hi everybody my name is Richard McMunn
from the police recruitment training
company how to become calm and in this
video we are going to take a look at the
police officer recruitment video based
exercises so what are these video based
exercises well they are brand new to the
police officer assessment center and a
number of police forces are starting to
use these when assessing potential
recruits like yourself to join the
police force so they are essentially
video exercises you have to watch two
video exercises and one of them assesses
your understanding of the new police
values so you are required to watch two
video scenarios of police officers
dealing with a situation or a specific
incident now the video clips are around
two to three minutes in length now you
are not allowed to take notes but you
will be then asked questions following
each video clip to assess your view on
how the police officers dealt with the
situation so you may also be assessed on
observational skills so for example they
may say to you what color hat was the
person wearing what color was the ball
in the video how many cans of drink were
there in the video shop for example so
as I mentioned you cannot take notes so
you are relying entirely on memory and
observation skills so for example you
will be watching a video clip and this
is a still that I've taken of a video
clip and I'm actually going to show you
this video soon and get you to ask some
questions so you will see on the right
hand side there are two police officers
and on the left you have to use who are
drinking alcohol on a park bench and
then you would watch the clip and be
asked questions such as do you think the
police officer handled this situation in
the correct way another question might
be what could the police officer have
done differently and then an
observational question might be what
color cap was the youth wearing who was
furthest away from the camera so you can
see there that the cap is red and you
would have to remember that so it
assesses two things your understanding
of the values and whether they were
applied during the scenario and also
potentially observational skills so what
I'm going to do now is I'm going to play
a short video clip of two M actors two
police officers who are in a fictitious
scenario watch it from beginning to end
and then answer the questions that
follow don't take any notes treat this
as a real exercise so let's get straight
to the video watch what's going on and
then afterwards I'll ask you some
questions
holding jinx just going on here then
having a drink the idea I think if
you're going to drink underage drinking
which you clearly you don't look 18 then
underage then we're going to take your
drink so we're gonna report you I'm
gonna report you to your parent do it
again yeah okay so you've now had time
to watch the video clip from beginning
to end I will now ask you four questions
based on the information that you saw
within at the video clip and I would
like you to put your answer to each
question in the comment section below
the video for marking and I'll come on
here each day and I will give you my
view on your particular answer so
question number one was the conduct of
the officer nearest to the camera
acceptable if not what did he do or say
that was in your view unacceptable and
remember you are being assessed against
the values of a police officer question
number two did the police officer have
the right
to confiscate the drinks so did the
police officer have the right to
confiscate the drinks question number
three how would you have handled this
situation so tell me in the comment
section below the video what you would
have done differently or if you think
the police officers handled this in a
good way then please do say so and
question number four how many cans of
drink did you see in the video clip so
there's four questions for you
answer them having just watched the
video clip once so please put your
answer to the questions in the comment
section below the video for marking or
Kimani each day and answer them for you
