Basic Peace Officer Entrance Exam

The CAPCOG Regional Law Enforcement Academy will offer a Basic Peace Officer Course (BPOC)Entrance Exam for course No. 99 at the Hutto Police Department with an anticipated April start date. The course will be a part-time, 10-month, night BPOC.  This Academy runs from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Thursdays and on Saturdays 7 am-4 pm. Hours can vary slightly depending on classes taught on any given day.

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.
