Questions about our Edmonton Police Service (EPS)Interview Coaching
The Edmonton Police Services Interview comprises two main segments
Edmonton Police Service (EPS) Personal Discloser Interview
At our Edmonton Police Interview Coaching sessions, we guide you through the Personal Disclosure Interview—one of the most essential parts of the Edmonton Police Service recruitment process.
In this interview, a Edmonton Police Recruiting Officer will review your Personal Disclosure Form and personal history in depth, so you’re fully prepared to respond with clarity and confidence.”
Edmonton Police Service (EPS) Behavioural Descriptive Interview (BDI)
At anEDGE, we specialize in Edmonton Police Service interview coaching to help applicants excel in the Behavioural Descriptive Interview (BDI). The BDI is based on the principle that past behaviour is the strongest predictor of future performance.
As part of the Edmonton Police Service hiring process, the BDI evaluates your character and suitability for policing through five key competencies:
Interpersonal Skills
Adaptability & Decisiveness
Stress Management
Valuing Service & Diversity
Initiative & Perseverance
Our expert coaching ensures you understand what EPS recruiters are looking for and how to deliver strong, competency-based examples that demonstrate your readiness for a career in policing.
During the Edmonton Police Behavioural Descriptive Interview, applicants must structure their answers using the STAR method, a proven framework for clear and compelling responses:
Situation – Describe the context or challenge you faced.
Task – Explain your responsibility or goal.
Action – Detail the steps you took to address the challenge.
Result – Share the outcome and what you learned from the experience.
This approach allows you to present your experiences as professional, structured stories that highlight the competencies the Edmonton Police Service is assessing.
