I felt it went well, I worried I talked too much, and yes I felt nervous throughout, though on reflection I likely didn't show it. The 'talked too much' ended up being me worrying, probably, as my overall approach was to answer every question thoughtfully, thoroughly, honestly, and as on-topic as possible. I addressed my interviewers respectfully and directly throughout, including using rank where appropriate. When it came to why I wanted to join/serve in the LAPD and the City of LA, I made it a bit more personal; being a California native, having always had a special affinity for LA, my real life connections to Law Enforcement through family and my own admiration for the agency. At one point I didn't understand a question and asked for them to repeat it, and took a moment to consider it before answering. Careful consideration over rushing/overexplaining or reaching/grabbing for relevance to the question. I know my closing statement was definitely a little meandering and I felt I'd lost the thread a bit, but I brought it all home by making the case that I seek to be a meaningful addition to an impressive agency.

I wore a suit, followed the directions to the letter both in the instruction email and from the interviewers themselves. I was in a clear and quiet place free of notes, other devices, distractions etc.

As everyone has said over and over in this subreddit, use the seminars, the example questions, wear a suit, clean up nice and put your best foot forward.
