does Danbury use the CPAT for the physical?

[CHIEFPHIL 90]

I spoke with my contact at DFD today, he told me that the $ 75 fee includes taking the CPAT. After the written test they will send you to the test. That is the info I got this morning. Although, he did tell me it would be a good idea to have a current cpat card... he did not have a time frame as to how long they would honor, or even if they would honor existing cards.
