I applied in-person. I interviewed at Travis County Sheriff (Austin, TX) in Jan 2020
Interview
A five member panel board with high ranking staff and some detectives asking you a series of scenario questions. There is typically a written question that you might need to answer prior to the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You respond to a shots fired call. On arrival you discover that kids are responsible and one flees the scene. You discover that no fun’s are involved and that the kid that left is a son to a high ranking police officer.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Travis County Sheriff (Austin, TX)
Interview
Standard interview. Nothing overly complicated. Integrity is big here. Scenario questions are pretty simple if you know what you’re doing. Expect to have holes poked into your life when something comes up in your background check.
Stressful interview process with five top brass personnel and one human resources personnel. Each one asked 15 million questions each and cut me off before I had the chance to respond properly
