Physical Fitness Requirements
Law Enforcement is a physically demanding career, and training must prepare candidates for these challenges. Candidates must report to training in good physical condition with no medical problems which would prohibit them from engaging in rigorous physical activity. As a minimum guideline before enrolling in the Basic Peace Officer Training Program, candidates should be able to perform the following:
- 1.5 mile run in under 18 minutes
- 15 push-ups in one minute
- 24 sit-ups in one minute
Physical Agility Tests Students should be prepared to meet the minimum physical agility requirements before enrolling in the Basic Peace Officer Training - Module I class:
99 Yard Obstacle Course: Candidates run a 99 yard obstacle course consisting of several sharp turns, a number of curb height obstacles, and a 34 inch high obstacle that must be vaulted.
Body Drag: Candidates must drag a 165 pound dummy the distance of 32 feet.
Chain Link Fence: Candidates run 5 yards to a 6-foot chain link fence, climb over the fence, continue running another 25 yards.
Solid Fence Climb: Candidates run 5 yards to a 6-foot solid fence, climb over the fence, and continue running another 25 yards.
500 Yard Run: Candidates must run 500 yards (equivalent to 1 lap plus 60 yards of a standard running track).
Test Scoring Precedure: Your performance on each individual exercise will be timed twice (with the exception of the 500 yard run - timed only once). Your fastest score will be used to determine your results. Timed scores will be converted to points and the sum of these points will be used to obtain a final score. (Scoring the test in this matter will, as opposed to scoring each individual exercise on a pass/fail basis, allow you to compensate for performing less than optimally on one exercise by performing extremely well on other exercises.)
