Advice for LEO PAT?

[bhunt31]

Going Saturday for the local PD physical agility test. Been training for it for months, not really sure what to expect the day of. Any words of wisdom?

Just relax.

Easier said than done, lol. Life long dream that I never thought would happen all the sudden came rushing me in the last 2 months.

Simply do your best. Yes Sir/Ma'am, No Sir/Ma'am and give it 100%, that's all you can do.

That I will do. I told the wife, after waiting 15 years to do this, something is gonna have to break or tear to get me to stop.

Best of luck to ya! Give it your all plus some, make yourself stand out above the crowd, in a good way. Be clean cut and look the part and as said above be polite and courteous.

You will be watched, to see how you conduct yourself with others. Especially if this is the first time you are being seen by the officers in the selection process. Don't try to impress them, just be polite, confident, and in a good mood. They are not looking for the best scores in the physical necessarily, just competency and good general physical conditioning. Neither are they looking for someone who already knows it all, but for someone who is trainable, and they would enjoy working with.

Make sure you tell all the officers stories about how you and your friends have been wronged by the police in the past and you want the job so you can change the system from the inside.

Now serious advice: Look for a decent job instead.

Don't forget to breathe. Seriously, pay attention to your breathing.

It's not that strenuous, if you even bothered to train you should be fine, good luck.

When I completed mine I had walking pneumonia. I was already seeing stars when I got to the car push. My brother (completed it at the same time) had to drive me home.

I think this is a bit much.

Nice response.

I think this is a bit much.

I think it's about right on, although it has gotten me a couple pretty nasty private messages already that I found hilarious. However, if he is determined to work in law enforcement and has already been training for the agility test, then I suspect he will do just fine.

I'll be taking a LEO PAT soon too, hopefully. Been weight training and distance running for a while now. Do you know what they will be testing? The PAT I will be completing includes push-ups, sit-ups, vertical jump, 300 meter run, and 1.5 mile run.

Just save the negative LEO responses for the proper venue please.
Spot on or not this is not the place.

I'm having problems with my sit ups. I can't seem to get inside 1 minute. Everything else is good with the ilea exit standards. I can get to 26 in 1 minute but just can't seem to get those last 2 no matter how hard I try and that's what has me worried.

Same as you. Ilea exit standards

Not so much about changing the system from the inside out, we have a great group of guys here. It's more of a personal thing for me. I don't want to change it, just want the venue to be a part of something I believe in. As for the good job part, I've been driving a truck for the last 17 years. I haven't had a good job in a long time.

Our neighborhoods need to add more officers with your can do attitudes. Carry on. Good luck to you both.

My advice is to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. I screwed up on one of my tests and didn't drink enough water prior and ended up cramping.
