The reasoned decision is notified without delay to the person concerned by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
At the end of the admission examinations, the jury lists, in order of merit, candidates declared admitted on the main list and on the supplementary list.
If several candidates total the same number of points, the priority is given to the one who has obtained the best rating in the No. 2 eligibility test on file and then, in case of new equality, to the one who obtained the admission at the stage, the best note in the interview with the jury.
Candidates employed as a police commissioner must meet the conditions of physical fitness defined by the above-mentioned order of August 2, 2010.
They must submit to the medical examinations and tests prescribed to them to establish that they meet the required fitness conditions.

OVERVIEW OF STRESS MANAGEMENT
This test aims to assess the candidate's ability to remain self-master, to reason, act and communicate in situations of stress.
A statement is forwarded to the candidate in a context related to the profession of a police officer. In keeping with this instruction, the candidate must make a blind journey guided by a thread of Ariane.
The test consists of:
― before the course, a visual memorization workshop;
― a "stress path" workshop composed of exercises using the candidate's cognitive, spatial and sensory abilities;
– an end of course formalized by two restitution exercises.
Before the course, the evaluator puts a mask obscuring the view of the candidate and leads him to the start. The stress situation is generated by the emergency instructions and the sensory deprivation of the view.
It is indicated to the candidate that the exercise is timed and that the entire test must be completed in a maximum of ten minutes.
At the end of the course, the candidate carries out at least two exercises:
― an exercise to restore the information provided by the evaluator;
― a space analysis exercise: the candidate realizes a two-dimensional diagram of the course he conducted, according to his perception. It indicates the approximate obstacles and distances.
The evaluator stops the chronometer once the exercises are completed. If the candidate has not finished after 10 minutes, he is terminated.
The test is scored on 20 (coefficient 2).
The evaluation grid takes into account: the execution time, the performance quality of the exercises and the conduct of the candidate.
