Law Enforcement Fitness Testing Orientation Sessions

Brought to you by

Blue Line Fitness Testing

If you're thinking about a career in law enforcement but have no idea what the COPAT, PARE, POPAT, PFA or APREP looks like, these free sessions are built for you!

This introductory, hands-on walkthrough is designed for absolute beginners who want to understand the test layout, see the equipment up close, and get comfortable with a few of the key obstacles without the pressure of a full run or timing.

This is NOT a practice test. You will not run the full course, and you will not be timed.

What you'll experience:

  • A guided tour of the fitness test setup
  • Technique tips to help you approach each obstacle safely
  • A chance to try selected components of the course
  • Expert coaching and support from the Blue Line team
  • A clear understanding of what to expect when you're ready to take the real thing

Spots are limited to 15 people/session. Secure your spot today!
