The new Entry-Level Online Test for Police Officers is a content-valid test that is administered in a virtual setting to measure critical skills and abilities your police officer candidates must possess the first day on the job. This Police Aptitude and Character Test (PACT) was carefully crafted to include items that will identify those candidates who demonstrate minimum competencies in a variety of cognitive and non-cognitive areas. This will ensure a balanced approach to the testing of your candidates.

Online Test Client Testimonials
“I have been working with FPSI staff for several years now and it has always been a pleasure to work with such professional staff. Steve is very responsive, patient, and professional. When the pandemic hit, we were in the midst of a firefighter recruitment process. They stepped up and provided us with options for an online test without hesitation. Staff went above and beyond in being available on the weekend to respond to candidate inquiries.”
JoAnn Acosta, Human Resources Manager

“Everyone at FPSI absolutely ROCKS!!! Thank you so much…I cannot begin to explain how much time, energy and focus this process has taken off of me, and how much better results we have gotten. I am so thrilled at the results. I already took the survey to make sure everyone knows. The report with the demographics with the adverse impact review as part of it has made my life so much easier. Thank you, again!”

Julie Walker, Human Resources Manager
West Pierce Fire & Rescue, WA
“This is my first time working with members of the FPSI team. I was extremely satisfied with the professionalism they displayed and with how they served our needs. There was nothing complicated and everything was straight forward. Looking forward to working with you again in the future.”
Steve Dixon, Division Chief of Training/Suppression
Racine Fire Department, WI
“The online testing was awesome, convenient and progressive. FPSI were wonderful to work with. We needed to move forward due to retirements and losing staff and we didn’t know how long orders for social distancing and large groups would be, so I decided to move forward with the support of my commission. After the exam, it only took 2 days to receive the results. Simple process. I questioned those that tested and had moved forward and they loved testing in their homes and were able to concentrate and not be in a testing environment. Overall I thought it went smooth and effortless. I would certainly use them again. I’m happy we decided to test online.”
