RCPD Physical Fitness Testing Standards
As a prerequisite for employment with the Rapid City Police Department candidates must successfully pass a physical fitness test. We use a point’s based grading system. Candidates must obtain a minimum of 15 total points and meet the minimum requirements for each type of physical test in order to pass.
Minimum requirements are determined by the last listed row under the appropriate age column for the candidate. Please note you can meet the minimum requirement for each exercise and still fail the assessment if 15 total points are not achieved. Likewise someone can obtain more than 15 points and still fail if they do not meet a minimum requirement for an exercise.
