Among other physical tests, candidates are required to pass off which of the following to become an officer?
Answer A 1-2 mile run and a stair-climbing test.
Although a bench press test is required, it is far below the 180 lb. mark, and while chin-ups are not required, push-ups and sit-ups are. The triathlon can wait for weekend fun. Climbing a few flights of stairs and being able to run a distance are critical for police officers in the performance of their duties, hence the pre-hire testing.
