What do you need to do to pass Hawaii Police Department’s agility test?

Wondering what do you need to do to pass Hawai‘i Police Department’s agility test? This video shows you what you need to do.

One of six steps in the recruitment process for police officer I positions, the agility test determines if you have the physical ability necessary to perform some of the critical, non-routine tasks associated with being a police officer.

These tasks include simulating the movement of an unconscious individual and pursuing a suspect over and around obstacles.

In order to pass the agility test, you must complete the following sequence of events in 70 seconds or less. You will be afforded only one opportunity to complete the event. If you make a mistake during the test, you will be told to correct your mistake and the time will continue to run.

Here’s what the agility test includes:
Run 5 yards from the starting line to the sand bag on the ground in front of you.

Drag the sand bag 12 feet. You may drag the weight in any manner that you choose, but you must get the base of the sand bag completely across the line.

Once the base of the sand bag is completely across the line, proceed to a set of stairs and run up and down the stairs twice. You may run up and down the stairs in any fashion, including skipping of stairs, but your two feet must land on the top stairs and the bottom ground.

After running up and down the stairs twice, you must run another 5 yards and climb through the open window. You may climb through the window in any manner that you choose. If you do not make it through the window on the first attempt, you may continue trying until you get through.

After climbing through the window, you must run 5 yards and then 42 yards in a straight line on the path marked in front of you.

At the end of this run, you have to run another 5 yards and climb over a chain link fence. You may climb over this fence in any manner you choose. If you are unable to climb over the fence on the first attempt, you may try again until you successfully get over the top of the fence.

After climbing over the fence, you must run another 10 yards and then 5 yards and then through the zig zag course. You must run around the cones as rapidly as you can.

At the end of this course is a hollow tile wall you must climb over. You may climb over this wall in any manner you choose. If you are unable to climb the wall on the first attempt, you may back up and try it again until you get over the top.

After you climb over this wall, you’ll then run 5 yards and across the finish line.

This completes the test.
