Promotional Mentoring – Unlock Your Potential
First and foremost, thank you for visiting this page. The fact that you're here shows your
commitment to growth, development, and success—and that’s something to be proud of. In our
profession, reaching out for help isn’t always easy, and I commend you for taking that first step.
Are You Ready to Elevate Your Career?
Whether you're preparing for a promotion, pursuing a specialized assignment, or gearing up for
a pre-employment oral board, you're likely here because you're determined to stand out—but
maybe you’ve just missed the mark before.
These personalized oral board mentoring sessions are designed with you in mind.
Led by (Ret.) Acting Captain Ron Mello, these sessions are based on real-world insight,
decades of experience, and a deep understanding of what boards are looking for. Over a 30-year
law enforcement career, I’ve conducted more than 500 oral boards across promotions, specialty
assignments, and hiring panels. I’ve even written many of the questions you’ve likely faced—or
will face—in the future.
What I Offer
You’ll receive a customized, strategic plan to help you succeed—not just for your next oral
board, but for your entire career. The goal is to bring out your very best and provide you with
actionable tools, tips, and techniques that you can use over and over again.
We can also incorporate mock interviews, after-action reviews, or even targeted coaching
following an oral board you’ve recently completed.
Mission Statement
My passion is mentoring my fellow brothers and sisters in law enforcement—just as I was
mentored early in my career. My mission is to help you reach your full potential and rise into
positions of leadership. The future of our profession depends on promoting and hiring high-
quality officers and supervisors. They are the foundation of effective, ethical, and community-
focused law enforcement.
Getting Started
Let’s talk. I offer a free 20-minute phone or email consultation to understand your goals and
discuss how I can help. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll move forward with a mentoring plan
tailored just for you.
Mentoring Sessions
Sessions are in-depth, highly personalized, and focused on real-world performance. Sessions
typically last 1–3 hours, depending on your needs. I recommend breaking them into one or two
focused blocks for maximum impact.
By the end, you’ll walk away with:
-
A repeatable strategy
-
Interview techniques and oral board insights
-
A clear, confident plan for success
Affordable Pricing
I strive to keep my sessions accessible and affordable, because I believe cost should never be
a barrier to excellence in law enforcement leadership.
Rates:
-
1-hour session: $40
-
2-hour session: $75
-
3-hour session: $110
I also accept hardship cases—just reach out and we’ll work something out. I’ve been in your
shoes, and I remember how hard it was to find affordable, meaningful help when I was preparing
for Sergeant.
