Capitol Police

[brianlar13]

I was wondering if any Capitol Police officers, or anyone who has gone through thier process, can tell me about the phsycological, physical, and polygraph exams administered by the U.S.C.P.? I got a call from a recruiter the other day to schedule the above mentioned exams, and wondered what I should expect.

If you don't get an answer, you may want to go to www.911jobforums.com and do a search. There are a few Capitol Police Officers on that forum and I know there has been some lengthy discussion on the issue.

I talked to a few Capitol Police Officers on my last trip to DC which was about 4 years ago. From what they told me, you are as busy as you want to be. Other than having a couple hundred bosses, they seemed to enjoy the work. He wasn't too thrilled with the DC living conditions, but he said the job was interesting.

Yeah, I tried that. You're right, definetely some lengthy discussion, but not what I was looking for. I wanted to know what type of psychological tests they used, whether or not the physical was more like a doctors physical, or running, situps, etc. and also if the poly was one of the 20 question ones, or more like the 200 question ones.
