Colorado POST Peace Officer Vocabulary Game

Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.

There are 4 games built on 20 CO POST terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.

OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Board content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.

The written POST certification examination costs $150, payable by cashier's check, money order, agency check, or through the POST Payment Portal before the exam date. Personal checks and cash are not accepted. A full one-day test out for provisional or renewal applicants costs $525 in total: $125 for each of the three skills tests plus $150 for the written exam.

Colorado POST does not publish a percentage cut score for the certification examination. POST Rule 15(f) states that POST sets a passing score reflecting minimally competent entry-level performance, using national testing standards, on a score scale that runs from 0 to 100. The 70% figure repeated on many prep sites is POST Rule 1's definition of successful completion of academy coursework, not the certification-exam cut score.
