Physical Standards |
The Physical Standards Testing consists of the following two separate physical fitness events, and candidates must pass each event in order to remain eligible for hire. Both events must be successfully completed during the same day, and the run must be successfully completed before the candidate attempts the physical agility test.
All events are graded pass/fail and are age and gender neutral. Candidates will perform each event wearing his/her issued equipment – body armor, if issued, duty belt, if issued, and simulated weapons for each mission. Candidates may run the course in PT gear.
Event 1: Endurance Run
The Endurance Run simulates the pursuit of a fleeing suspect over a distance of one-quarter mile. This event will also include ascending and descending one flight of stairs. Applicants must complete this event in 2 minutes, 30 seconds or less.
