    I have an interview with 4 cops. It's in a couple of a hours. Any advice besides relax and answer truthfully. Should I address the officers as sir or less informal like hi nice to meet you. I appreciate any advice. Thank you

    Dress in your best suit/outfit. Address them as sir/mam and also greet them casually. You have one shot at making a good first impression. Eye contact is important along with good posture and thanking them at the end of the interview.

    Good Luck.

    Polish those shoes, and get a haircut the day before. Make sure your suit is dry cleaned. Obviosuly, no facial hair, piercings, etc. Firm handshake, eye contact, be confident but not cocky.
