I will soon be taking my treadmill test for LAPD. I am not sure what the timing and distance is required. I think it used to be 1.5 miles under 14 minutes. I took my pat test with part of my cough still and did well. Does anyone know the proper requirements for the treadmill test? Thank you in advance.

FWIW, I didn't get much past a power walk on the treadmill test. I am tall (6' 4") so I have a long stride, but it is very easily passable. And, actually, if the treadmill test is the slightest bit difficult, the academy will be nearly impossible...

That's a loaded question but here you go. The whole LAPD PAT was at the old academy in Elysian Park. The PAT was the basic POST test consisting of a long run, a short run, dummy drag, wall and fence climbs. The vast majority of women couldn't make it over the wall. After a couple lawsuits from women that got DQ'd, the city got scared and moved the test to the basement of the personnel office. The tests were more women friendly. Basically the city figured it was more important to give everyone a trophy than it was to make sure people could do the job.God made perfect cops.......The rest he put in cars.
