Out of Area Applicants
The San Jose Police Department will offer “all-in-one” out of area testing for Recruit, Direct Entry and Lateral Police applicants. To qualify, the applicant must live three (3) or more hours from the City of San Jose. Out of area testing will allow applicants to complete all testing phases, including the POST written, physical agility and oral board in one visit to the area.
Check the calendar below for available Out of Area testing weekends.
The Recruiting Unit will also give applicants an opportunity to attend a Recruiting and Pre-Test seminar.
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.
