To join the Denver Colorado police department, you have to take two exams. You will need to take a written exam and a video exam. The written exam is the entry-level police written test by Fire & Police Selection, Inc. The video exam is the FrontLine National Video-Based Human Relations and Judgment Test.
The written test is a computerized test that measures your writing ability skills and human relation skills. You will have 3 hours to complete the entire Written Test. You need a passing score of 65.
- The writing ability section of the exam is comprised of 44 questions. This includes topics in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and ease of understanding.
- The human relation skills are comprised of 62 questions. It tests your ability to work under stressful conditions, integrity, ethics, decision-making, self-control, maintain confidentiality, interpersonal skills, teamwork, ability to follow rules, and demonstrate respect for others.
The video test will be given immediately after the written test. The video test measures skills in human interactions, responding calmly to provocation, unbiased enforcement, situational judgment, ethics, social maturity, and handling authority. The video test is scored, but it is not a pass/fail test. The Video Test is worth a maximum of 100% of the total exam score.
