Having done a similar test (the PREP) with ex-military personnel, it is surprisingly difficult even for conditioned individuals such as them.

no sir

omid taab why is that ?

@@jaysingh6418 i failed the interviews

+shay ewing Nope, it's actually recommended that you skip steps to save time.

Hm when we were taught u had to make sure your foot touched each one. Lol weird.

+shay ewing maybe it's recent, but in the instructions it says "The participant must run up and down the stairs, touching at least one step on the way up, the top platform, and one step on the way down" so the minimum is three steps

Firefighters have to hit every step in their fitness testings

I understand it’s only one step on the way up and one on way down

+D Rogers oh I see... Thanks.

Yeah makes sense

Thats one of the test requirement, you also have a run, push ups, pull ups, sit up test

abegailgee25 I dont think so man.

abegailgee25 as long as you fit the strength and endurance you can join. I know an RCMP that is around 5'3

Your comment to me personally shows how little you know about policing in general. During Depot you are trained In self defense (which includes hand to hand training, use of force tools and conflict resolution ). The PARE test originated from testing prisoners general strength and aerobic abilities and it is a good preliminary requirement in order to pass the "basic training" during Depot; It simulates a real world scenario where you are running, jumping, pushing, pulling while being physically tired. As far as "officers today rely more heavily on fire power" I disagree... Officers are trained in lethal force levels which includes many tools to use before resorting to their pistol; most officers go through their entire career not using it once and many officers have excellent communication skills which is their biggest "weapon". - I am not a Police Officer.

Actually I know quite a bit about policing in particular. I also make this statement form the stand point of individuals and as a group of officers who share my opinion. Yes, physical training is good as well as good health but the focus should not be on that. Not enough consistent training at Depot in terms of armed and unarmed is my point. When you get there and have pulled a 16 and keep on going you will tell me how that physical training was useful to you. It's about what you know. Simple as that. When you have no energy, that is what kicks in.

So you are not for PARE reform, yet you advocate communication as a police officers greatest weapon. The PARE representing real world situation is a bit far fetched considering most encounters are handled by communication and even far less are handled by any sort of pursuit. It's a very old and outdated model.

+EbbWeaver It is an old model that needs to be reformed.

They should force officers to pass the PARE every 6 months or be put on suspension until they do pass. They should also provide free memberships to Muay Thai, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling academies to promote more of a martial arts mindset when conducting themselves on the job. IT would eliminate fear, officers would have more self control and confidence, and they would be physically capable of apprehending pretty much any body and controlling almost all situations without the use of deadly force. The PARE is a good test, maybe not the best (I prefer ATS PREP where you need to wear a vest and belt) but it's still something that weeds out a lot of people who probably shouldn't be cops lol.
