2    WRITTEN EXAM & PHYSICAL AGILITY TEST

If invited, you'll take a written test covering spelling, grammar, reading comprehension, math, map reading skills, and memory recall. If you successfully pass the written test, you'll be invited to the physical agility test. You'll need to jump a six foot solid fence and sprint 20 yards, jump a chain link fence, drag a 165 pound dummy, run a 99 yard obstacle course and complete a 500 yard run.  You will receive points for each event. You must earn a minimum of 384 points to pass. This is a POST requirement.

3     INTERVIEW & PERSONAL HISTORY STATEMENT

If you pass the physical agility and written exam you may be invited to an oral interview. Be well-rested, look sharp, and be at the top of your game. We want to see who you are and hear what you have to say. We'll ask you a host of questions about your personal history, what your goals are, and some hypothetical questions as well.  If you are still in the running, you'll complete a lengthy personal history statement which covers your education, credit, relationships, employment and business dealings.
