CopPrep is a unique and groundbreaking system bridging the gap between the modern-day law enforcement agency and its prospective officers. The program combines cutting edge training and preparation to build better, more well rounded and professional police applicants. These applicants don’t just become part of the hiring process, they set the standard that others are measured by in the hiring pool.

The Difference

It’s easy to tell you what you should do and where you could go find the resources you need to be successful in your goal of getting hired by a law enforcement agency.  That’s exactly why we created CopPrep; to be the difference, to light the path of an otherwise dark and confusing journey.

While some programs offer today’s professional police applicant test taking tips and unlimited practice exams to regurgitate and obsess over, none address the toughest and most critical steps in the process; everything after the entrance exam!

The reality is this; the entrance exam is the easiest part of the hiring process and statistically shown, the majority of those who take it, pass it.  We will not only show you how you can pass the entrance exam, we will train and prepare you to excel in the most critical phases of the remaining process, a process that most are capable of, but few succeed in, largely in part because they simply haven’t properly prepared themselves for it.

Consider this breakdown for a typical pool of 100 applicants:

• 100 apply and take the entrance exam. 80 of those pass…
• 80 take the physical agility test. 70 of those pass…
• 70 then go to the interview phase. 20 of those score high enough to move on to backgrounds….
• The top 10 are worked, the other 10 are put on “the list.”
• Of that final 20, maybe 5 will be given a job offer and hired…

Now, being in that original 100, what are your chances of being one of those final (5) if you’re not properly prepared?  That’s where CopPrep comes in. If your goal is to be one of those five, then this is your program.

What makes us different, and better, is that we address ALL areas of the hiring process, with the main focus being on those areas where people fall short the most; the interview and background phases.

What makes CopPrep far more credible and worth your time, is our current and relevant experience in this very field.  One of the leading on-line police employment preparation companies, boasts a resume of three people, with only ONE of which who claims a mere four years of police experience!!  Now, compare that with our training staff of three that collectively possess more than thirty years of experience in nearly every field of police work, at the local, county and federal level.

The Cost

Our four hour program costs $95 and offers each student a detailed and focused approach to targeting the most daunting phases of the hiring process, providing each attendee with the tools needed to get them guaranteed and measurable results in the hiring process to accomplish their dream of a career in law enforcement.

For nearly $25 an hour, you will leave our session better prepared than you have ever been and armed with real world strategies and coaching that guarantees you greater success in the process and ultimately toward your goal of getting hired. We are confident if you attend our program or speak to someone who has, we are simply the best and most straightforward program you will find.

$95 is not cheap. But consider this; police work is one of the most rewarding, honorable and sought-after careers available, a career that pays more than $100,000 per year, offers full retirement and top notch benefits and opportunity.  Is $95 worth a shot at that opportunity?
