The exam is given within the 14-hour course and covers Oregon statutes (ORS) on arrest, force and common crimes, so close study of the manual matters.
How long is the Oregon DPSST training course?
The DPSST unarmed basic course is 14 hours, and those hours include the instruction, the written exam and assessments (OAR 259-060-0120(3)(a)). It covers regulations, civil and criminal law, use of force, communication, patrol and scene management, medical and fire response, and current trends such as active threats and bomb threats.
