AZPOST Comprehensive Final Exam (CFE)
The AZPOST Comprehensive Final Exam (CFE) is the comprehensive written examination required by Arizona Administrative Code R13-4-110 for certification as a full-authority peace officer in Arizona: a comprehensive test divided into three testing blocks, administered at Arizona law enforcement academies at the conclusion of the basic training curriculum, and — for previously certified or out-of-state/federal officers seeking certification by waiver — coordinated between the appointing Arizona agency and AZPOST as the written component of waiver testing.

- Category
- Law Enforcement & Corrections
- Current version
- AZPOST Comprehensive Final Exam (CFE) — the comprehensive examination required by AZPOST rule R13-4-110 for full-authority peace officer certification; no public blueprint edition or form code is published
- Where it applies
- US-AZ, United States
- Exam languages
- English
- Testing provider
- AZPOST — administered to academy recruits under AZPOST oversight (the Board's T.R.A.C. Unit ensures the Comprehensive Exams are administered to each recruit at the end of each training module), and in the waiver path coordinated between the appointing Arizona law enforcement agency and AZPOST
- Availability
- No public testing calendar: the Comprehensive Exams are administered at the conclusion of each of the three academy training modules; waiver written tests are scheduled case-by-case between the appointing agency and AZPOST once a candidate is found eligible
- Score validity
- For open-enrollment academy graduates, successful completion satisfies AZPOST basic-training competency for 12 months after graduation; a graduate not appointed by an agency within 12 months must retake the AZPOST Comprehensive Examinations (plus firearms, emergency/pursuit driving, and the POPAT physical test) to complete certification — no separate exam-score validity period is published
Exam structure
Comprehensive written test divided into three testing blocks; the blocks align with the three modules of the basic peace officer training curriculum, with a Comprehensive Exam administered at the conclusion of each of the three training modules (item counts and subject weighting per block are not published)
Where rules vary
Arizona statewide: AZPOST rules define the training and examination requirements for peace officer certification throughout the state and its political subdivisions; the same Comprehensive Final Exam requirement applies to every academy recruit and waiver candidate in Arizona.
Eligibility
Academy path: appointment by an Arizona law enforcement agency (or open-enrollment academy admission) and completion of the basic training course. Waiver path: prior honorable service as a peace officer with lapsed Arizona certification or another state/federal agency, training found substantially comparable by AZPOST, an agency-submitted waiver application found eligible, and completion of the three-part proficiency test (firearms qualification, tactical driving qualification, physical ability test) after appointment and before the written component
