Are you fit enough to be an auxiliary constable, special constable, or recruit constable?
The Sault Police Service is giving you the chance to find out.
Those interested in a career in policing are invited to take part in one of four fitness test practice sessions this May.
Sessions will take place on Friday, May 2 at 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and Saturday, May 3 at 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
Capacity is limited to 20 participants per session. There will be a wait list of five additional registrants per session in case of cancellations.
“The fitness test can seem intimidating, but this is a great opportunity to assess your current fitness level in a supportive and encouraging environment,” says Derek MacFarlane, sergeant of uniform recruitment, in a news release issued today.
“It’s a chance to try the test without the pressure of the real thing and see where you may need improvement.”
Those interested in becoming a constable, special constable, or auxiliary constable must pass a fitness test.
While the sessions are intended to be for learning and practice, those who pass the practice test may choose to use the results in their application to SSMPS for up to four months.
Those who do not pass will receive constructive feedback on how to improve their fitness.
