Behavioral Group Presentation
So the interview process kicks off with a panel interview. You'll be facing about 1 to 4 supervisors, like Sergeants, Lieutenants, or Captains. They'll take turns asking you questions straight from a form. After the panel gives you the thumbs up, you get to do some job shadowing. This is basically a guided tour of the facility with a correctional officer. Just a heads up, you'll need to go through security checks like X-rays, metal detectors, and a pat-down. Only bring your government ID and keys into the secure area – leave everything else out.

Behavioral Group
You will be brought into an interview room where two staff members will be present. The exact flow of the interview will depend greatly on who is conducting it. Be ready for the typical questions. My interview went well, but that might not be the case for everyone. The Lieutenant had more to say than the Sergeant. It's important to find a middle ground, not being too aggressive or too submissive.
