I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Holland Police Department - Michigan (Holland, MI) in Oct 2015
Interview
Very common interview process for law enforcement minus one exception. They have a very large hands on challenge, where they test your communication and problems solving skills by running you through various scenarios from armed robbers to a suicidal individual, testing your ability to handle stress and complete your objective, providing the skills necessary to be a police officer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
