Fitness Standards

Cadets running for fitness accessment

The physical fitness assessment is administered to all Peace Officer cadets. The assessment will be conducted at the UHD Law Enforcement Academy (LEA) during the program. Cadets must pass the assessment before exiting the LEA peace officer program. Cadets should bring required attire for physical activity i.e. gym shorts, sweatpants, t-shirt, and running shoes.

The three categories assessed are:

  • Minimum number of sit-ups in 1 minute (25 required)
  • Minimum number of push-ups in 1 minute (25 required)**
  • 300 meter sprint in 80 seconds or less

** Male and Female cadets are required to perform standard toe push-ups. No modified push ups are allowed at any time.

Push-ups and sit-ups will be demonstrated so that all cadets understand the push-up and sit-up requirements.
