Brevard Police Testing Center

BPTC is administered through an agreement with Eastern Florida State College. BPTC is funded through a surcharge on criminal and civil fines levied in Brevard County and by user fees for testing and records checks. Because of this funding structure BPTC provides its services without additional taxpayer funding. BPTC also pays Eastern Florida State College for office space and the cost of administration with no expenses borne by EFSC or the Florida College System.

BPTC evaluates the fitness of a candidate's certification standards and background for admission to the law enforcement academy or equivalency training, but final admission to any Eastern Florida State College program is the prerogative of the college. Application to Eastern Florida State College is a separate process that must be initiated by the applicant.

BPTC Is Not A Job Placement Service.

Successful completion of the Brevard Police Testing Center background and screening process does not guarantee employment as a law enforcement officer, nor does it guarantee an employment interview. It is the applicant's responsibility to submit applications to the appropriate human resources office of each agency of interest, if that agency accepts applications directly. Agency recruiters regularly review open applicant files and may choose to contact selected applicants directly; however, BPTC participating agencies are under no obligation to contact any particular applicant. Applicants are encouraged to contact the agencies of interest to them and arrange for tours, ride-alongs, and meetings with recruiters as the agency permits.
