Pre-Hire Physical Agility Test - Asheville Police Department

[@123patrickb]

My only advice to anyone going to any academy is to be able to run at least 3 miles, do 30 pushups and 30 sit-ups. If you can you’ll be fine.

[@hjjjhjjj1799]

Look forward during pushups

James Leach How did it go for you?

[@prettyboyfredo4528]

James Leach cause I’m really nervous I’m a big boy and 6’2

The initial physical requirements seem quite easy. However, what is the police academy like? I'm built like a tank and I am deadly in a short sprint, lifting heavy objects, grappling, climbing, squatting...anything brute strength. I am not built for running long distances. I'm in very good shape, but running for long distances is definitely not one of my strong points. Standing 6'2" at around 245lbs and around 14% body fat, I consider myself to be fit...just not "running fit".

About to be doing this April 8th

I have been offered the chance to but I'm curious what time your supposed to run the mile and a half in.

[@nickminor10]

chris ramsey the fastest you can run it is 16:15 or faster and the slowest you can is 17:56

[@nickminor10]

chris ramsey where are you taking your test at?

[@freedomforall8342]

Court Plaza in Ashville. Where did you get the run time from?

[@henryt9281]

Wait, what percent effort are candidates expected to give each exercise? I don't think you mentioned it.

[@dbarshimon]

28806%

[@onlymemphis8100]

Why wouldn’t you give full effort?

[@bryangrogg999]

Was there a lot of math problems in the test you have to do before the academy during the application process

[@MrTrackman100]

Why only 5 laps for the 1.5 mile run? Each lap on the track is 1/4 mile (or 400m), so 6 laps is needed to make a complete 1.5 mile run.

[@ozz3790]

None of the videos like this one is telling anything about what s a great and/or average amount/time for sit ups/push ups, 1.5 mile run and 300 meters.... weird,,, is it secret ??? :)

[@dashunjones5595]

Thanks very helpful.

[@babafett85]

Five laps are you serious I literally just went to orientation they wanted me to do eight 🤬

[@dbarshimon]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@ozz3790]

If it s a proper running track, it should be 6 laps NOT 5. each lap is 400 meters. 6 times 400 equals 2.4 Km and that is 1.5 Miles

[@DTHopkins279]

So this all effort-based? No set amount of pushups or situps required?

[@sharmakefuture4469]

Ant that Super easy lol
