Thanks for the comment, Scott. Unfortunately, you are correct that most agencies are very short-handled. Some agencies do have the resources, though, and this is just an example of what an assessment center response may sound like. We always recommend tailoring the response to your agency and your resources. This sample was done for a City of Miami police trainee, and the resources are available in Miami. Thanks for watching the video and for your feedback. Chief Freddie.

It takes time and practice, not to mention experience. Thanks for the comment. Chief Freddie

It is a skill set you can learn...

@justmyopinion we train hundreds of people a year to answer just like this without seeing or knowing the scenario until their coaching session starts and more importantly on test day, hundreds of number one scores and promotions. Check out our website and all the positive reviews. We teach you how to do the job and how to perform on the assessment center. There is no magic here, It takes work, practice and a systematic approach like we teach. Invest in yourself--Best of luck to you!

Hello! We also have Police Assessment Center Prep for to Get Promoted for Police Officer positions! www.policeassessmentcenterprep.com/

@Hamza Bronson glad I could help =)

Hey whats your email looking to take the test next year and prepping now.

How can I get in contact with you I am taking a Senior Captain Assessment in two months?

@@ramoncampbell1170 I took the Lt promotional test so Capt may be different, not sure. Written test of course based on the materials they tell you to study from so no tricks there. We had the virtual fire scenario, they first gave us a folder with a map view of the structure, we were able to preview and formulate our tactical strategy prior to going into the virtual room with the proctors. We then had an HR issue scenario, in a room at a desk with all the judges, told me about an older FF female that other FF are giving her a hard time and she is sick of it and wants something done about it, how would you handle it. Then a rapid fire Q n A, they show you a series of vids or still pics and will ask you first what did you see. Answer with what you SAW. then they ask what you would do. Then answer that question. Yours could be totally different though, good luck

I have an assessment for Captain on the 28th. It’s though to talk your way through the incident like this. All of this stuff goes on our head when we’re arriving but rarely do we ever talk it out like this. Def something to get used to. How does your promotional process work in your department?

@@jamesbarnes1847 For the Lieutenant position we had a written exam 100 multiple choice questions, those that passed move on to the assessment portion that has an interpersonal issue, a tactical scenario and then a rapid decision session.

Tough*^ Ours are based on Resumes first and foremost, then the top Candidates receive interviews which involve An Oral Interview, Answer Administrative questions and also a Tactical Scenario(table top). Stressing for sure lol

@@jamesbarnes1847 How did it go? I have a promotional process similar to @fireguy57 at my department. We don't have a test date yet, but one of the Captains is leaving. I'm thinking about purchasing the fire assessment center prep program. Did you use this program, if so what are your thoughts?

Shaun S Hey Shaun, my extensive preparation eased my anxiety and it turned out pretty well. Ended up placing second out of 11 candidates that interviewed. I believe I was the youngest to interview period. This honestly helped me out. I did not purchase the program but I see where doing so could have given me that edge. I devoured my departments SOGs, Processes and anything on KZfaq about IC and the process in which tasks should be completed. I read, studied and also converted most of the study material to an audio recorder app so that I could listen to it in my car during the drive. I just started in my position a few weeks back and just like anything it’s a whole different world and weight on your shoulders riding in the front seat. Let me know if I can help in any way.

I think with this particular interview scenario(most likely a table top) it’s necessary to explain everything you’re doing and prove your knowledge. Just because it took him a bit to get to RIT doesn’t mean it wasn’t set up in a timely manner on scene. I believe that the interview panel is looking for your calm, cool and collectiveness approach to the incident while hitting all “objectives” as you work your way through... I could be completely wrong on that though lol

Thats a good question. I did not test. I train for these exams. When i tested in 1998 and 1999 I scored #1 both times with EB Jacobs testing process. check out my website: www.PoliceAssessmentCenterPrep.com

yes

Thank you.

Our tactical video has samples of all types of tests. The example you are speaking of is a Dynamic Role Play. This is very common with many testing companies, we see this more often with smaller departments due the logistics cost and consistency with role players. You can purchase the class here. facp.litmos.com/self-signup/register/29970?type=1

I’ve heard there are too many inconsistencies with the role play method. For example the answers will differ from the interview depending on what you give them. Hiring officials have found it much more “even” to do a tabletop...just from what I’ve read.

My comment certainly does not have any negative connotations intended, merely an observation. Your videos have been very helpful.

Sorry Vic. it was not initially shot for public use, but so many people asked me to share it that we posted on You tube.

@Ruben Niko Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :)

Look up our pricing on www.FireassessmentCenterPrep.com , It depends on what classes you need. Send me an email at [email protected] We can give you a free consultation when we get more info about your test.
