The Independence Police Department offers full testing services through National Testing Network, Inc. (NTN). To schedule a test, go to www.nationaltestingnetwork.com, select Law Enforcement, and sign up for the Independence, Oregon Police Department. Upon completion of the entry level exam and ORPAT testing, all candidate scores are automatically forwarded to the Independence Police Department. Candidates who attain a passing score on both the entry level exam and ORPAT will be placed on the department's eligibility list.

The Independence Police Department will contact candidates on this list to invite them to continue the selection process.

If you have already completed the ORPAT and/or the Police Officer Selection Test with another agency within the last year, you may submit those results on agency letterhead in lieu of testing with NTN.
