About the MT POST Exam
Montana certifies peace officers through the Public Safety Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council. After being hired, an officer must complete the council-approved basic course, such as the 12-week Law Enforcement Officer Basic Course at the Montana Law Enforcement Academy, within one year, and receives the basic certificate after at least one year with the appointing agency. The course covers law and criminal procedure, human behavior, patrol operations, traffic enforcement, investigations, survival skills, and health and wellness.
Exam sponsor: Montana POST Council (certification); Montana Law Enforcement Academy (basic course). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
