There were two rounds of interviews done virtually. The first was a panel with officers and managers, and the second was with the Chief, Deputy Chief, and a manager. The first interview had typical questions about handling situations, while the second was more personal, focusing on getting to know you, your working style, and how you'd fit into the agency.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview was a bit over an hour long, with six people from the panel, including the Chief and Deputy Chief Probation Officer. They used a prepared list of over 20 questions and a bunch of 'what-if' scenarios to see how I'd react. There was also a round-table discussion where they asked follow-up questions after I answered the initial ones.

It was pretty basic, not too difficult. Two people who interviewed me asked about my experience and goals. They got back to me fast with an offer and info for background checks.
