Applicants who have taken and passed an approved California POST Academy physical agility performance examination within twelve (12) months of the scheduled testing date may request to waive the APT. Applicants must be able to provide a copy of the official score report notice (including academy name, exam name, exam date, and exam scores), prior to the APT scheduled date,  to the PCSO Human Resources Unit @ [email protected]

Applicants who have taken and passed a previous APT with our Agency within twelve (12) months of the scheduled testing date may request to waive the APT. Applicants must provide the date of their last performance test with their request to waive the APT to the PCSO Human Resources Unit @ [email protected].

The written examination consists of the POST Entry Level Law Enforcement Test Battery (PELLETB). T-scores received from this examination will determine applicant ranking on the eligible list. For more information regarding the PELLETB, click here.

Applicants who have already taken the POST PELLETB exam within twelve (12) months of their scheduled testing date may attach their official score report notice (including agency name, exam name, exam date, and exam scores) to their application materials to forward their scores to Placer County. Different agencies use different cutoff scores for the PELLETB exam. Therefore, it is possible for an applicant to pass the exam with one agency and fail it with another using the same score.
