I just did mines today, Passed with 1:56 It’s simply, but does involve a lot of cardio. Do not STOP keep going even if you mess up. Y’all I’m 6ft and 290lbs. I’m a big boy.. If I can do it, anyone else smaller than me should be able to, too. It just involves a lot of cardio… **Next is paperwork The the investigation part, after that, ion know 😂😂 ** Also, I thought that dummy was gonna be light cause I'm confident with my strength, it requires a little more work. But still easy 😂

this is just so you can get in the academy... once in the academy you will train and get tested in other areas. example: academics, driving, and shooting. And yes, if your interested in joining APD, start running now it will definetely help.
@Zer0Mood3 жыл бұрын
Simply put, this is the NEW standard to get into most agencies in Georgia. There is no endurance portion to get in. HOWEVER, like the person above me stated, once hired, you will be REQUIRED to run 1.5 miles in under like 14 minutes and a handful of other things to pass and continue with APD. If you can not pass the run and those other requirements, you get the boot. Dont worry though, just start running now and you'll get it by the time you're hired :) You willl train with a bunch of others before they tell you to pass the test, or get the boot.

My test in NYC as a female in the 1980 was harder then this not saying this aint hard bc it definitely challenging.....I had jump a high wall not a gate had to run up several flight stairs in addition to dragging the dummy, and running few laps in the gym cant remember if anything else... I passed the agility test but not my family scrutiny. My then husband and family felt was too polite a person and wanted to know if I would tell the criminal to pretty please stop. 😂😂😂maybe they saved my life or maybe they could used more polite officers who knows but part of me still wishes that I had been police officer with caine units or maybe gone on to be a detective......either way became a nurse and moved around a lot heavier people than that dummy lol 😂😂😂😂 and they were not quiet like the dummy so it was harder lol
