You may schedule your testing by going to the NTN website: https://nationaltestingnetwork.com/ Candidates do not have to wait to be notified to complete the tests.

The INITIAL INTERVIEW will include a meeting with a background investigator to have your photo taken, review the SPH and provide instructions on what documents need to be ordered. Background investigations may run concurrently with other testing processes. Background investigations are comprehensive, therefore they can average six (6) to eight (8) weeks to complete.

This may occur prior to, during, or after any of the testing phases and/or placement on the eligibility register. RECRUITING QUESTIONS?
