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
