About this file
This is a testing material attachment for the Gainesville Police Department's 2025 promotional examination process for the ranks of Corporal and Sergeant. The document outlines the comprehensive written test plan that candidates will be assessed on, covering five primary knowledge domains: Legal Standards, Correct and Safe Use of Equipment, Investigations and Interviews, General Orders/Policies/Procedures, and Leadership. Legal Standards encompasses the United States Bill of Rights, Florida State Statutes covering crimes from assault to theft, City of Gainesville ordinances related to alcoholic beverages, noise, offenses, and peddlers/solicitors. The Correct and Safe Use of Equipment section addresses GPD General Orders governing weapons, department property, vehicle systems, body-worn cameras, computer systems, vehicles, and speed measurement devices. The Investigations and Interviews domain covers extensive GPD General Orders and protocols related to police-citizen encounters, bias-based profiling, mental health crisis response, sexual battery investigations, domestic violence, child abuse, evidence collection, and digital evidence procedures, among numerous other investigative protocols.
The General Orders/Policies/Procedures section requires knowledge of arrest procedures, resistance response, command and control, physical fitness requirements, overtime, employee conduct, harassment policies, traffic enforcement, and hate crimes. Additionally, candidates will be tested on approximately 40 Legal Bulletins issued between 2015 and 2025 addressing topics such as cannabis odor identification, nuisance abatement, hotel evictions, firearms in vehicles, Baker Act procedures, qualified immunity, and traffic stop protocols. The test plan also includes a Leadership domain based on Chief Moya's Memo 2024-02 and an Administrative Practices section covering three collective bargaining agreements: one with the Fraternal Order of Police (Gator Lodge 67 Inc.) effective October 2024 through September 2027, and two with the Communications Workers of America representing non-supervisory and supervisory units with terms from January 2022 through December 2024 and January 2025 through December 2027, respectively. The specific number of questions allocated to each knowledge domain is referenced but not detailed in this attachment.
