Chicago Announces Dates for Upcoming Police Officer Entry Exams

police exam

Chicago announced Friday that it plans to host in-person police officer entry exams this weekend across several city locations.

The exams will be conducted at all City College of Chicago locations, officials said, with anyone between the ages of 18 and 39 eligible to apply.

"The Department is seeking effective problem-solvers, critical thinkers, and good communicators with the ability to interact with all members of the community and perform the role safely, effectively, and following local, state, and federal law as well as CPD policy and procedures," CPD said in a release.

The exams come at a challenging time for the city and department amid an ongoing battle over a city employee vaccine mandate, which continues to play out it city courts. Chicago Police Supt. David Brown reported earlier this week that 21 officers had been placed on no-pay status as a result of failure to put their information into the city’s vaccination portal. He emphasized, however, that there have been no staffing shortages that have resulted in those officers being temporarily removed from the force.

According to the city, each exam date will feature a morning session and an afternoon session. Morning session doors open at 8 a.m. and close at 8:30 a.m. and afternoon session doors open at 1:30 p.m. and close at 2 p.m.

The times, locations and dates include:
