Civil Service Exam for Police Officers- June 8, 2024

The Kyle Police Officer Entrance Examination is governed by the Local Government Code Chapter 143, the Civil Service Commission Rules, and the Meet & Confer Agreement with the Kyle Police Association.

Steps needed to be eligible to take the Written Civil Service Exam:

Step One: Candidates must complete an application through the City of Kyle’s website at www.jointeamkyle.com. All required supporting documentation must be attached through the online application process by the application deadline - NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE ALLOWED.

What supporting documentation must be attached to the online application by the deadline?

• A copy of a valid Driver's License
• High School Diploma/Transcript or GED certificate with college transcript indicating at least 12 completed credit hours
• A copy of TCOLE license, diploma, or passing test scores - if applicable
• DD-214, Member 4 Page - if applicable

*** Applicants wanting to receive Military Service Credit of five (5) points added to their passing examination score of 70% or better, must also attach a copy of their DD-214 (Member 4 page) showing a minimum of 2 years of active duty military service with an honorable discharge from the United States Military Armed Forces. Any discharge other than an honorable discharge is not creditable for this purpose.  The DD-214 will not be accepted after the application deadline.

Step Two: The Human Resources Department will send a confirmation email to all applicants that have successfully completed Step One.  The confirmation email will provide information regarding the date, time, and location of the Physical Fitness Test and written Civil Service Examination which will both be administered on the same date.  The application process is not considered complete until the applicant receives a confirmation email.

Step Three:  Applicants must first pass the Physical Fitness Test in order to qualify for the Written Civil Service Exam that will be administered later in the day.  Candidates with a score of 70 or above on the written exam will be placed on the eligibility list in the highest final score order.  Candidates will be contacted in their order on the eligibility list to complete the remaining steps in the pre-employment process.
