IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: SIGNIFICANT SELECTION PROCESS INFORMATION
Candidates should first complete this Police Officer application. After submitting your application, the next step is for qualified candidates to complete the Civil Service Exam. The Civil Service Exam used by the Orlando Police Department, is the Frontline National Exam by the National Testing Network. There is additional information as to the content of this exam, on the National Testing Network's (NTN's) website at this link: Frontline National Exam. 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: ************ or *******************
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 ************ and send your scores to the Orlando Police Department via NTN for a cost of $12.00. This $12.00 cost will be paid for by the Orlando Police Department for a limited time. Note: this only applies to those who have completed Frontline National with NTN within the past 12 months from the date of their Police Officer application.
If applicants pass the Frontline National Exam (Civil Service Exam), they may be invited to complete a Physical Assessment Test (PAT), which is a 1.5 mile run in 16 minutes or less, complete at least 15 push-ups in one minute, and complete at least 25 sit-ups in one minute. Prior to taking the PAT, each applicant will be required to produce a completed PAT waiver. The waiver will be emailed to applicants at an appropriate time. The applicant will be required to complete a physical examination and an EKG by a physician of their choice.
The physician will complete and sign the last page of the waiver, attesting to the fact that they have reviewed the applicant's health history, performed a physical examination, conducted an EKG, effectively clearing the applicant for participation in the above described physical assessment test. In addition to the PAT, select candidates will also be required to successfully complete a Civil Service Exam (Frontline National Exam via NTN or Frontline National Exam on-site in Orlando in an exam coordinated by OPD as described above), interviews, polygraph exams, a background investigation, a psychological exam and a medical exam. Note: Applicants reaching the latter stages of the selection process will have their fingerprints taken for background check purposes. Fingerprints submitted by applicants will be retained by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as part of the National Rap Back Service.
Selection by the Orlando Police Department means that you will be retained as a conditional civilian employee. This entitles you to enrollment in the Basic Law Enforcement Academy (School of Public Safety - Valencia College), or if a certified officer in the State of Florida, you will be hired as a civilian employee until you successfully complete the orientation phase. Upon completion of the orientation phase, your status as a conditional employee will be concluded, and you will be hired as a probationary police officer. Failure to successfully complete the academy and orientation phase can result in immediate termination and removal of your name from further consideration for employment as a police officer.
