Chicago police exam practice test

The Chicago Police Department is the third-largest municipal police agency in the United States. City-specific pages often surface faster than ultra-broad national queries—so we offer this free 40-question skills practice for candidates targeting CPD or similar Illinois municipal exams, using the same reading, math, reasoning, and judgment building blocks many written tests share.

Independent prep from Civil Service Exam. We are not affiliated with the Chicago Police Department, the City of Chicago, or the Civilian Office of Police Accountability. Your official CPD / city exam notice controls format and content.
