Background
Police Officers are responsible for protecting and serving the public and are entrusted with substantial authority to carry out these responsibilities. The public has the right to expect that such authority is given only to those individuals who have demonstrated by their conduct that they will use the authority given to them in the public’s best interests.

Your past behavior and the choices you have made must demonstrate positive traits that will support your candidacy for Police Officer and reflect favorably on your character.

You must possess high standards of honesty and integrity as demonstrated by your dealings with individuals and organizations. Behaviors such as theft from employers or others, deceitful acts whether for personal gain or not, and falsifying, misrepresenting, or omitting information on any document or during the selection process will be closely scrutinized.

By completing this form you will be immediately notified if there are any issues in your background which may affect you in the Police Officer selection process.

The Selection Process consists of seven steps, all of which must be successfully completed before a candidate may be hired as a Police Officer. Generally, candidates must complete each step before being scheduled for the next. Successful candidates may expect to make four to five visits to various City testing sites during the process. PLEASE NOTE: The period for which test results are valid varies according to the test. It is the candidate's responsibility to make sure all his/her test results are kept current. Most successful candidates complete the Police Officer testing process in four months to one year.
PRELIMINARY BACKGROUND APPLICATION (PBA)
All candidates must complete the on-line, interactive PBA and JPQ prior to taking the written test
BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION
The Background Investigation begins with completion of a Personal History documents (which require compilation of extensive biographical information), fingerprinting, and an interview with a background investigator. The investigation will also include checks of employment, police, financial, education, and military records and interviews with family members, neighbors, supervisors, co-workers, and friends. The Polygraph examination is conducted to confirm information obtained during the selection process.
PERSONAL QUALIFICATIONS ESSAY (PQE) [DISABLED]
The PQE consists of essay questions related to judgement and decision making and behavioral flexibility. Your written communication skill will also be evaluated. A passing score (70% or higher) places you on the hiring list and is valid for 18 months. You may retake the PQE once every 6 months.
Candidates are not successful in the PQE for numerous reasons, including the following:
Using poor examples that fail to showcase their abilities and potential
Failure to provide enough details that would make the essays clear and easier to understand
Failure to stay on topic (i.e. rambling, too much detail, or irrelevant information)
Failure to provide all information asked for in the essay questions (i.e. did not completely answer the questions)
Lacks adequate written communication skills (i.e. English usage, grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.)
If you feel that you may need improvement in your written communication skills, we encourage you to take steps to improve in this area. You may want to consider taking a college course in business English and/or essay writing. Below are some courses offered through the Los Santos Community College District that may interest you.
PHYSICAL ABILITIES TEST (PAT)[DISABLED]
The Physical Abilities Test (PAT) consists of two parts. The first part is designed to measure strength, agility, and endurance. The second part measures aerobic capacity and it will be administered usually at the time of the Medical Evaluation. Passing the PAT only indicates the minimum physical ability required to undertake academy training. The PAT is a pass/fail qualifying test. You may take the test parts as often as is necessary to pass, and the score is valid for 12 months.
DEPARTMENT INTERVIEW
A panel interview will be conducted to assess your personal accomplishment, job motivation, instrumentality, interpersonal skills, continuous learning orientation and oral communication skills. Only those candidates who are selected during this part of the process will be scheduled for further testing. If you fail, you may retake the interview after 3 months. If you subsequently attend an Orientation/Oral Prep Seminar, you will not be required to wait 3 months for another interview.
