7 Procedures Manual Provided by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) Introduction This manual is designed to assist you in the construction, layout and the administration of the Physical Abilities Test (PAT). This test remains as a Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission recommendation. There are essentially two types of physical test (1) job task simulation tests "PAT", and (2) tests of general physical fitness and health "Cooper". After the 1991 federal legislative changes, the emphasis was to move from general fitness standards to physical abilities testing, due to their defensibility under the changes in the law. With the 1991 legislative changes, when reading court decisions regarding fitness test, it is important to observe the date of the decisions. The majority of challenges involving general physical fitness and health tests occur, because criminal justice officers don't often do push-ups or sit-ups in the line of duty. Therefore, to use general physical fitness tests as an entry-level standard to determine whether someone is qualified to perform essential tasks of the job is questionable. Although, job task simulation tests, such as the PAT, have been proven defensible when properly established. The physical ability test in Florida has been established as a two phase process over a multi-year period ( ). The first phase consisted of examining essential physical functions of criminal justice officers and relating them to a course design. The second phase collected data through field testing throughout the state. It was important to field test the PAT to determine all aspects and responses to practical application. The physical abilities test of Florida is consistent with National models and industry standards, and locally validated based on statewide statistics. Components of the test were designed to simulate actual tasks and essential knowledge, skills and abilities required of the job. These skills were identified through job task analysis and a review of critical job responsibilities requiring physical proficiency. Five primary components, in order to simulate essential functions of an entry-level criminal justice officer, were identified and incorporated into the PAT: 1. Exiting a patrol vehicle and removing items from the glove box and trunk, to assess coordination and dexterity. This component represents basic motor skills/hand eye coordination needed to perform routine tasks. 2. A 220 yard run for endurance and cardiovascular condition. 3. A 110' obstacle course consisting of a 40" wall, three hurdles, a serpentine section, and a 27" low crawl to measure coordination and agility. 4. Drag a human form dummy weighing 150 lbs a distance of 100' for strength. 5. Officers are to assume a proper firing position and dry fire a standard service handgun (a revolver is preferred) six times in both the dominant and non-dominant hand. The test is concluded when the officer re-enters the vehicle. In order to evaluate the performance of the officer as satisfactory or nonsatisfactory the test is timed. Distances and heights of the components comprising the PAT were determined through review of common rescue and pursuit documentation and patrolled distances of correctional facilities; as well as, common heights of obstacles encountered by criminal justice officers. Course Design and Components The PAT is designed to be conducted outdoors on a flat grassy surface or on a standard quarter-mile track where firm footing is

8 guaranteed. It is necessary to have a grassy surface with grass cut no higher than 4 inches. There are several options in which the course can be constructed properly, to comply with limited space. The test requires an absolute minimum of equipment and employs easily accessible items. Items needed to construct the PAT are listed according to tasks. The PAT was designed to assess physical attributes which reflect core enabling knowledge, skills and abilities and essential tasks common for law enforcement, corrections and correctional probation officers. The physical abilities test is to be conducted in a continuous flow manner that is time-dependent in order to determine the participant's level of physical condition and aerobic capacity. The PAT measures specific physical abilities through a series of tasks which are listed as follows: 1. exiting vehicle/open trunk yard run 3. obstacle course 4. dummy drag 5. obstacle course (repeat) yard run (repeat) 7. dry fire weapon 8. place items in trunk/enter vehicle DESCRIPTION AND COURSE DESIGN OF THE PHYSICAL ABILITIES TEST Task I: Exit Vehicle/Enter Trunk Task Description: The test begins with participant seated in a full size automobile, seat belt on, with hands at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions on the steering wheel. Around the participants waist is a pull-away flag belt with ribbons (flags) positioned over each hip. Trunk key is placed in the vehicle glove compartment which is in the closed position. The vehicle truck release is not to be used by the participant. A handgun and a baton/ flashlight are positioned in the front center part of the trunk. The trunk is closed and locked. ATTRIBUTES MEASURED: Eye-hand coordination, reaction time, finger dexterity and flexibility. Instructions 1. On the command "go" the stop watch is started and the participant removes hands from steering wheel, unfastens seat belt, opens glove box and removes key 2. Exit the vehicle (the glove box and the vehicle door are left opened) 3. Move to the back of the vehicle and insert the key and unlock and open the trunk 4. Immediately after opening the trunk the participant touches each flag/ribbon with the opposite hand, from behind the back, and the flag belt is pulled away (letting the belt fall to the ground) 5. The handgun and the baton/ flashlight are removed from the trunk, the trunk is closed with the key remaining in the lock 6. Move to the bench/ chair or stool 7. Place handgun on bench/ chair, continue to hold baton/ flashlight 8. Immediately after placing the handgun on the nearby bench the participant proceeds with baton/ flashlight in hand to the

9 beginning of the 220 yard run Note: The bench is located five feet from the left rear tail light. Equipment Two stop watches Full size automobile, with a working trunk, seat belts and glove-box Key that will unlock the vehicle's trunk Flag belt with two flags placed over the hips Bench/ stool or chair, approximately 28 inches Firearm/ handgun with firing pin removed. A revolver is preferred, however may be substituted for the standard issue handgun of the agency or training center Standard issue baton or flashlight Task 2: 220 Yard Run Task Description: While carrying the baton/ flashlight the participant runs 220 yards on a flat surface to the entrance of the obstacle course. Distance should be clearly marked by orange cones or by some other highly visible object. ATTRIBUTES MEASURED: Anaerobic capacity (muscular endurance) Instruction: 1. Run 220 yards with baton/ flashlight in hand 2. After completing the run, proceed to the entrance of the obstacle course 3. Continue to hold the baton/ flashlight Equipment Cones to mark the distance Task 3: Obstacle Course Task Description: Upon completion of the 220 yard run the participant passes through the pylons at the entrance to the obstacle portion of the course. Ten feet into the obstacle course the participant must climb over a 40-inch wall, followed by a series of three (24, 12 and 18 inch) hurdles five feet apart located 10 feet beyond the wall. Ten feet beyond the final hurdle the participant encounters the first of nine pylons in a single row spaced five feet apart. The participant must serpentine through the pylons. Ten feet beyond the last pylon the participant must crawl under a 27-inch high, eight foot long low crawl area after which the participant stands, moves to the pylons located seven feet beyond the low crawl and drops the baton/ flashlight beside one of the pylons. Note: If at any time, the participant knocks over a hurdle or pylon, they immediately stop and repeat that portion of the obstacle course. ATTRIBUTES MEASURED: Mobility, anaerobic capacity (muscular endurance), flexibility and coordination. Instructions

10 1. Climb over the 40-inch wall 2. Climb over the series of three hurdles (24, 12 and 18 inches) 3. Serpentine through the nine cones place in a single row 4. Crawl under the hurdles (27-inches high) 5. Drop baton/ flashlight after the low crawl, near the pylon Equipment Wall Climb, 40" high x 66" wide (sturdy construction material) Hurdles, six cones (holes cut at 12" in two cones, 18" in two cones, and 24" in two cones) Six 40" long dowel rods to insert in the cones as a crossbar (spray paint with a visible color, i.e. bright orange) Three rods for the hurdles, three for the low crawl Note: Dowel rods should be durable, in the event that a participant misjudges obstacle. Extra rods should be handy in the event that one breaks during testing. Serpentine, nine cones (cones should be between 12" and 36") Low Crawl, six 36" cones (holes cut 27") Two cones to mark the exit Task 4: Dummy Drag Task Description: The participant then sprints 50 feet, grabs the 150-pound dummy and drags it 100 feet on a cut grass surface. ATTRIBUTES MEASURED: Muscular endurance, strength/power, flexibility, agility. Instructions: 1. Sprint 50 feet to where the dummy is positioned 2. Grab the dummy with a firm, safe grip 3. Drag the dummy 100 feet 4. Sprint 50 feet to the obstacle course Note: Instructor should demonstrate proper techniques to drag the dummy. To limit potential injuries, participants should not lift dummy completely off the ground (i.e. over the shoulder). Equipment Two cones to mark the 100' distance Human form dummy weighing 150-pounds

11 Weight belt, at the request of participant or agency Task 5: Obstacle Course (Repeat of Task 3 in Reverse) Task Description: Upon completion of the dummy drag the participant sprints back to the pylons, picks up the baton/ flashlight and reverses course through the obstacles. After the wall climb the participant moves through the pylons and once again repeats the 220 yard run. Task 6: 220 Yard Run (Repeat of Task 2) Task 7: Dry Fire Weapon Task Description: After completing the 220 yard run, the participant places the baton/flashlight on the bench and picks up the hand gun. Then assumes a proper firing position and fires six rounds each using the dominant, then non-dominant hand. ATTRIBUTES MEASURED: Strength/power, muscular endurance and finger dexterity. Instructions 1. Place baton/flashlight on the bench 2. Pick up handgun 3. Assume a firing position while keeping arms completely outstretched at shoulder height and parallel with the ground 4. Fire six rounds each using the dominant, then non-dominant hand Task 8: Enter Trunk/Enter Vehicle (Repeat of Task 1 in Reverse) Task Description: After the participant fires the weapon (the trunk is opened) the weapon and baton are placed inside the trunk and the trunk is closed. The key is then removed, and the participant reenters the vehicle, closing the vehicle door, places the key in the glovebox, closes the glove-box, re-fastens the seat belt and places both hands on the steering wheel, at which time the test ends. Instructions 1. Pick up baton/flashlight while still holding the handgun 2. Place items in the trunk 3. Close trunk and remove key 4. Reenter the vehicle 5. Close the vehicle door and place key in glove-box 6. Close the glove-box and fasten seat beat 7. Place both hands on steering wheel TEST PRECAUTIONS

12 Successful completion of the PAT demands a significant physical effort. Precautions should be taken to prevent any unnecessary injuries. Check the course to make sure it is properly laid out before and after each participant performs the PAT. Appropriate exercise clothing and athletic shoes are recommended. Participants are encouraged to warm-up before taking the test. To further ensure individuals safety all participants should have medical clearance before taking this test. Florida is known for its heat and humidity, particularly in the summer months. Cool water should be accessible to all participants before and after taking the PAT. As a precaution to avoid heat stroke or exhaustion, conduct PAT testing in the cooler morning hours. Heat, humidity, and heavy exercise can lead to dangerous situations. Table 1 provides information on the recognition and emergency treatment of heat disorders. It is not uncommon for a person to feel light-headed or dizzy after completion of the PAT. The participant should be encouraged to continue walking to provide a sufficient cool-down and prevent venous pooling of the blood in the legs. Some individuals may prefer to lie down after the test. To prevent fainting in this situation, instruct the participant to lay on their back with feet in the air and pedal an imaginary bicycle to aid recovery. INSTRUCTIONS FOR TEST ADMINISTRATORS 1. Make certain emergency procedures are in place. Contact closest emergency medical facility. If possible ask if an EMT or other licensed medical personnel could attend the testing. Make certain all test administrators are skilled in CPR and first aid. Make certain all test administrators are familiar with shortest route to emergency medical facility. Emergency procedures for handling heat stress should be ready, some means to rehydrate and cool the body as quickly as possible. Provide a first aid kit with standard supplies. 2. Collect physician's medical clearance form. A copy of this form is included in the back of this manual. No one is permitted to take the test without clearance/ proper approval. It is important that the participant signs and date the form and is made aware of personal liability issues. Ask the participant if there are any new medical conditions that would exclude them from testing. 3. Record environmental conditions (air temperature and humidity) Be familiar with symptoms and emergency first aid procedures of heat related injuries. Be cautious of extreme temperatures and wet conditions. 4. Provide complete instructions and orientation to each participant. Answer questions as needed. Walk participants through the test. Explain common mistakes Ask for volunteers to go first.

13 5. Two test administrators must be available to administer the test. Each administrator should time the participant to ensure that the proper time is recorded. A minimum of two timers is necessary in case one stop watch fails during the test. It would be a great disadvantage to force a participant to stop mid-test and start over again because a watch failed. 6. Someone must follow participant through the obstacle portion of the course in order to upright fallen pylons or hurdles. 7. Provide continued direction to each participant while they are taking the test (e.g., "place your baton at the pylon, then turn left to the dummy"). participants should not be expected to memorize all aspects of the test. Rather, test administrators must make certain that ample directions are provided to ensure that no participants will be penalized for making a wrong decision. 8. Answer questions included on the back of the PAT data form regarding any difficulties demonstrated by participants which may have a bearing on, or may reflect current health status. For example: the participant appeared dizzy and staggered during test; or, participant reported chest pain. Simply answer questions to the best of your ability, your observations are important. Test administrators are not being asked to provide a medical opinion, or to provide an interpretation of events. Observations are all that is called for by the administrator. Participants should be asked to give input regarding the test. Participants' comments should be recorded and initial the form as evidence that they were permitted to provide input. 9. Record both times on data report forms. Each administrator must initial the report. According to the score, determine if participant passed or failed. Participants should be informed of their test time when they are finished. PHYSICAL ABILITIES TESTING DIRECTIONS FOR PARTICIPANTS Participants should be provided with times when the physical abilities course is open for their use and should be encouraged to practice the course prior to their scheduled test. Each participant should be instructed to come to the testing session wearing exercise clothes and comfortable running shoes. It should be suggested that participants come to the session fully rested, without having eaten two to three hours prior to the test and in a fully hydrated state. Upon arrival the participant should be provided with an orientation including a walk through of the test course. The participant should be afforded an opportunity to ask and have questions related to the test and procedures answered. Ample time to warm-up prior to taking the test should also be made available. Prior to beginning the test, participants should be reminded that this is a test to measure their physical best (in other words, this test should result in a near maximal to maximal effort) and fatigue should result. It is important to also remind each participant that premature fatigue resulting in a poorer score (longer time to complete) can be avoided by pacing themselves throughout the course. Participants who have taken the opportunity to practice or train on the course will have a clearer understanding of the value of this advise. 1. Participants should receive the self-help preparation information as soon as possible. The information should contain a step-bystep strength and stamina training program, plus detailed instructions on how to most effectively prepare and participate on test day. In addition to training and health information applicants must receive the medical clearance form, which must be signed by a physician and presented to the test administrator the day of the test. 2. Participants should be informed of days and times when the physical abilities test course will be available for practice. Participants should be informed about the cut-off time and should be timed during practice to let them know how well they are doing. Encouragement should be given to all participants to take advantage of practice opportunities. 3. Participants should be encouraged to report any symptoms or ill feelings which may arise during or after the test. Cut off score: Determination of Pass/ Fail

14 The January 1997, Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission set forth a recommend cut score of six minutes and four seconds. It is important to remember that the cut-score presented is based on a State average, compiled from various criminal justice agencies. In order to ensure that the PAT adequately represents the standards set forth by your agency, it is important to monitor the results of the PAT for 6-12 months after implementation. This is important to guarantee that the cut-score established is not too lenient for your agency or adversely impact the applicant population.

Medical/Physician's Clearance to Test Form AGENCY: NAME OF PARTICIPANT: Dear Physician: The purpose of this communication is to inform you of the above named individual's intentions with regards to participation in the [Name of Agency] pre-employment physical abilities test. We are aware of the fact that strenuous physical activity may be inadvisable for some individuals. As such, we request that you indicate whether the above named participant has any medical condition or disorder that would preclude participation. It must be emphasized that we are not asking you to assume responsibility for the participant while participating in this test. Rather, we merely want to have as much information as possible when making decisions concerning applicability of testing. The testing program will consist of a series of physical abilities tests conducted at our training site. The battery of job-related field tests is intended to be completed in the fastest possible time and will require maximum effort by the participant. Tests are designed to measure balance, muscular endurance and strength, flexibility, anaerobic power and capacity, fine motor skill and aerobic power. Tests will include two 220 yard runs, dragging a 150 pound object 100 feet, jumping over obstacles (12-24 inches high), climbing over a wall (40 inches high), two 50 foot-sprints and movement around a series of pylons. Ultimately, the primary goal of this testing is to determine whether the participant is capable of performing minimum standards appropriate to law enforcement, corrections or correctional probation. I have examined this participant and his/her medical history, and based upon my evaluation I recommend that: Participation is not advisable at the present time.

15 (If you advise against participation, please do not disclose the participant's medical condition on this form.) Within a reasonable degree of probability, no medical condition or disorder exists which precludes this participant from participation in the physical abilities tests as described.
