Municipal Police Officers’ Basic Training Program (Act 120)
Physical Fitness Evaluation Individual Informed Consent Release
The fitness pre-test as well as the mandatory Municipal Police Officers’ Education and Training Commission
(MPOETC) Basic Physical Fitness Program, both test for:
1.
Cardio-Respiratory Fitness
2.
Muscular Strength and Endurance
Cardio-Respiratory Fitness is tested by evaluating the time required to run a distance of 1.5 miles and a 300
meter dash.
Muscular Strength and Endurance is determined by evaluating the number of sit-ups an applicant can
successfully complete in a prescribed time period and by using the bench press method.
Note: All MPOETC fitness testing procedures are age and gender adjusted, as per the Cooper Institute of
Aerobic Research.
Historically, the most physically demanding portion of the fitness test is the cardio-respiratory evaluation, the
purpose of which is to examine the participant’s heart rate response to exercise and recovery periods.
Occasionally, complications can occur during the mandatory fitness testing. If the applicant/cadet is not
tolerating the task well, i.e. experiencing shortness of breath, pains in the chest area, etc. it is the
applicant’s/cadet’s responsibility to cease all physical activity and notify the test monitor of his/her condition.
In signing this Consent and Release Form, you acknowledge that you completely understand the test and that
any questions you have are answered to your satisfaction. You also understand that every reasonable effort has
been taken to insure your health and safety, that you enter into the tests willingly, and that you hereby do
release and hold the Montgomery County Community College harmless from and against any and all loss, cost,
damage, injury to you, the participant, or damage to or loss of property during the course of such tests.
Furthermore, I agree to look to my physician for any medical care.

In the unlikely event that an academy class is cancelled, a full refund of your tuition will be
returned to you automatically.
If you withdraw from the Academy, a memorandum must be forwarded to the Director
explaining the reason for withdrawal. If you are requesting a tuition reimbursement, please refer
to MCCC Tuition Refund Policy.
The decision to attend the police academy is one to be reached prior to the first day of class, not after.
Do not assume that a transfer or refund will be approved.
As a matter of information, uniforms, and PT clothing and supplies are non-refundable.

This is a cumulative test. Each event is pass/fail; thus, if one event is failed,
the entire test is failed. There is no "averaging" of scores. Applicants for
the police academy will need to pass each event at the 30th percentile to be
considered for acceptance into the police academy. These scores are based
on The Cooper Institute data. If an applicant does not fall into one of the
age categories, the applicant will be required to receive a score closest to
their actual age.
