THE POLICE OFFICER COMPONENTS ARE:

• A multiple-choice written examination that tests English grammar and syntax, spelling, vocabulary, and reading-comprehension skills.
• A physical ability examination that measures strength, endurance, equilibrium, and flexibility.
• Additionally, a trigger-pull exercise that measures handgrip and arm strength.
• A situation-response oral examination that tests oral communication skills, decision-making, self-control, and flexibility.
• Candidates who pass the three-part Police Officer examination move on to the background investigation process.
