The physical agility examination consists of five (5) segments in which the candidate must pass each segment and receive an overall passing score. The test consists of:


500 yard run
99 Yard Obstacle Course
Solid Fence Climb
Chain Link Fence Climb
Body Drag
Preparing for the Test:
Good physical condition
Warm-up/stretch
We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing such as sweat pants with a T-shirt or sweatshirt and athletic and/or tennis shoes.

That's the POST standard test. It had weighted scores based on time for each event. The two to put out 110% on are the solid wall climb and the 99 yard obstacle course. Those two will secure nearly all the points you need. On the 500 yard just cruise. The differance between the full on sprinters in our class and the slow pokes was a 2-5 point differance in the end in that event.

A friend of mine is currently with the Dept. as a new officer.

[CalPolyGrad]

Have you talked to him? how does he like it? any info? i saw that episode of cops where the chief was on patrol. "stupid criminals #1" haha

[SpecialBlend]

wow this was a while ago. I know a couple officers from Pomona PD and they like it but I love LAPD even more, especially where I am working

[Five-0fromSoCal]

A family member and alot of other guys I know lateralled from LAPD to Pomona. None of them regret it and said it was the best thing they could have done. Good dept with decent pay. Enough action and alot more commuter friendly for most guys.

[CalPolyGrad]

I would love the commute to pomona too.

Anyone know how many they're looking to pick up? I just put in my app today for recruit.

[CalPolyGrad]

Hey chuck, have you heard from Pomona?

[CHUCKnmnV]

Nope, the only thing I got was a confirmation that HR got my app.

Any idea when the test is and do they do the PAT at the sheriffs academy on institutuion?

[CHUCKnmnV]

PAT and the written is done at the Daniel Fraembs training center. I forget what street it is on. Pomona uses Rio Hondo.
