MPA Physical Fitness Pre-Test
A recent change made by the Municipal Police Officers Education and Training Commission, dictates that we must also make an immediate change to our entrance procedure. The new procedure will take effect immediately.
Change
All applicants are required to take a 4 step physical fitness test. This consists of
| 1.5 mile Run | 13 minutes 22 seconds (Outdoor course) |
| 1 Minute Sit-ups | 35 Reps |
| Bench Press | 93% of body weight |
| 300 Meter Run | 62.1 Seconds (Outdoor course) |
The above scores are based on an 18-29 years-of-age male. Older and female
applicant’s results will be adjusted according to the Cooper Institute
of Aerobic Research. This PHYSICAL FITNESS PRE-TEST is scored at the 30th
percentile. However, if accepted into the Academy Program, cadets will receive
their final test at the 50th percentile.
If you have not participated in any physical activity in the immediate past, it is HIGHLY suggested that you start a program immediately. FAILURE IN ANY ONE AREA WILL DISQUALIFY YOU AS A CANDIDATE
