Physical Agility Test

An applicant for the position of police officer must successfully complete the physical agility test which is utilized by the Municipal Police Officers’ Education and Training Commission (MPOETC), which consists of a 300 meter run, a bench press, sit ups and a 1.5 mile run. Each of the above components is graded on a pass/fail basis, and in order to pass each component, an applicant must score in the 30th percentile, as calculated by MPOETC based upon age and sex-specific criteria promulgated by MPOETC.

Applicants who have not released West Norriton Township, its employees, and the Civil Service Commission from liability by completing the personal injury waiver are not permitted to take the agility test.
