RPD: Civil service test preparation

The Written Examination is the first step in the process of becoming a Rochester Police Officer. Your ultimate success in the examination is critical to continuing in the hiring process. The Rochester Police Department (RPD) Recruitment Unit has provided the NYS Police Officer Study Guide to help candidates prepare for the upcoming Written Examination.     

Applicants can also click here for Test Guides for NYS Examinations and resource booklets. This should provide an insight into the type of questions commonly found in the Police Officer Written Examination and may be similar to those administered in the actual Written Examination for Police Officers.
