An example of a personal question is:
“Why do you want to be a CSO?”

“You are on duty, in uniform, equipped with a police radio and a flashlight. You are walking a student home when
you hear a report on the radio of a bike theft, which just occurred, near your location. Suddenly, you see the suspect
walking the bike by you. What would you do?”
The Oral Board is an important part of the hiring process, so you will want to present yourself well.

All statements made are subject to verification. Deliberate inaccuracies or incomplete statements may bar
or remove you from employment. All time periods in your background must be accounted for.
It is to your advantage to respond openly. Any negative factor in your background will be evaluated in
terms of the circumstances and facts surrounding it, and its degree of relevance to the job of a Community

conviction when the record of such an incident has been sealed in accordance with Penal Code Section

and Safety Code 11361.5. However, you must list the arrest and/or conviction if you have received a
