Law enforcement candidates can take two Bellevue Police Department hiring exams at City Hall on Nov. 22.
A written exam and a physical ability test (PAT) will both be offered at Bellevue City Hall, 450 110th Ave NE. The department announced the exams in a post on X, directing applicants to register through Public Safety Testing.
The two tests run on separate schedules and require separate sign-ups. The written exam begins with check-in at 8:30 a.m. and a 9:30 a.m. start, with candidates advised to allow four to five hours. The PAT follows with check-in at 12:30 p.m. and a 12:45 p.m. start, lasting two to three hours. The PAT costs $33.
Seats are limited: 54 for the written exam and 77 for the PAT.
Both tests require a valid government-issued photo ID. For the written exam, candidates must bring a notarized Applicant Liability Waiver and Release Agreement. Electronic devices, bags, hats, watches and other personal items are prohibited in the written testing area.
Most PAT events are held outdoors, according to Public Safety Testing, and the facility may have limited cover.
One open Bellevue PD position, the Exceptional Police Officer role listed on GovernmentJobs.com, pays $100,259 to $128,402 a year and offers up to a $10,000 hiring bonus. That role requires a current peace officer certificate with fewer than two consecutive years of experience.
