The Physical Competency Test, more intense physical training with our main man Ken Franks, and a little catch up with Laura, Sam, and Danny - see how our recruits are doing 5 weeks into Police College!

[@joshjbradburn]

What was the maximum time frame for the physical?

[@Bruce_T]

It depends on the recruits age and gender. If you're 18 and Male it's 2:04. If you're 18 and Female it's 2:06. For Males, it always goes up by 2 seconds for each age group you ascend by, for Females it varies between 2 - 3 seconds for each age group you ascend by e.g. 2:39 -> 2:41 -> 2:43 -> [2:46

Hey Josh - if you skip to 1:30 on this video: www.newcops.co.nz/file/pct-test - you'll find the chart that lists time allocation for your age and gender :)

I'm a kid and ahh.. it seems pretty medium. I heard you need to do 34 push ups!! Probably because I am a kid and when I'm older it's easier.

[@Cenosillicaphobia]

whilst your comment is somewhat true, it does all depend on what kind of activity you do day to day (personally I do a lot of lifting/picking up of items, which does work certain muscles, however they aren't the same muscles used to do push ups) when you look at the requirements that the police need you to fulfill, you'll see it's not as easy as it seems
