The written exam is made up of four separately timed test sections. Though most of the questions in this test battery relate to law enforcement duties, no prior knowledge of law or law enforcement is needed to answer the questions. Applicants who have taken the written exam no more than six months prior to the application close date, and whose test was proctored by a Montana Law Enforcement Agency may submit those scores in lieu of re-taking the exam with the PPD. However, the scores must be received from the original testing agency or verified by that agency. These applicants also have the option of taking the exam with the PPD to improve their scores. Applicants who are already Montana Public Safety Officer Standards & Training (POST) Peace Officer Certified are exempt from the written testing. The Montana Physical A ilities Test (MPAT) is designed to replicate critical and essential physical tasks and demands faced by law enforcement officers in the normal performance of their duties.
