Police Promotional & Police Entrance Prep

Police & Fire entrance/promotion exams

You probably spent a couple of thousand dollars on a study course for your exam...But can you remember all that information? Are you stressed out that you won't pass? Are you able to stay calm during your oral exam, or in-out box exam? Are you able to speak to the examiners at your interview? Are you able to qualify for your firearms training? Are you stressed at home due to studying? Can you really work on duty knowing that your test is upcoming? Can you sleep knowing your test is coming up? Can you...........? If you have any of these questions then you need MENTAL TRAINING.
There is more that affects your testing, Stress-Working shifts-Divorce-Management-co-workers and more....I address these issues also to keep your mind free so you can learn about your testing, let's block these issues that testing companies don't address.

I am a retired Police Captain (NJ), who retired 22 yrs. ago (2000) after 29 yrs. of service and as a former Police Chief in PA after retirement. I have been doing hypnosis for 30 yrs. as a forensic hypnotist and currently do hypnosis for professional and Olympic athletes (WWW.USSHC.US) worldwide.

You can do your exam training without spending thousands of $$$ sitting in a room with other candidates, by doing it at home. Buy the books you need, read and study them and listen to my audios, they work. I did not have the money in the '80s for these groups but an officer from the Parsippany Police Dept. told me he did not either. So, he bought the books and then went to a hypnotist who helped him recall what he learned, gave him confidence, and more.

He took the test and came out #1 on the sergeant's exam, without spending thousands. I did the same thing (which got me hooked on hypnosis) and came out #2 for my sergeant's exam. Now you can do the same thing. I helped other officers who were stressed out about exams and public speaking and developed this course. Read below what I just did for a friend that needed some confidence-boosting.

May 2022 testimonial

My son James graduated from a Police Academy in 2020 but due to hiring restrictions during the pandemic did not get hired until 2022 by a NJ police department. He had not fired a gun since the academy and he needed to qualify again in order to start his employment: however, he failed to qualify on the date of the testing and had developed a “recoil-anticipation flinch” which was throwing off his shots. With the pressure of losing his job on the line, he was unable to overcome the “mental” roadblock and his self-confidence and doubt rapidly caused his shooting to decline. The more he tried the worse it became.

The department gave him a week to train and one more chance to qualify at the end of the week or they would have to let him go. The pressure was terrible. We hired a private shooting instructor and on the advice of a former Police Chief friend, also engaged the services of a sports hypnotist, Jack Nicholais, who unknown to us was also a former police officer.

The instructors all agreed that my son’s grip, stance, aim, etc. were all fine, but the problem (a common one) was mental-he was unconsciously anticipating the recoil before finishing the trigger pull and thus throwing off his shots. The more he practiced and tried to quiet his mind the worse it became. The mantra is “let the gun surprise you- don’t surprise the gun”-much easier said than done.

Jack provided a list of positive affirmations for him to read aloud, that is specific to the skills he was trying to master. He also created a subliminal audio podcast to listen to as he was going to sleep for the night and he set up skype sessions with my son, among other “self-hypnosis” techniques to build his confidence.

The qualifying test requires 60 shots from 25 yard, 15, 7, and 5 collectively with an 80% accuracy (must make 48 out of 60). In his original test, he made only 33 out of 60. As the week progressed, I could see my son’s confidence slowly building, but as of the night before the final qualification test my son had only hit the 48-shot minimum one time. He had to do it for three separate rounds of 60 the following day and it did not seem he was quite there yet.

However, the night before we talked and I could see that his attitude and confidence had completely changed- he said he did it once so he knew he could do it again and he was just going to listen to his tapes, clear his head and have fun – he no longer seemed worried about the outcome.

The following morning, I received his text- he not only passed all three rounds of 60 with scores of 55, 53, and 49!!, but he made 11 of 12 long-range shots – at the beginning of the week, he missed all 12 from the 25-yard range! When we talked that night, he said that the difference was that his mind was clear, focused, and confident! He still listens to the tapes every night because it puts his mind at peace, and he attributes his success not only to the physical skills and practice but more importantly to the confidence and focuses that Jack’s program gave him – he would not have overcome the mental obstacles without it.

I highly recommend Jack’s services to anyone who is hitting obstacles or roadblocks in a particular sport, skill, or even a career hurdle due to self-doubt, lack of confidence or other psychological barriers to their performance! My son and I cannot thank Jack enough!
