The examination consists of a pass/fail Physical Ability Test and a written test weighted 100%. A minimum rating of 70% must be attained to be placed on the eligible list. All competitors must subsequently pass a background investigation, medical examination, and psychological evaluation prior to appointment to the SAHP Academy.
Application
Applicants are required to submit an application, which will be reviewed by the Recruiting Unit. Candidates who successfully pass this stage will advance to the Written Examination.
Written Examination
The written test is designed to measure the candidate's ability to read and understand written communications, and to write clearly using correct grammar and spelling. A minimum score of 70% is required to pass. Candidates who pass will be invited to attend the Physical Ability Test.
Physical Ability Test
This pass/fail test consists of physical ability exercises that measure endurance, flexibility, and strength.
(( The Physical Ability Test is not conducted in-game; however, it remains an in-character requirement of the hiring process. Candidates are expected to roleplay the completion of all physical components as part of their application progression. ))
Background Investigation
The SAHP conducts a complete background investigation to determine the candidate's suitability to become a peace officer. This includes verification of the information supplied in the application, a review of driving, criminal, employment, and medical history, and a truth verification examination.
Medical Examination & Psychological Evaluation
Candidates must be found medically fit by a licensed physician, and free from any mental or emotional condition which would impair job performance, as determined by a psychological evaluation consisting of written exercises and a clinical interview.
(( Both the Medical Examination and Psychological Evaluation are not conducted in-game. Candidates are expected to roleplay these stages as part of the in-character hiring process. ))
SAHP Academy
Successful candidates will attend a 28-week live-in Academy consisting of theoretical classroom learning and practical scenario-based training. Training is broken into blocks with an end-of-module examination at the end of each block, and a final examination at the end of the Academy which determines whether you graduate.
(( The SAHP Academy is not conducted in-game as an interactive session. Candidates are required to roleplay their participation and completion of the Academy as part of the in-character training process. ))
Post Academy Examination
Candidates will sit the Post Academy Examination at the conclusion of the Academy. Those who achieve a passing score will be promoted from Cadet to Officer and will be invited to attend the Field Training Program.
AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION CRITERIA
During the selection process, each candidate will be evaluated to determine whether they possess the personal characteristics required for employment as a law enforcement officer. The recency of an indiscretion is a critical consideration in evaluating whether a candidate has matured or learned from the experience. The following may warrant automatic disqualification:
- Drug Use: Use of any controlled substance deemed unlawful under the statutes of the State of San Andreas, based primarily on the type of substance and the timeframe involved.
- Misdemeanor Conviction: Conviction of a misdemeanor relating to driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, including where the charge was reduced to Reckless Driving.
- Felony Conviction: Any felony conviction. A conviction that has been expunged and/or sealed may still be cause for disqualification.
Any of the following behaviors or shortcomings may be considered sufficient grounds for disqualification of an applicant at any stage of the recruitment process.
- Actual or attempted use of any method to obtain an advantage to which they are not rightfully entitled in an assessment or appointment.
- Obtaining, disclosing, or disseminating confidential test content and/or interview questions for the current recruitment or any prior recruitments with the intent of providing someone with an unfair advantage in the recruitment process.
- Participating in compiling, administering, scoring or correction of the assessment for a recruitment in which they are an applicant.
- Failure to disclose any issue which may be and/or may lead to an actual or perceived conflict of interest in the recruitment (e.g., familial, personal, and/or financial relationship with an individual involved in the recruitment process).
- Conviction of any crime which renders the person unsuitable for a position in law enforcement as provided under the law.
- False statements of material facts or attempted deception in the application, assessment, or interview.
