Out of Area Applicants
The San Jose Police Department offers “all-in-one” weekend testing for Recruit and Lateral Police applicants that live three (3) or more hours away from San Jose. All-in one weekend testing allows an applicant to complete all of the required tests on a Saturday and Sunday. As an option, the Friday before weekend testing, the Recruiting Unit will present an Oral Board Preparation Seminar. This is an overview of the Oral Board Interview Test with tips on how to prepare for it.
We realize that applicants come from all over the nation to test to become one of San Jose's finest so please contact us for suggestions on where to stay. Applicants must have pre-arranged transportation as there will be several test sites on hand.
