utilizes the content of this unique book correctly can stand out among the other candidates, be more competitive, achieve preparatory confidence, and up their performance toward higher interview scores.
