Dear Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in employment with the United States Park Police. The following
information will assist you with planning your arrival to the test site. Arrive early for parking and security
arrangements. THIS PROCESS CAN TAKE UP TO 8 HOURS TO COMPLETE. BRING SOMETHING
TO EAT SINCE LEAVING THE PROCESSING FACILITY IS NOT PERMITTED DURING TESTING.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU REVIEW THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY AND
IMMEDIATELY.
When you arrive at the designated facility you will be required to complete a Physical Efficiency
Battery (PEB). The PEB is a physical fitness screening test designed to determine if you are
physically able to perform the duties of a police officer. We recommend that you wear comfortable
exercise clothing. You are required to bring a pair of non-marking court shoes and a pair of
running shoes. YOU MUST ALSO BRING YOUR SIGNED AND DATED PHYSICIAN’S CONSENT

the first letter of your last name

While you are completing the PEB, members of our Human Resources Office will review your Personal
Qualification Statement (Form 10-2201) for completion and for clarification of any issues or questions
resulting from answers you provided.
After successfully completing this phase, you will be scheduled for a written examination at a later
date. Further processing will depend upon your overall scores. You will be notified of future processing
steps if you qualify.
Candidates who pass all phases of the process will be considered along with other qualified candidates
for the position of Recruit Park Police Officer.
If you fail to respond to the PEB test, your name will be removed from our register and you will no
longer be considered for a police officer position with the United States Park Police under the current
announcement. It is your responsibility to keep our office informed of any changes that will
impede our qualification review processes (i.e. current work, address and telephone numbers).
If you have any questions, please contact our Human Resources Office at [insert telephone number]
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Sincerely,
