Final Testing Date for SJPD is May 30, 2009
Pre-employment Physical Agility Testing for law enforcement and corrections:
South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium (The Academy) is now providing entry level physical agility testing to applicants for law enforcement officers. The following Work Sample Test Battery (WSTB) has been developed:
Work Sample Test Battery (WSTB):
a. 99 yard obstacle course
b. 165 lb Body Drag
c. Chain Link Fence Climb
d. Solid Wall Climb
e. 500 Yard Run
f. 1.5 mile run
*G. Corrections also requires a 165 lb Body Hold
Except for the inclusion of a 1.5 mile run, the physical agility test otherwise mirrors the WSTB physical agility test standard required for graduation from a California P.O.S.T accredited peace officer academy. The established qualifying score for most agencies is set at 320 as its minimum entry level requirement for the WSTB phase and a 14 minute maximum time for the 1.5 mile run.
The WSTB test is given periodically at The Academy in San Jose. View WSTB schedule and sign up for testing.
Practice Sessions for the WSTB:
The Academy offers optional practice sessions for the WSTB. You will receive instruction and practice for the Fence Climb, Obstacle Course, Dummy Drag and 1.5 mile run. View WSTB practice schedule
Pre-employment Written Testing for San Jose PD:

The mission of The Academy is to meet the educational and training needs of public safety students within the areas represented by the participating community college districts. Courses offered must meet a regional need of either small or large public safety agencies. Courses will also be carefully articulated with lower division academic programs and upper division transfer degree programs. Liaison will be maintained with the Region Six "Public Safety Training Committee" which is charged with the development of regional facilities and technology for skill development.
