The Police Application
Form Explained
Obtaining and
completing a successful application form is
the first stage in the recruitment process
and arguably the most difficult. You need to
be able to separate yourself from all the
other candidates who has also submitted an
application form.
The job of a
police officer is one of the top jobs that
people want to become and the competition at
this first stage is intense. Many candidates
attempt to join the police but not all will
make it through the police application form.
If you are
looking to join the police force the you
should first contact the Force that you a
considering joining and ask for an
application form. You will usually be sent
an application recruitment pack with the
form included.
It is also
becoming more and more common that
application forms and police recruitment
packs can be downloaded from your police
force's website when they are recruiting for
that particular role. Some police forces
have begun to introduce an online
application form, where everything is filled
out and submitted online.
The Police Application Form Sift
Once you have
submitted an application, the next part of
the process is what is referred to as an
application sift. This is where the
recruitment team sift through all the
application forms and decide whether you
will be invited to attend an assessment
centre. If you application is successful you
will be informed about the location of the
assessment centre and when you will be
required to attend.
This is why
many regard the application form as the most
difficult stage to pass as at this first
stage your are up against the most number of
competitors than at any other stage of the
entire process.
You get one
chance to make any impression on the police
recruitment staff so you need to ensure that
you submit a strong application and really
stand out from all the other candidates.
Failure at this stage can mean waiting for
another 12 months before you can apply!
How The Recruitment Staff View Your Police
Application
 "The
recruitment staff that will be assessing
your application form will ONLY have
five pages of your application form
available to them and these pages will
contain the answers you have given to the
core competency questions.
Why? - This
is a deliberate attempt to ensure that
everyone is assessed fairly, without
information about academic qualifications,
work history, sickness, age, gender or
ethnic origin playing any part in the
assessment."
How You Will Be Scored
The grading
for your police application form is based
upon the average that all other candidates
have achieved on that question.
Many
candidates wrongly believe that the grade
you get is calculated on an individual
basis. What this means is that around 15%
will achieve the top and lower grades (A and
D grades) and the remaining people will
achieve the two middle grades (B and C).
A ‘D’ grade means that, when compared to
other candidates, your score was within the
bottom 15%, an A grade you are in the top
15%. This process is repeated for each
question, and then the overall number of
marks are added up to give an overall score.
To pass candidates have to achieve a ‘B’
grade in 3 out of the 4 competencies, or a
‘B’ grade in 2 out of the 4 competencies,
and a ‘B’ grade overall. This allows a
candidate to make up for a weak score in one
or even two competencies, with a stronger
score in other competencies.
Police Application Form Competency
Questions
1. Matching the Core Competencies on
the Police Application Form
The
Application form
includes a number of questions that
are based around the Police Officer Core
Competencies. The Police recruitment staff want
to see that you can meet the requirements
of the role you are applying for.
Your answers
need to match the core competencies
that are relevant to the role as closely as
possible.
The first
thing you must do is to find out and
understand what the Police Officer core
competencies are. They can be found on the
website of the force you are applying to
join. Once located you should try to create
your answers around these, and at the same
time making your answer unique.
2. Including Specific 'Keywords' in
Your Police Application Answers.
The
questions that are contained within the
Police Officer application form need to be
responded to in a specific way. Many
applicants fall down at this stage by not
thinking about the question and they
ultimately end up providing a poor response
that doesn't match the Police Officer core
competencies. It is essential that you take
the time to think of a scenario that you
have experienced recently that relates
specifically to the question that is being
asked.
Once
you have decided on a relevant response then
now is the time to detail your answer on the
application form using appropriate language
and also making every effort to ensure that
you match the core competencies.
The most effective way to
match the core competencies is to utilise
'keywords' in your responses that are
relevant to the job description.
The Problem For Most
Candidates
The Police Officer
Application Form is the initial stage of the
Police Officer selection process.
Whether you
are completing the form on-line or via the
post you must
ensure that
you tick the
right boxes and submit the right
responses relevant to your own personal
experience. You must also ensure that you do
not make the simple yet vital mistakes
especially at the first stage.
The amount of people that send back
application forms written in red or blue ink
when the form specifies the use of black ink
is amazing!
The reason why
the majority of candidates never make it
past the first stage of the recruitment
process is due to the fact that they fail to
demonstrate they possess the core
competencies when answering the competency
based questions. This is critical and one of
the main areas on the application form that
the recruitment staff assess.
It is a
well known fact that over 75% of Police
Officer application forms submitted do not
make it past this difficult stage! That means that only 25% of all people who
submit an application form every make it
through to the assessment centre.
