Law Enforcement Physical Readiness Standard
The Department of Justice requires all Law Enforcement students - Academy and Certification Track - to pass two fitness tests.
- The pre-fitness test must be completed within 180 days of the first day of the Academy, or for Associate Degree students, before the first day of the second semester.
- Students must turn in a copy of the pre-test completion certificate to the Public Safety Office before the designated deadline.
- A student will have as many opportunities as available to participate in the full fitness pre-test.
- Failure of one event in the test will result in a failure of the whole test.
- The post-exam is covered in class at the end of the program.
- Students who fail the post-exam are allowed one retake opportunity. Failure of the retake results in failure of the program.
- The Department of Justice has provided a video of how each event of the fitness test is completed. View the video here: https://vimeo.com/195826724
