POLICE ENTRANCE FITNESS ASSESSMENT:
As part of the recruitment process all applicants are required to undertake a fitness assessment. This assessment is to ensure you have a suitable fitness level to become a police officer. It involves taking part in a bleep test and dynamic strength test.
JOB RELATED FITNESS TEST:
As from September 2013, every police officer in the country required to undertake personal safety training will also be required to pass an annual fitness assessment. Dont be caught off guard. Make sure youre already at the required standard!
This app is aimed to assist training for the UK police fitness test but may also be relevant for other UK and foreign public service fitness assessments.

BLEEP TEST:
Beep tests are split into a number of different levels, with a number of beeps at each level. The minimum requirement for police officers in England and Wales is level 5.4 (i.e. level 5, 4 beeps). The total running time for this is about 3 minutes and 40 seconds. In Scotland the level is set at between 9.2 and 6.10, dependent on you age.
The 15m bleep test featured in this app is identical to the audio track published by the Collage of Policing and is the audio track you will hear on the day of your fitness assessment.
PUSH/PULL STRENGTH TEST:
The push/pull dynamic strength test is used to measure your strength. This test involves performing five seated chest pushes and five seated chest pulls on a machine called a dyno. To pass this test you need to pull on average at least 35kg and push on average at least 34kg.
