just passed today with a time of 2:14 ! being a 10 yr smoker , training for this took a few months longer then I wanted especially since they up-ed the shuttle run to level 7 but damn proud of myself right now ! to all future candidates , I'll see you on the other side, good luck !
If the student cannot reach 7 stage all his or her hard work would be gone? Like the student did well her or his heavy equipment test and except shuttle run??
Just passed my Pati, Wct and prep (Stage 1). For my prep, I just went in and just left everything on the line nearly passing out couple of times and had kidney pain for 5 straight days. I knew I was kind of fit but if I was to do it again, I just run 30 minutes everyday for a month and sprint for 10 mi utes of the 30. As a guy who stopped lifting weights 3 years ago, I found this very easy. However, there are some differences from this video. 1. 9 lbs belt and 9 lbs vest 2. Circuit under 2.37 mins 3. Dummy drag resistive matt is longer and there is another mat you take the dummy over. It's not on the hardwood floor anymore 4. Cannot slam weights anymore like in the video.
Some things based on experience: -do NOT run between stations of the pursuit/restraint circuit. It will waste energy and you won't make up much time. -tighten the belt TIGHT, especially if you have a gut! It could fall down and cost you time and energy -for the shuttle run, go SLOW in stages 1 and 2. Save energy for stages 4, 5, 6. -only one foot needs to touch the end line. So you can pivot before the line and place the other foot on the line. -HIIT classes (f45, etc) helped me pass the shuttle. Highly recommend to train for the PREP test. You got this! Just gotta believe it. Edit: bring a banana and eat it after the pursuit/restraint and before the shuttle. Good for energy and leg muscles 😉
Passed the PREP with a time of 2:25. Could've been better (since I had a mild cold and relatively lacking sleep when I had to do it) but all I can say is that this test speaks a lot for your physical fitness if you can pass it. Focus on cardio and weights that help build your mid to lower body strength. When I first did this test I failed spectacularly (it was the old format though) because I never bothered to work my leg muscles. Upper body strength doesn't mean a thing if your legs can barely lift your own weight.
Just did the physical prep yesterday. Passed with 2:35 and the fail is 2:38. It was challenging, the strength stuff was very easy with pull/push and the handcuff thing. Its mostly cardio and endurance. I didn't expect it to be that hard.
Many people, especially those who think they are physically strong, underestimate this test. The trick to doing it is to know the techniques on the restraint simulators and do the entire course in a controlled manner. That restraint machine is no pushover despite being only 70 pounds.
This is fantastic for anyone looking into career in law enforcement! I'm 13 and haven't really decided what I want to do yet , but I 've always thought being a police officer would be a very rewarding career. If you have any tips, please let me know☺ I'd really appreciate it.

Most police departments these days require a Bachelor's degree, although that is slowly changing. You could consider getting a bachelors degree in something else like Nursing and that will open two doors for you.
I didn't prepare for the test and I stayed up late the night before, I thought it would be easy, but damn it was pretty hard, I passed but I highly recommend you prepare for it especially the 2nd part
Completed Level 7. I think I could have done better had I not eaten lots of food the night before. I weight train Mon and Wed for 2hrs and Alternate between 2hrs of Leg day and 2hrs of Cardio(20 min sets with 5 min breaks) on Saturdays. Frankly speaking I was running on fumes and barely made it. I would recommend doing cardio at least twice a week when preparation for this. But my body fat is at 12%. So some of you may need more if you're fat.
So this is the new standard for the pursuit and restraint circuit across Ontario? IE: before we had to drag the victim by the wrists or under the arms, now we can pull by an attached handle?
Seems a little more confusing until broken down into stages, doable for sure, 7.0 on the beep test now too! Interesting change. I wonder how the new change will reflect in the pass/fail ratio.
About the shuttle run. Seven levels, but how many sub levels are there? Is it 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and so on until 7, or is it 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2.1, 2.2, all the way to seven?
Just passed it today but with a few mistakes, leaving me at 2:34. Training is good and all but I strongly recommend attending a practice session (which I didn't do) since this time around they were picky at the resistor station, particularly the transitions. They want it to be very controlled and the way its done in this video, the weights are banging a little too hard and you'll get penalized for it. As for the shuttle run right after, I passed that as well but it was no cake walk.
Hello! Do you know if you can attend these sessions to just take notes and see- or, do you have to participate? I would be looking on behalf of someone who cannot attend the session in person.
Can someone tell me how much do you have to run for the beep test in order to hit 7.0? How many kms are in 7.0 beep test? I think the test seems easy but again it all depends on your cardio and endurance.

Well done. Was your test similar to this video? Or have they changed (Added) any of those drills? Thanks.
Am too tall to spin under the barrier will i pass 😃
I can’t get that in school oh god
so where are you now at this point? cop or ?

I’m watching this and getting real nervous hopefully I’ll be able to do it 🤞 😬
No offense, if you cant do that. , i would not be confortable to have you on my watch…

I'm most worried about the Push/Pull and handcuff thing more than the cardio, looks heavy lol

keep working towards it! :D determination is key

Omg this lady is a bossssssss ❤
I'm in the prep process I'm working on my fitness logs this looks intense but I've dreamed of being a policeman since I was a kid not gonna give up
I didn't prepare for the test and I stayed up late the night before, I thought it would be easy, but damn it was pretty hard, I passed but I highly recommend you prepare for it especially the 2nd part
Was it exactly like this?
Completed Level 7. I think I could have done better had I not eaten lots of food the night before.

So like im 6'5. Is the duck and role changed per height or is it the exact same for everyone? Because if its the same. I may or may not be fucked
I'm 6 4 220 it's really difficult especially you're not flexible.thats where I lost alot of time
So this is the new standard for the pursuit and restraint circuit across Ontario? IE: before we had to drag the victim by the wrists or under the arms, now we can pull by an attached handle?
It'll definitely be harder for females and out of shape older folks but I like the new updates.
+Toronto2245 Yeah but its fair that its the same for both genders. Since they are both competitively doing the same job.
Seems a little more confusing until broken down into stages, doable for sure, 7.0 on the beep test now too! Interesting change. I wonder how the new change will reflect in the pass/fail ratio.
+Colin Palmer I passed thank god.
lol I've done the old one so many times...but Feb will be the first time I'll do the new one!
Colin Palmer Good luck man. Its a lot of endurance and cardio. I found the strength part really easy. It was my first time doing it yesterday.
Thanks!
In the videos looks like shorter distance on the shuttle run, but is it the same distance like in high school??
What is the Fail Time for the circuit ?
Crushed a 2:05 today. Onwards to the sub 2 minute mark!
1:45
Great video!! I have a question: How will the participant know if they are successful on the PREP Test?
they are told
About the shuttle run. Seven levels, but how many sub levels are there? Is it 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and so on until 7, or is it 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2.1, 2.2, all the way to seven?
1, 1.5, 2.. every half
It doesn't matter... To get to 1.5 you have to go through 1.1, 1.2, etc. It is just announced every 1.5...
Down and back four times for every level
Is there some place I could try this?
how much weight are those machines?
Just passed it today but with a few mistakes, leaving me at 2:34. Training is good and all but I strongly recommend attending a practice session (which I didn't do) since this time around they were picky at the resistor station, particularly the transitions.

I wish to go to the practice session, but it was all booked... sigh
Hello! Do you know if you can attend these sessions to just take notes and see- or, do you have to participate? I would be looking on behalf of someone who cannot attend the session in person.
Futuramente serei eu policial no Canadá..ainda estou no Brasil mas já estou fazendo o planejamento... faz um tempo... abraço.
There goes my dream of becoming a police officer. Fuck me.
Do they give training as well ?
Will the instructor guide you throughout the test? I have mine tomorrow and I'm very nervous
how did it go?
What is the minimum height requirement for male candidates?
No height requirement
How heavy/difficult is the push and pull thing? I am slightly concerned about it as I am underweight.
It’s 70 pounds ! I just completed it thursday with a police service
@@GETOFFMYTfTS Will a guy weighing 118 lbs be able to do the weights without any hassle?
Can someone tell me how much do you have to run for the beep test in order to hit 7.0? How many kms are in 7.0 beep test? I think the test seems easy but again it all depends on your cardio and endurance.
1200m
could do this in my sleep .
I viewed your video mate, really love the content. Liked straight away, We should connect!
This test is far too easy
Well it’s somewhat more difficult now.
