Archival data was used from a local law enforcement agency to answer these questions. Candidates were interviewed by a panel of three using a structure interview approach with a set list of questions. The interview questions consisted of two situational questions, six behavioral questions, one overall communication rating, and an initial question asking why someone wanted to be an law enforcement officer. It was found that behavioral question was rated higher than situational questions. It was also found that they were all correlated with the overall communication question.
