Peace Officer: Physical Fitness Test

The Minnesota POST Board, Professional Peace Officer Education (PPOE) approved learning objective Category 3, Section 9 includes the following objective:

Category 3, Section 9, Objective 2 (3.9.2)
Pass a physical fitness test with an overall accumulative passing score.

This means a physical fitness test must be administered by every State PPOE program and each student must pass the standard score to be granted licensure through a State PPOE program.

Physical Fitness Test
A passing score is 42 points, which is 70% of the possible 60 points. This score represents the physical fitness level of the average person according to studies by the Cooper Institute and was chosen under the belief that peace officer candidates need to be at least as fit as the average person. Students must receive a minimum of three points in each of the six areas to pass.
