What is the Physical Readiness Evaluation for Police Constable (PREP)?
The PREP helps to ensure that you have the physical abilities to take on the duties of a police officer. The PREP consists of a health-related questionnaire and a two-part physical skills and abilities test (Pursuit Restraint and Aerobic Shuttle Run). You must pass the screening criteria on the health questionnaire to proceed to the physical abilities tests. You then must successfully complete both the Pursuit Restraint Circuit and the Aerobic Shuttle Run to achieve a pass. · Health Questionnaire: You must submit a completed PAR-Q & You/PARmed-X questionnaire, which identifies any personal health risks associated with strenuous exercise. As well, you will be required to complete and sign a PREP Participant Consent Form. Your blood pressure will be measured when you arrive for testing. Applicants over 40 years of age must complete the PARmed-X form with their family physicians before the test date. Note: these forms must be submitted with your Registration package. · Pursuit Restraint C
