[@nixwaterspirit]

@@moyo5509 I agree with your point on not being a fan of unqualified cops and sometimes question if many of the current officers are even qualified anymore. I do think there should be some sort of standard set, mostly a physical bar if they're going to be going to scenes and dealing with things in person. We need capable individuals who can handle particular circumstances where they're required, and it's helpful to get different perspectives to approach most cases. Maybe there can be different standards for different police roles, since there are different positions and types of cases anyways

For everyone wondering, the heels for the Sit & Reach test are positioned at the 26cm position.

[@piquelle2774]

I just found a post from OPP with the same number I've been looking for that info for weeks

Why do people have to be in good shape to become a Police Officer but many are allowed to get out of shape,why aren't they made to pass the test at least every couple yrs

[@nisaac1216]

Yah it makes no sense🤣

[@Izzyjixso]

Late reply, but you actually are incentivized by retaking it every year and passing. It should be more of a mandatory thing at least until a certain age especially as an officer who’s on his feet/patrolling officer.

Are u preparing for pin test

[@Mcp3nny]

I would like to set up the sit and stretch but I am not sure where you are placing the ruler as a starting point . Calf? Mid calf?

[@user-rr1bg3ib5w]

I don't get why it's called the core endurance test. It should be called the spinal erector test. Cause that's what it being tested.

[@tahah.babikir7698]

Are you a cop yet?

[@faithrose9430]

The test is named the 'core endurance test' because it assesses the endurance of multiple muscle groups within the core, not just the spinal erectors. While the spinal erectors are important for maintaining spinal alignment and posture, the core includes a range of muscles such as the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, obliques, and stabilizing muscles in the pelvis and hips. These muscles work together to provide stability and support during movement. By naming it the 'core endurance test,' it acknowledges the comprehensive nature of the test, which evaluates the endurance of all these core muscles, not just the spinal erectors.

Thanks you for this! Very helpful and I am definitely motivated to do my best!

did you do the ontario police college? I am starting my police foundations course May 4, and will have to do my ontario police college once I am done! How was it?

[@ramosmiguel1977]

On the Sit & Reach, what is the mark on the tape on the sole of the feet? 26 cm?

[@rezakazemi6270]

My question as well. Unluckily all available videos only REPEAT the same content but don’t give new information

18cm

[@rezakazemi6270]

I have a question. In the forward flexion, if I stretch & touch my toe what is the cm? Is it start at 0 to say 50 cm or not; I want to measure my flexibility but don’t know how to regarding measurement. I think that from the sole of the feet in a sitting position is 0 and if I stretch farther say 5cm, it would be +5 and if I have 5 cm close to touching my toe, it would be-5.

[@AndrewS-is5fe]

I have confirmation that the heels for the Sit & Reach touch the 26cm position.

[@chlomyster8526]

The flexability one is redundant unless your applying for professional dance, ballerina etc lol A swim test should be included.

[@kurtis2884]

How many centimetres from the tip of the ruler to the base line does your legs have to be on the sit and reach.

[@rezakazemi6270]

My question too

[@AndrewS-is5fe]

Your heels are at the 26cm mark.

For the beep test is it 2 faults back to back or 2 faults at anytime before being disqualified?

[@PoacherOnline]

Back to back I guess

[@SpikeLee3496]

2 faults in total.

No they have to be back to back faults, so you could fault/pass/fault and be fine

To what level for the shuttle run ?

[@madisonquinn7954]

7 for police 5.5 for special constable I believe

[@akshitharsh4315]

How many Push ups?

[@wadgod466]

So for the shuttle run, does your score out of 50 depend on what level you reach? Or is there a standard level you must reach to get 50/50?. For example I heard that you must reach level 9 on the shuttle run to pass and if you do not you fail and get 0/50. Is this true? Or is it scored based on whichever level you reach? Thanks

[@harjassingh8294]

WadGod the exact requirements are listed if you search “pin test requirements” on google, should be the first link. It breaks down all the stats.

[@STOP4ASEC]

Well I think they actually tell you to make sure you practice to reach level 9. So that during the exam you can reach level 7 easily. There is the different things that effect how you perform. For me it was and is my anxiety which does to some degree effect the pace at which you perform. And what I heard on information session from OPP , Toronto, Halton and Waterloo Police services its to get 75 % total combined in the Pin Test. its not like one component. The 7 level shuttle run is running for 1.4 miles on a speed of 7.2 miles on a treadmill for 10 mins 30 seconds I think. If you just wanna reach till level 7 and not till 9. Try to run while wearing a weighted vest. I started from 12 pounds and went to 22 pounds of vest. And during testing it was like piece of cake. Because your heart is more stronger because of that extra weight it has been training with. But then again everyone is different. I hope everything goes well for you. All the best !

[@sjlcanada]

looks like im staying with contract services for a while. .....

[@DatCanadien]

So this training is sexist?

[@kraken21990]

The scoring system is kinda dumb. If your a woman you don't need to do real push ups and if you're old than you don't need to do as much. Plus flexibility doesn't really matter at all what should be tested is range of motion in case of health conditions that might limit the potential recruit. You can cater to age and gender but out in the real world won't. When a 245lb gorilla of a man is coming at your officer and your officer gets hurt you have your negligent testing criteria partially to blame.

[@kraken21990]

@@moyo5509 Exactly, it's not sexist to say MOST women don't have the physical aptitude to be a police officer. I say most because there are certainly women out there that can kick the shit out of me but giving women easier requirements isn't how you get capable women to be police officers, it's how like you said you get the cheer leading squad to be officers.

[@AndrewS-is5fe]

Flexibility does and will matter when you're weighted down with equipment and develop back issues due to bad hamstrings.

[@froggythekid7715]

I identify as female so ill rest on my knees and do the 38 half push-ups like the chick's lmfao.

[@moizkhan8057]

If women are performing the same duties as men, then why are they allowed to do some pathetic pushups. Will these women be paid less? What happened to no discrimination and equal rights by doing equally tough tasks. I was told that women can do everything men can.. Why let the women show that they are weaker by letting them do sissy pushups. Double standards

[@sandyslegodollsandbeyond7811]

As a female going into police training, I'm quite relieved that I won't be doing the male push ups. I 've been training as male push ups at home so I'm still as strong as the guys. Besides I'm not letting a test tell me I'm not strong; I know that and that's enough.

[@moizkhan8057]

@@sandyslegodollsandbeyond7811 Sandy, there is no such thing as male pushup and female push up - there is only push-ups! Pushups and modified push ups, that is about it. You are relieved that you have to do an easier task, but you will cry foul if they pay you less for doing less. If you truly get in to a confrontation with a strong individual, there is no modified push uo thats going to save you. Training hard and the right way is the only way. I'm just shocked that women want equal rights but then they also want things easier....
