1 Del. Admin. Code § 801-23.0 - Standardized Competency Examination
23.1 All police officer applicants seeking
Council on Police Training certification shall successfully pass a standardized
competency examination developed and approved by the Council.
23.2 The Council has approved three
examinations, each consisting of 100 multiple choice and true/false questions.
The questions are divided into four sections of general law enforcement
knowledge. There are no agency-specific questions or topics.
23.3 Police officer applicants must score at
least a 70% on each section to be considered eligible for Council
certification.
23.4 Failure to
attain a 70% on any section will require the applicant to retake that section
only. The applicant will be given ample opportunity to study or attend training
classes prior to attempting a retake of any section or sections.
23.5 The Administrator or his/her designee
will randomly select one examination from the three approved examinations to
submit to the applicant. On any retake examination, the Administrator or
his/her designee will submit one of the two other examinations to the applicant
to prevent possible memorization of the questions. Should the applicant fail to
pass any of the three sections within three attempts, notification must be made
to the Administrator to determine the appropriate course of action.
23.6 All three examinations are "open book",
utilizing Delaware Motor Vehicle and Criminal Codes.
23.7 Successful completion of the competency
examination must occur prior to certification by the Council.
23.8 Failure to pass the competency
examination will render the applicant unable to become certified with police
powers in the State of Delaware.
