Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) Coaching. Preparing you to excel in the RCMP Interviewing Process
The Winnipeg Police Service Interview comprises two main segments
Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) Behavioural Descriptive Interview (BDI)
At anEDGE Interview Coaching, we prepare applicants for the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) Behavioural Descriptive Interview (BDI). The BDI uses behaviour-based questions to assess how your past experiences predict your future performance as a WPS officer. For example, you may be asked: “Describe a time when you had to resolve conflict under pressure.”
The most effective way to answer WPS BDI questions is with the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). This structured approach helps you deliver clear, competency-based responses that demonstrate the skills WPS is looking for.
Our WPS interview coaching sessions give you the tools to develop strong STAR examples, highlight essential WPS competencies, and build the confidence to succeed in your Winnipeg Police Service interview.
Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) Background Interview
At anEDGE Interview Coaching, we prepare applicants for the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) background investigation interview, one of the most detailed stages of the hiring process. This one-on-one interview with a WPS investigator lasts about three hours and explores your personal, professional, and financial history to assess your integrity, trustworthiness, and overall suitability.
Applicants receive instructions in advance on what documents to bring, but unlike the WPS Behavioural Descriptive Interview (BDI), this is not an interview you can study for. It requires honesty, professionalism, and self-awareness. Following the interview, the investigator conducts a full review to determine if you meet the high standards of the Winnipeg Police Service.
At anEDGE, we help you understand what to expect, how to approach this stage with confidence, and how to present yourself professionally throughout your WPS background investigation interview.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) Interview Coaching?
anEDGE Interview Coaching provides personalized, one-on-one training to help applicants prepare for the Winnipeg Police Service interview process, including the WPS Behavioural Descriptive Interview (BDI) and the WPS Background Interview. We focus on building confidence, strong STAR responses, and professional presentation.
What is the WPS Behavioural Descriptive Interview (BDI)?
The WPS BDI is a structured interview that asks you to describe past experiences to demonstrate core competencies. It uses the principle that past behaviour is the best predictor of future performance as a police officer.
How can anEDGE help me prepare for the WPS BDI?
We coach applicants on how to develop strong STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) examples that highlight WPS competencies. With practice and feedback, you’ll learn how to deliver answers that are clear, relevant, and impactful.
What kinds of questions are asked in the WPS BDI?
WPS BDI questions typically begin with prompts like: “Tell me about a time when…” Examples include conflict resolution, decision-making, stress management, teamwork, and integrity.
How long does the WPS Behavioural Descriptive Interview take?
The WPS BDI interview generally lasts about two hours, depending on the number of questions and the depth of your answers.
What is the WPS Background Interview?
The WPS Background Interview is a three-hour, one-on-one session with a police investigator. It covers your personal history, employment, finances, relationships, and character to assess your overall suitability for policing.
Can I prepare for the WPS Background Interview?
While you can’t “study” for the background interview, anEDGE coaching helps you understand what to expect, how to organize required documents, and how to present yourself with honesty and professionalism.
What documents do I need for the WPS Background Interview?
While you can’t “study” for the background interview, anEDGE coaching helps you understand what to expect, how to organize required documents, and how to present yourself with honesty and professionalism.
How does the WPS Background Interview differ from the WPS BDI?
The WPS BDI measures competencies through structured questions, while the WPS Background Interview examines your entire personal and professional history. Both are critical steps in the Winnipeg Police Service hiring process.
Why is the WPS Background Interview so important?
It ensures candidates meet the high standards of integrity, trust, and professionalism expected by the Winnipeg Police Service.

Can anEDGE help if I’ve had past mistakes or “life indiscretions”?
Yes. We coach applicants on how to address past challenges honestly and professionally, a key factor in succeeding during both the WPS BDI and the WPS Background Interview.
How soon should I start WPS interview coaching?
We recommend starting early so you have time to develop strong STAR examples and prepare thoroughly for both stages of the Winnipeg Police Service interview process.
What happens after the WPS Background Interview?
Following the session, the investigator conducts a detailed review of your personal and professional history to determine your suitability for employment with the Winnipeg Police Service.
Is the WPS interview process the same as other police services?
