About this file
This is a testing material document from the Gainesville Florida Police Department outlining the 2025 written examination plan for Corporal and Sergeant promotional positions. The examination covers five primary content areas: Legal Standards (including the United States Bill of Rights, Florida State Statutes, and City of Gainesville Ordinances); Correct/Safe Use of Equipment (addressing weapons, department property, vehicles, and body-worn cameras); Investigations/Interviews (covering investigative procedures, evidence handling, and specialized investigations); General Orders/Policies/Procedures (encompassing department conduct, traffic enforcement, and administrative requirements); and Leadership. The document specifies the applicable Florida statutes and GPD general orders that will be tested, including those addressing assault, battery, theft, weapons carry, sexual battery, search and seizure, arrest procedures, vehicle pursuit, domestic violence investigations, evidence collection, and property control. The written examination will consist of 100 multiple-choice items as part of a comprehensive promotional testing process that extends through July 31, 2027, with an optional one-year extension through July 31, 2028. Candidates must submit proposals by January 26, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. through the City's OpenGov procurement portal, with a mandatory pre-solicitation meeting required for all vendor participation.
The testing materials document references multiple agreements affecting administrative practices, including the October 2024 through September 2027 Fraternal Order of Police agreement and supervisory and non-supervisory communications worker agreements. The City of Gainesville is implementing living wage requirements with rates available on the City's website and will process reimbursable travel expenses according to City policies and standard GSA rates. Vendors must demonstrate at least three years of experience in police promotional processes and comply with Consolidated State Law Affidavit requirements addressing E-Verify employment verification, anti-human trafficking provisions, and foreign country restrictions. The City offers local and small business participation opportunities with potential preference for vendors holding a valid City of Gainesville business tax receipt issued at least six months prior to bid opening and maintaining a physical business address within city limits, with additional opportunities for Small or Service-Disabled Veteran Business enterprises.
