Police or Highway Patrol pre-employment test?

Question

Does anyone know what I can expect on the fitness test? And what kind of questions I can expect on the lie detector test?

Answer 1

36 or younger need to perform:

* 40 sit-ups in a minute
* 33 push-ups in a minute
* 1.5-mile run in 11 minutes, 58 seconds or less.

The women 36 or younger need to perform:

* 35 sit-ups in a minute
* 18 push-ups in a minute
* 1.5-mile run in 14 minutes, 15 seconds or less

Answer 2

The physical agility test varies from agency to agency. It is by no means standardized. Some places like where I worked you had to run a mile and a half, do so many push-ups, situps and leg lifts. That has changed since I started, and now it is an obstacle course, etc.
For the lie box we ask questions like have you committed a crime and not been arrested for it? Have you tried drugs, and they name them... Stuff that goes to you morals, general law abiding status, etc.
It is a big ordeal, but they do give you weapons and the job description involves taking people's liberty away when they are suspected of a crime, so they are taking a lot of chances if they don't do a thorough check on employees.
Good luck.
