» The Written
Test - Friend or Foe
by George Godoy
The police written test is like a big wheel going round
and round. To become a police officer you must ride the wheel without being
crushed. I have administered and taken countless numbers of written tests,
and one thing is always true about this massive obstacle that keeps your
from your dream -- you must be in the driver's seat. The police written test
stands as a solid wall blocking your path to success. When I started my
quest to become a police officer in 1980 I had no clue how to jump this wall
and land on the green pasture waiting for me on the other side.
Suffering failure after failure trying to get my foot in the door I was finally struck by a bolt of lightning. I needed help from the inside. Knowledge from the inner walls of police departments where certified police officers grabbed their hand packs and clipboards and sat down to their daily roll call. These men and women knew the secret to success in law enforcement. They had passed the police selection process. They knew what to do to get the job.
So, I made two friends that would change my life. Both were police officers who were more than willing to help me with my problem -- to get a police job. Mike Valdez and Dwight Becker were seasoned police officers who would mentor me. Yes, coach me one on one. Get me to pass the written test and beyond. By hanging out with them I started to think like them -- like a cop. This made all the difference in the world. I picked their brains, asking question after question on how they would handle this type of situation or that type of situation. What they told me was burned in my mind. These golden nuggets of information would not only prepare me to pass the written test, but would lead me to a decorated police career that spanned 22 years.
Now, do you have to go out and make friends with a cop that will help you become a police officer? That would be nice, but not always possible. All you need to be successful in this field is to want it more than anyone else. I'll say that again -- you have to want it more than anyone else.
