WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THE PHYSICAL ABILITIES TEST (PAT)?

The Physical Abilities Test — also known as PAT —  is designed to replicate critical and essential physical tasks and demands faced by police officers in the normal performance of their duties. Specific tasks and overall physical demands are replicated in the ORPAT through the use of a carefully designed and validated “obstacle course” that must be complete in less than 6 minutes. It is a state-wide requirement for anyone applying to become a law enforcement officer.
