Fit for Class

The Edmonton Police Service takes great pride in fitness. By choosing a career path with us there is an expectation that you will make healthy living and fitness a part of your daily life.

The A-PREP is one way of assessing your physical abilities required for the job of police work; however, it is only an indirect indicator of your overall fitness and health.

Since the A-PREP only assesses the physical abilities required for the job, it does not necessarily guarantee your readiness and fitness level for recruit class. Recruit class may be a gruelling experience and it is your responsibility to ensure that your physical fitness will be sufficient to meet these demands.

The Fit for Class document has fitness guidelines for you to independently assess your own fitness in an effort to be capable of successfully completing recruit training, and a healthy career in police work.

Some tests include a link to a video demonstrating the movement and possible tips to improve specific to that test.
