The exam is free to attend, and you do not need to be an active applicant in our recruitment process to test with our agency and receive a PelletB score. Limited seating is available.

The PELLETB is a multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank written examination designed to measure reading and writing ability. Applicants are given 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the PELLETB.

While test takers may take the PELLET B multiple times to achieve the desired score, California POST prohibits test takers from testing more than one time in a 30-day period. Taking the test within 30 days of a prior POST PELLETB examination will result in invalidation of test results.

To comply with California POST security measures, we are required to view your government-issued photo ID for the exam.

Please plan to arrive on time. Check-in is at 9:00 am and the event will begin promptly at 9:15am. Recruiters from the Police Department will be on hand to answer questions and speak to the event attendees with a presentation prior to the test.
