Application, followed by pre-screener, two 30 min oral interviews with at least 16 questions and repeating questions the second time around, sit-along, pre-polygraph and polygraph, and background investigation. A few of the interviewers were unprofessional and really went rogue with the process (intentionally sadistic and talked down to you), so I think that Fremont Police Department could benefit from having a moderator/HR rep sit in to monitor what is actually happening during the interviews. One interviewer thought it'd be appropriate to say unprompted "we know you have family problems, spill the dirt" while that person's colleagues looked down in shame. The inappropriate behavior didn't stop there. The interviewer further made unprompted inappropriate comments about salary matching. Two interviewers felt it appropriate to victim blame and say they didn't believe I was a victim for a couple of different incidents that happened years apart as well as that they didn't believe I remembered something later that I didn't remember before which I was obligated to disclose as part of the process. I'm also concerned they discriminate based on relationship status for those who are currently single based on how I was hounded about this as well as other microaggressions which I did not react to. Dispatchers looked really nervous during the sit-along, too unlike other neighboring environments and they were all quite young with no diversity. Messed up just starts to describe the unhealthy work environment at the Fremont Police Department. I interviewed at other jurisdictions, so I found out from the others that Fremont PD was dishonest about the definition of some laws and took a lot of liberties to exaggerate the process and get you to admit to something you didn't actually do. It could help when they tell you the interview process is invasive for you to ask what that means for them, because their unnecessary and inappropriate behavior went beyond the definition of invasive. One jurisdiction informed me that Fremont PD has been having issues with officers and other employees leaving for healthier workplaces since the latest management change. Another detective confirmed (unprompted by me) that the way Fremont handled a situation was not only inappropriate but wrong. Fremont could really benefit from applicants who have a thick skin and political acumen who can make it through the process to help change the unnecessarily cut-throat nature for the benefit of the residents.
