To read a TRANSCRIPT of the answer to this police lieutenant oral board question on Car Breaks, go to Finests.com. Interested in attending an ORAL BOARD SEMINAR? No need to wait. Check out my on-demand seminar at Finests.com Watch this video to see my answer to this police lieutenant oral board question: “Car break-ins are a concern for our community. As a lieutenant, what will you do to address this crime?” Car break-ins are frustrating. Frustrating for the victims, frustrating for those who are concerned that they may be victimized, and frustrating for police. Chiefs seem to be on a never ending course to eliminate - or at least reduce - the occurrence of these crimes. And when something stays on the chief’s radar you can be sure it will flow down the chain of command. If you are seeking to be promoted from sergeant to lieutenant, the police lieutenant oral board or assessment center game changes. Having worked with promotion candidates for as long as I have, I frequently see lieutenant candidates answer questions in sergeant mode rather than lieutenant mode. The simple fix that I recommend is to be sure their answers to situational questions include delegating to sergeants when appropriate.
