WHAT'S NEW AT PST

Celebrating 25 Years of PST

Public Safety Testing was founded in 2000 with a simple idea - that the hiring process for public safety could be made more efficient, accessible, and effective for both agencies and candidates. By March 2001, we launched our first testing events, and the journey took off. Twenty-five years later, we’re proud to continue that mission - partnering with hundreds of departments and serving tens of thousands of candidates. To our agency partners, candidates, and the PST team - past and present - thank you for being part of this journey. Your trust, dedication, and shared commitment have made these 25 years possible. We look forward to the next chapter of growth, service, and innovation together.
