Description & Eligibility Information

The Physical Abilities Test consists of a series of events simulating a police officer's activites.

Duties & Examination Subjects

Obstacle Course


This event simulates the actions necessary to pursue and "takedown" a suspect. The event begins with an obstacle course where the candidate will be faced with climbing under an obstacle, climbing up and down steps, going through an open window, climbing over a wall and negotiating a series of cones arranged in a zigzag pattern. At the end of the course, the candidate will be required to grab hold of a weighted bag attached to a pulley and touch it to the ground. The candidate will then immediately move around the Power Station to the handcuffing simulation where he/she will be required to pull on two hand levers until the cable hits the stop. This completes the event. The time limit is 130.4 seconds.

 

The Trigger Pull Event


This event consists of raising a handgun and squeezing the trigger six (6) times with each hand. The time limit is 7.1 seconds. 

The Separation Event

The candidate will be required to pull a hanging bag backward touching it to the ground across a marked line. Candidates will have to perform two "pulls". The time limit is 14.2 seconds. 

The Dummy Drag


This event simulates dragging a victim or suspect. Candidates will be required to drag a dummy over a straight course. The time limit is 11 seconds.
