About the MO POST Exam
The Missouri Peace Officer License Exam (MPOLE) is administered by the Missouri POST Program (Department of Public Safety) to license peace officer candidates. The exam covers Missouri-specific criminal law, constitutional law, patrol operations, criminal procedure, use of force, traffic law, investigations, and professional ethics drawn from the POST mandatory basic training curriculum. Most candidates test after a POST-certified basic training course, though licensure can also be qualified through recognized federal, military, or out-of-state training or the Veteran Peace Officer Point Scale.
Exam sponsor: Missouri POST Program (Department of Public Safety). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

What is the Missouri POST exam?
The Missouri POST exam is the Missouri Peace Officer License Exam (MPOLE), the state licensing test administered by the Missouri POST Program (Department of Public Safety). It tests knowledge of Missouri criminal law, constitutional procedures, patrol operations, use of force, and professional standards required for a peace officer license. Applicants for Class R (reserve) and Class D licenses do not take the MPOLE (11 CSR 75-13.050).
How many questions are on the Missouri POST exam?
Missouri POST does not publish an official item count or time limit for the MPOLE; the current Peace Officer Licensing Handbook prints only sample multiple-choice items. The qualifying score is 70% correct, and you must achieve it within 120 days of applying for your peace officer license (11 CSR 75-13.050).
