Basic Peace Officer Course Exam

The CAPCOG Regional Law Enforcement Academy will offer a Basic Peace Officer Course (BPOC) Entrance Exam for course No. 94 or No. 95. Prospective BPOC candidates need to take and pass an entrance exam before they qualify for enrollment in the Regional Law Enforcement Academy.

Course No. 94 is anticipated to start Sept. 7, 2021 and will be a part-time, evening course held off  site. Course No. 95 is anticipated to start on Sept. 13, 2021 and end March 31, 2022. It will be a fulltime, day course held at CAPCOG.

The timed exam is a four-part test covering basic mathematics, reading comprehension, grammar, and writing skills. Candidates must score at least a 70 on each section of the exam. Further BPOC qualification instructions will be given after the exam.

BPOCs are designed to meet the initial training requirements mandated by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) for becoming a Certified Texas Peace Officer and to prepare students to take the State’s Peace Officer Licensing Exam.
