IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: SIGNIFICANT SELECTION PROCESS INFORMATION Candidates should first complete this Police Officer application.

The Civil Service Exam used by the Orlando Police Department, is the Frontline National Exam by the National Testing Network.

There are two (2) options on how to complete the Frontline National Exam, which are described below. 1. Selected applicants can complete the exam in-person in Orlando on a specific date determined by the Orlando Police Department. Applicants will be contacted by the Orlando Police Department concerning this option. The exam is administered by the Orlando Police Department. There is NO COST to complete the exam in-person. Generally, the exam is offered once per month. Applicants complete the exam in the morning. Applicants return to the testing venue in the afternoon, where results are divulged. Those passing the exam may have the opportunity to participate in the Physical Abilities Test (PAT) and potentially a panel interview that same day. OR 2. The second method for applicants to complete Frontline National is via NTN. NTN has multiple testing locations throughout the country or the option to complete the exam virtually. Candidates complete the exam at their convenience and schedule the exam via NTN’s website. Selected and qualified candidates will be contacted by the Orlando Police Department and provided a voucher for the exam cost. This voucher will waive the $55.00 cost of the exam, when candidates schedule their exam via NTN. This voucher is only being provided for a limited amount of time by the Orlando Police Department and may be discontinued at any time. There is information in this job posting referencing the minimum qualifications for the position. Please ensure you meet these qualifications before applying. The Orlando Police Department will NOT reimburse candidates for the cost of the Frontline National Exam, after candidates have paid for the exam on their own accord. If candidates have any questions concerning their eligibility, they should reach out to OPD Recruiting at: 407-246-2459 or recruit@orlando.gov Those completing the exam via NTN will be contacted by the Orlando Police Department as to whether they have “Passed/Failed” the exam. The applicants passing the exam will be provided additional instructions on the next steps of the process. If you have already completed Frontline National with NTN within the past 12 months from your Police Officer application date, your scores are still valid via NTN. You can contact NTN Support at 855-821-3761 and send your scores to the Orlando Police Department via NTN for a cost of $12.00.

Exposure to human bodily fluids and other potentially infectious and hazardous materials is possible. Few tasks require heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying heavy loads. Physical flexibility is important because of the need to enter and exit vehicles frequently, search buildings, climb over and around obstacles, and suddenly move out of the way of danger. Mental alertness is important because of the need to make fine distinctions and decisions concerning subtle clues of impending danger or to discover inconsistencies in witness or suspect statements. Physical and mental demands may change dramatically within seconds and task the maximum of human endurance. Therefore, police officers must maintain a physical and mental state of fitness and readiness that will enable them to handle recurrent contacts and involvement with dangerous people, animals, and equipment. Exposure to violent human behavior is likely. Frequent use of motor vehicles and firearms is to be expected.

Applicants must successfully pass each event to move forward. Between the five events you must earn at least 15 total points to pass. Event #1 - 300-Meter Run The 300-meter run measures anaerobic capacity. This is your ability to perform short, intense bursts of effort like foot pursuits. You must sprint 300 meters - about 3/4 of a lap around the track - for this event. Event #2 - Maximum Push-up Test Push-ups measure the endurance of your upper body muscles including your shoulders, chest and the back of your upper arms. This test measures your ability to use force involving a pushing motion. The test ends when you can no longer continue due to muscle fatigue. You assume a push-up position with your feet together or up to twelve inches apart. Your hands are placed approximately shoulder-width apart with fingers facing forward. An instructor places a three inch push-up block beneath your sternum. A proper push-up is when you lower your body, touch the block with your sternum, then return to your starting position with elbows in a soft lock. Resting position is up, and proper form is closely monitored. Event #3 - Vertical Jump The vertical jump measures the difference between your standing reach and your jumping reach. This event relates to the explosive power that is needed in operational or pursuit tasks that require jumping and vaulting. With the use of the Vertec Jump Apparatus, the instructor measures your standing reach, then you may choose from two stances to gain explosive power: feet parallel with one jump up, or feet apart and then gather and jump. You will jump three times reaching as high as possible. The instructor records the highest jump. If you achieve a jump measurement of 24 inches or more, no more jumps are required.
