Police Officer Exam

Candidates must pass the police officer written exam, which is designed to measure cognitive ability, observational skills, and mental acuity. While passing the written test is mandatory, it is not a guarantee of an appointment to the position of police officer.

Filing for the next Police Officer Exam will commence April 7th, 2021, and end April 27th, 2021. The Exam will be administered June 2021. Check back for updates regarding the Exam.
