Police Ongoing Recruitment: What Involved In The Medical and Fitness Test. CHECK OUT FOR PREPARATION

The fitness test is designed to assess whether you’ve got the stamina needed to be a police officer, not an Olympic athlete.

Some people worry about not being fit enough to pass the test but, as long as you’re reasonably fit and have prepared enough in advance, you should be fine.

The medical test varies by agency but normally involves:

Checking your height and weight

Body Mass Index (BMI)

Musculoskeletal assessment

Blood pressure check / urinalysis

Spirometry (Lung capacity test)

Hearing and eyesight checks

Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Most agencies also require a completed health questionnaire signed by your doctor covering your current and past physical and mental health history.
