Physical Ability Test: The physical fitness examination will be administered on the same day for applicants who successfully complete the written examination. It is recommended that you bring water on the day of the exam and properly hydrate prior to the exam. Ample time will be given to change into proper clothing and stretch before the physical test begins. The physical fitness examination consists of five events outlined below. Applicants must successfully pass each event to move forward. Between the five events you must earn at least 15 total points to pass. Event #1 - 300-Meter Run The 300-meter run measures anaerobic capacity. This is your ability to perform short, intense bursts of effort like foot pursuits. You must sprint 300 meters - about 3/4 of a lap around the track - for this event. Event #2 - Maximum Push-up Test Push-ups measure the endurance of your upper body muscles including your shoulders, chest and the back of your upper arms. This test measures your ability to use force involving a pushing motion. The test ends when you can no longer continue due to muscle fatigue. You assume a push-up position with your feet together or up to twelve inches apart. Your hands are placed approximately shoulder-width apart with fingers facing forward. An instructor places a three inch push-up block beneath your sternum. A proper push-up is when you lower your body, touch the block with your sternum, then return to your starting position with elbows in a soft lock. Resting position is up, and proper form is closely monitored. Event #3 - Vertical Jump The vertical jump measures the difference between your standing reach and your jumping reach. This event relates to the explosive power that is needed in operational or pursuit tasks that require jumping and vaulting. With the use of the Vertec Jump Apparatus, the instructor measures your standing reach, then you may choose from two stances to gain explosive power: feet parallel with one jump up, or feet apart and then gather and jump. You will jump three times reaching as high as possible. The instructor records the highest jump. If you achieve a jump measurement of 24 inches or more, no more jumps are required. Event #4 - One-Minute Sit-ups Sit-ups measure your abdominal muscle endurance, which relates to your ability to perform tasks that involve force. Performance sit-ups are not crunches. You lie on your back with knees bent and hands cupped behind your ears or interlocked behind your head. Your elbows must touch the top of your thigh or knee. An instructor holds your feet down during the test. You complete as many sit-ups as possible in one minute. Resting position is up, and proper form is closely monitored. Event #5 - 1.5-mile Run The 1.5-mile run measures your cardiovascular endurance. This relates to your ability to perform sustained activities such as a long foot pursuit followed by a physical confrontation. The test is conducted on a 440-yard track. One lap equals one-quarter mile and six laps equals 1.5 miles. Following the Exam: After a background investigator reviews the applicant's personal history, the applicant will go through the following steps below. The order is determined by needs and schedules. Applicants will only move to the next step after successful completion of the previous step. Preliminary interview Thorough background investigation Oral review board Interview with the Chief Conditional job offer Polygraph Psychological examination Medical examination The hiring process for candidates that complete all portions of the pre-employment screenings may take 3-6 months. Police Officer Step Plan: Non-TCOLE-Certified Applicants If you do not have a Texas Peace Officer Certification through the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE), you will start out as a police recruit. After you graduate from a law enforcement academy and obtain your Texas Peace Officer Certification, you will be at Step 1 of the Police Officer pay scale and progress through the steps on an annual basis. TCOLE-Certified & Experienced Police Officers If you already have a Texas Peace Officer certification through TCOLE or service in another state, your training and experience will be reviewed by the Chief to determine eligibility for a lateral position. If approved, laterals will enter the pay scale based on their years of full-time peace officer experience. If you are an out of state certified officer, each candidate will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis of whether you can bypass the academy and attend our lateral Supplemental Peace Officer Course to challenge the state exam and received in-house training or if it is necessary to attend an academy in which we pay for. STEPS - SALARY Click Here for Police Step Plan Physical Demands/Supplemental Tasks involve the ability to exert heavy physical effort in heavy work, with greater emphasis on climbing and balancing, but typically also involving some combination of stooping, kneeling, crouching, and crawling, and the lifting, carrying, pushing, and/or pulling of moderately heavy objects and materials (20-50 pounds); may occasionally involve heavier objects and materials (up to 100 pounds).
