There are 2 components to the panel interview, Behaviour Baseed and Competency Based. Expect the interview to last for 45 minutes and it will be scored on a pass/fail system.

At this interview you will be asked asked questions that assess both your ability to communicate, as well as your potential suitability to policing.
If you pass, your mark will be held for 2 years. However if you fail you will have to wait 1 year from your interview date to reapply

This will be a one on one interview with a background investigator. The interview is approximately 3 hours and you will be provided with specific instructions as to what documentation you will need to bring to this interview.

Each applicant is required to take a battery of psychological tests. A psychologist approved by the Police Service will evaluate completed psychological tests, which will assist in determining suitability for employment as a police officer. Results remain the property of the Police Service and will not be disclosed to the applicant.

This stage is only conducted if you are being considered for employment and will include illegal drug use testing.

Applicants are compared to each other rather than to a set standard.
