How do the KS POST vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 KS 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.
Where do the KS POST terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center (KLETC) for the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers' Standards and Training (KSCPOST) content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the Kansas POST exam?
Kansas has no separate commission-run POST exam. Certification by the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers' Standards and Training (KSCPOST) requires completing a basic training course, whose written and performance tests are given by the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center (KLETC); officers trained elsewhere take KLETC's reciprocity or challenge written exam.
How many questions are on the Kansas POST exam?
KLETC does not publish a question count. The basic-training final written test is scheduled for 2 hours, and the reciprocity and challenge written exams require a score of at least 70%.
