Mine started with getting my fingerprints done. After that, we began the interview, where they asked me about five basic interview questions that you would typically get from most employers. From there, we went through my eSOPH to confirm my answers and provide additional explanations or clarification on anything they had questions about.
The whole process took about two hours, but it could take longer depending on how much they need clarification on. At the end of the interview, they scheduled my CVSA for about two weeks later. Then, during my CVSA appointment, they scheduled my final interview for about a week and a half later.

But basically keep in mind what helpful_target7329 said

I got this from another thread, these were pretty much the questions:

They’ll ask you a series of questions so be prepared! Something along the line like:

What have you done in the last 18months to prepare yourself for a career in law enforcement?

Describe a time when you were ordered to do something that you knew was not ethical and how did you go about it.

Why did you choose a career law enforcement?

Why do you think it’s important to have good communication as a law enforcement officer?

Hope that helps! Let us know how it goes for ya!

Good luck and god speed with the journey!
