hi all just another new applicant worring about the process of joining the cpso.
physical fitness test
do you need to be able to run a mile ? do 20 pushups?not wear glasses and be clean shaven
how far does the daily walk take and are you expected to do so on the first day or is there a gradual build up to walking these long daily marathons?
Is there a height restriction or are vertically challenged people ok to join? |

Hi Newey,
All I can say is just dont worry. There are no restrictions on height etc, I had sight and hearing tests, chest examination, inhale / exhale tests. After that I was asked questions about my general health / was I a smoker etc.
I did not have anything really physical to do. Just as well, running anything over ten metres, and I would collapse.
I certainly didnt get slowly broken in to the long walking etc., so I think you can forget that one.
Anyway Newey, welcome, and good luck to you.

the physical tests seem to depend on which force you apply to,but the majority seem to do the bleep test to level 5.4,push/pull average of 35kgs if you look on your chosen forces website your get a idea of whats required,if you do have to do the bleep test my advice is to download a copy and practice as much as poss.
good luck |

Hi Newey,
You will be working for the Police, but also work alongside members of the District / County Councils, and other organisations that are relevant to our role.

I passed my fitness test to become a PCSO for the Met, on the 7th April (Yipee!!!), and I am now awaiting a date to begin my training etc.
I have to say personally I found the bleep test (to level 5.4)..well what can I say..a challange ;-/, I did not find the running easy, and I had to do a lot of training to get my self up to the standard, as I have never found running a joy, but I spent hours upon hours in the gym, and I also managed to down load a copie of the bleep test, and I used to go up my local park with the bleep test on my phone and run it, but thankfully I have now passed!!!.
Most people seem to find the fitness test not to bad, but as I say I did have to work at it, but I have to say it was worth it  , as hearing the words 'you've passed'..was music to my ears after all the hours training I put into it.
I didn't find the weights to bad really. The best of luck.
Michelle.

Well done Michelle, you obviously worked really hard, and deserve to have passed.
Best wishes and good luck to you in your new career.
