Parole Agent Selection Process

Step I: Apply for the Exam
When the filing period is open for the Parole Agent I (PAI) examination, submit your application via the internet. 

• You must meet the minimum qualifications
• If you receive a passing score, select a date to take the PAI written test at one of the locations offered

Step II: Interview
Based on your written test score, you will be ranked with the other candidates in the selection process. If you are reachable on the hiring list (ranks 1-3), you will be eligible to be interviewed for a position with a parole unit. As agents are hired, ranks below 1-3 may become eligible for hire.

Step III: Additional Selection Components
If you receive and accept an offer of employment, you will be processed through the remaining selection components:

• Complete and submit your Personal History Statement for the background investigation
• Pre-Employment Medical Examination
• Oral Peace Officer Psychological Evaluation

Step IV: Parole Agent Academy
Once you successfully complete all selection components, you will be scheduled to attend a ten-week Parole Agent Academy.  You will receive a salary while in the academy. After graduating from the academy, you will start working for the parole unit with which you accepted employment.
