The POPAT is the Police Officers Physical Abilities Test. It is important that applicants are in good physical shape. The POPAT will put applicants through a series of physical tests/obstacles that mimic on-the-job physical demands. These obstacles must be completed in less than 4 minutes and 45 seconds or less in order to be accepted.

Applicants are required to run the POPAT successfully twice prior to attending Police College – once in the initial recruitment process and a second time 30 days prior to college.

The 4:45 time is a minimum requirement and those who attend Police College must run the POPAT again in under 4 minutes and 15 seconds in order to graduate. Therefore, we recommend training to the 4:15 standard or less during the initial application process.

It is important to start training as soon as possible for the POPAT— ideally, at least six months. Learn more about how to prepare for the physical test here.
