Physical Agility Test – Training Requirement

When looking for a law enforcement Job, all candidates should prepare themselves for the physical agility test. Waiting for last minute to get in shape , is a sure way of losing a potential job. As part of the requirements to become a law enforcement officer, all candidates must satisfactorily complete a physical agility test.  Although the chart below provides you with the requirements for a physical agility test, it does not encompass all physical agility tests given by different law enforcement agencies. Some agencies in New York State uses the test below, while others will modify it to meet their standards. For example, the New York State Court Officer physical ability test is almost completely different. That test consists of a Leg Lift, Arm Endurance, Pull-Up Trainer, Arm Lift, Leg Endurance, Sit-Ups, Arm-Hand Steadiness and a Step Test. However, this is a very good place to start. If you are trying to get into a specific department, you should contact them to inquire about their requirements. Remember, before you start any physical training, you should visit your doctor first to make sure that you are healthy enough to complete that training.
