An interviewer explains why he asks police officers unexpected questions instead of the standard biography. He wants to find the person behind the badge, exploring their personality, internal department politics, and how relationships shape their daily work.
This was definitely a unique interview. You asked a lot of questions that people hadn't asked. And that's a good thing because sometimes I get bored doing an interview because I'm telling the same stories over and over again. Sometimes I'm like, jesus, I think maybe I'm playing myself out here. You know, it's like I watch my eyes closed. But you did a good job. Thank you. I like to find out about.
The people that. The people behind the stories. Like, you know, I. I get it. I get something in a bio sheet that's awesome. And there's a human behind. And so, you know, what interests me is who's the human behind the bio. Right. So. So I do. I try and I try and go a little deeper and. Well, you wanted the stories, which.
Is fine, but you also asked, you, you were more interested about how the department works and personality types and how the politicking. And a lot of people don't ask that.
