Basic Police Academy SB116 Registration Info/Checklist
Please do not begin any portion of the registration process until you have received test scores as follows:
- POST written exam T-score of 48 or higher
- WSTB physical agility minimum score of 320 and successful completion of 1.5 mile run
If you have entrance assessment scores from another agency, you must provide a copy of those scores. Passing scores must be dated within one year of the start date of your chosen Academy. For more info on entrance assessment exams, visit our website and click on Assessment Tests.
To register, you may phone in or bring in your deposit for the course (sorry, South Bay Regional does not accept personal checks). Submission of the following documents is required prior to the course; please adhere to all noted time specifications:
- Basic Academy Cover Sheet
- EVC College Registration
- Self Attestation Form
- Declaration
- DOJ — take this form to a Livescan location (use a law enforcement facility to avoid possible delays in your clearance). We need the original document that the DOJ will mail to you after your fingerprints are submitted; not the receipt the Livescan operator hands to you on the day they take your prints. Please be advised that the DOJ does not offer expedited services.
- Medical Exam Report and Physical Clearance Limitation Forms — take these pages to your physician no sooner than 30 days prior to the start date of your academy. Submit completed pages to The Academy as soon as possible after your medical exam.
In addition to receiving your deposit and the completed forms listed above, official acceptance into The Academy requires the following:
- Photocopy of your valid CA driver’s license
