Police Candidate Orientation Guides

Police Candidate Orientation Guides

Each orientation guide is an “instant download” that you can print or save and contains (1) a job overview and (2) a pencil/paper test with (3) a key to score your own test.

Please note–The PACT Orientation Guide and the ONLINE TEST for Police Orientation Guide both contain the exact same test content.  Do NOT order both as they are the same as one is for a candidate taking the written test and one is for a candidate taking the online test!

Please note–The NPST-R and NPST Candidate Orientation Guides both contain the exact same test content EXCEPT the Reading Comprehension Manual component. Please refer to the department you are testing for to confirm whether or not they are using the NPST with the Reading Comprehension Manual or NOT.

Please note–The NDST-R and NDST Candidate Orientation Guides both contain the exact same test content EXCEPT the Reading Comprehension Manual component. Please refer to the department you are testing for to confirm whether or not they are using the NPST with the Reading Comprehension Manual or NOT.

Please pay close attention to the “Order Instructions” below before ordering your guide!  If you are not sure which guide to order, please refer to the department you are applying with to confirm the test you will be taking!
