This allows those interested an opportunity, such as those out of state candidates, to complete one phase of the hiring process online. 

To register with NTN and schedule a test, go to www.nationaltestingnetwork.com, select ‘Find Jobs’, then select Law Enforcement Jobs and sign up for Bentonville Police Department.

  • Review detailed information about the testing process.
  • Review the Frequently Asked Questions and take an online practice test (if desired).

 Upon completion of your scheduled exam, scores are automatically forwarded to the Bentonville Police Department. Candidates who attain a passing score on the entry level exam will be placed on Bentonville Police Department’s eligibility list (testing completion).  The Bentonville Police Department will contact candidates on the list and will invite them to participate in further stages of the selection process.

 National Testing Network is a service provided to conduct entry level testing in a standardized, professional environment. National Testing Network does not replace the Bentonville Police Departments responsibility and decision making in the testing process.  All candidate results are provided to the Bentonville Police Department where the final decisions are made.
