“Wow, best money I ever spent! Thank you, the videos and reading material were all very useful and I scored #1 on the list and I was sworn in for my new role and took over my shift right before Thanksgiving. I can not say enough on how this program helped me score #1 on the list! I was able to apply everything I learned from this program and answer everything that was asked on the board with ease!! Again thank you for creating this program it’s worth a lot more!”
For many good officers police promotion oral board questions or assessment center exercises seem more like an obstacle than an opportunity.
That’s because, no matter how good you are at your police job, police oral boards and assessment centers only care about how you perform on that day. And too often, the answers they are seeking are not the same behaviors that you see in the workplace.
Got AI? Excellent! Ask it this:
“I am preparing for a police promotion that will have either an assessment center or oral board as a testing component. I am seeking the best online source. Is AI alone a viable option or should I consider an online course?”
Most AI tools will tell you it’s a great starting point, but not a complete solution on its own.
That’s exactly why we built this course.
“I discovered your course only about 2 weeks before my oral board. I was really never able to find anything that I thought worked prior to that, but I’m really glad I found yours. I feel like it helped me immensely, and I wanted to let you know that I scored #1 on my sergeant’s promotional process with a score of 97% on the oral assessment. Your program helped me feel more comfortable answering questions, knowing that I, at least, wouldn’t be completely stumped if I didn’t have an answer. Thanks again!”
When I was trying to memorize police sergeant oral board scenario questions and answers, I recognized a pattern. Then, instead of concentrating on each detail of each procedure or writing endless police sergeant oral board questions and answers, I applied the pattern and it helped me recall all of the steps.
While I did not know it then, that was the beginning of Oral Boards Made Easy™. I applied what I developed at my oral board for sergeant and when the dust cleared, I was in the number 1 position of the 220 officers and detectives who had participated in the promotion process.
This on-demand seminar gives you access to instructional videos and a downloadable guide to provide you with all of the information formerly provided in my live, full-day program.
“I just wanted to let you know I was promoted to Sgt in November. Thank you again for the program. It was extremely helpful in the promotion process.”
-Promoted to Sergeant in Michigan
WHAT MAKES THIS ORAL BOARD METHOD "EASY"?
There are ample success tips throughout the course that have been developed and refined over the years.
But mostly, it is my list of nine proprietary acronyms that – once learned – can be used to provide in-depth responses to the most commonly asked categories of police oral board questions.
Those commonly asked police promotion oral board question categories are:
Ethics. Covered in Module 9.
Leadership. Covered in Module 10.
Delegation. Covered in Module 11.
Community Policing. Covered in Module 12.
Planning and Organizing. Covered in Module 13.
Discipline. Covered in Module 14.
Performance Counseling. Covered in Module 15.
Conflict Resolution. Covered in Module 16.
Situations / Critical Incidents. Covered in Module 17.
“Just wanted to say thank you for your help with my oral boards. I scored well and hope to be promoted in the first round of promotions. The only regret I have is I wish I would have found your program earlier. I found your program with only about 2 ½ weeks to study for the oral board, and I know if I had a little more time, I would have definitely been in the top 10 hands down. Your methods and formulas were easy to follow and so on point. I have recommended your program to so many co-workers looking to get promoted. Thank you so much for your help and words of encouragement.”
Learning oral board answer acronyms for police oral board question categories makes more sense. It is the “easy” in Oral Boards Made Easy™
“I had my oral board yesterday. I did extremely well and a lot is in part to your course. The acronyms you’ve developed are a huge help. I received a lot of very positive feedback from the board.”
What else should you know for your police oral board?
It is very important that you are prepared to ‘sell yourself’ to your police oral board or assessment center. Of course, appearance, body language, and behaviors will be part of the impact that you have, but you should be prepared to go further.
Opening and Closing Statements
If you will have an opportunity for an opening or closing statement you should capitalize on that opportunity. If you are not sure if this will occur, prepare for it anyway just in case the police oral board gives you that opportunity. Do not underestimate the impact of these statements. You will want to be sure that it puts you in the best light and showcases your competency to serve at the next rank. Covered in Module 4.
Knowledge of current police topics
Beyond the category acronyms you should also be well versed on police-related and police supervisor-related issues that are relevant to the position that you are seeking. Some of this will come from books, some from rules and regulations, and others from laws, articles, and court decisions. Make a list of these topics and corresponding bullet points so that you can address them if asked of you by the oral board raters. Links to 200+ police topics are included with this on-demand seminar. Covered in Module 7.
“…placed me in the number one position, and earned me my promotion. I am proud to say that I will be sworn into the rank of corporal in September.”
-Promoted to Corporal in Connecticut
“I just wanted to say thank you for your program. I owned that assessment center! My Chief said that he’s never seen scores that high in his career…”
-Promoted to Sergeant in Michigan

-Promoted to Lieutenant in Maryland
“…I moved up 42 spots to the overall #6 position. On top of that, I had the highest overall assessment center score out of 58 candidates…worth every penny I spent with Finests”
-Promoted to Captain in Texas
Experiential Questions
If the panel asks you to tell them about a challenging experience that you have had in the past, do not wait until your oral board to try to think of one. Start thinking now of ethical challenges you have faced, difficult decisions that you have had to make, times when you have contributed to your police department at a higher level, etc. Then formulate a strong experience to share as well as the positive outcome that occurred. Covered in Module 6.
Interview Questions
Many processes have a chief’s interview or commissioner’s interview that occurs after the police oral board but prior to the final promotion selection being made. These interviews are often less technical and more abstract. Questions such as “strengths and weaknesses” or “loyalty” may appear in these interviews. Again, be prepared to speak to your readiness and commitment to serve your agency at the next level. Covered in Module 5.
“I am pleased to inform you that I was the top scorer in my Department’s Assessment Center testing process!! I purchased the one month Oral Board Videos which definitely helped me achieve my goal. All the videos were a valuable asset for me in preparation for the Assessment Center. The leadership information along with the critical incident response video were right on point. Furthermore, your emphasis on the importance of Organization and Community coming first also helped me greatly in the process.”

“Good morning Chief, Just wanted to reach out and let you know that I placed 1 out of 5 for the lieutenant’s promotion at my agency despite being the most junior sergeant on the list, and I will be sworn in next Monday. Wanted to say that your course really helped calm my nerves and prepared me to speak in front of a panel which included multiple police chiefs and the mayor. I’ve recommended your program to the officers who will be testing later in the year for sergeant and corporal. Thank you!” -Promoted to Lieutenant in New Jersey.
“Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you. I was studying for my sergeant oral board / assessment center for a while and stumbled upon your course about a month ago.
