Testing is offered several times a year, typically on the third Thursday of each month. For testing, you will need to complete a physical test following the Wyoming Law Enforcement Academy fitness standards. Then you must pass an oral board. Once you successfully complete the testing process (NTN test, physical test, oral board) you will be placed on a hiring list. If your score is high enough you will then move into the background phase. This will include a background investigation, medical exam, psychological exam, polygraph, and interview with the chief.
