I just finished my order board interview for Roanoke City Police Department. It is very straightforward, although I do believe they repeat themselves to see if your going to change your answer. Personally I was a bit nervous being it was the first time I've done anything like this.
I applied online. I interviewed at Roanoke City Police Department (Roanoke, VA) in Feb 2021
Interview
My process with Roanoke City Police was great. They have wonderful staff and they work with you very well. There are a bunch of steps to get through before accepting your official offer.
I applied in-person. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Roanoke City Police Department (Roanoke, VA) in Aug 2014
Interview
