Working with C.H.I.P. helps police departments save the time and expense involved in operating their own assessment program. There is no cost to the municipality when candidates test with C.H.I.P., unless a municipality has an ordinance that prohibits fees charged to candidates.

Becoming a participating department with C.H.I.P. means that you have access to a wider pool of candidates who have met the state physical ability standard within six months of your job posting. Candidates who possess a C.H.I.P. Card are qualified to apply at any of the police departments that work with C.H.I.P..

C.H.I.P. will make every attempt to accommodate your department’s hiring process and schedule. We will provide a mobile service and, with your department’s assistance, we will test at an appropriate facility in your community.

C.H.I.P. assessments comply with the guidelines set forth by the Connecticut Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council. With C.H.I.P. handling all physical assessment testing, your department can focus on interviewing and evaluating applicants that have already met the physical ability requirements for the State of Connecticut.
