Applicants must pass each section of the selection process to the satisfaction of the Coral Gables Police Department and the City of Coral Gables.  Applicants will be given an initial opportunity to take the T.A.B.E., F.B.A.T. and Physical Ability Tests.  There will be only one retest given for failed tests (T.A.B.E., F.B.A.T. & Physical Ability) during the same application process.  All retests must be completed within one year of the initial examination and retests will be scheduled at the discretion of the Coral Gables Police Department.  Applicants must submit in writing their request to take any retests.  An applicant may be required to retake any portion of the examination process or the post conditional job offer process should discrepancies arise indicating such action be in the best interest of the Coral Gables Police Department.

Any applicant for the position of Police Officer who does not pass any part of the selection procedure, and is disqualified, may reapply at the next regular application phase.
