Dear Future Sergeant,
Do you know what your Chief (or Sheriff) is looking for in a sergeant? Do you know how to make yourself stand out as the obvious choice for promotion?
Maybe,
You have previously participated in a promotional testing process and were not selected.
Maybe,
You are a great cop, yet the Chief did not select you for promotion, instead other (maybe less qualified) candidate(s) were promoted.
Or Maybe,
This is your first time taking the test and you don’t know where to start and failure to earn the promotion is simply not an option for you.
Are you aware that there are some universal truths that your command staff will generally not share with you regarding promotion?
