Physical Tasks

The Police Standards Advisory Council (PSAC) has established a set of required physical tasks to be accomplished prior to certification.

The student will demonstrate their ability to complete such tasks during the Basic Training or Reactivation/Reciprocity sessions.

Depending on your current state of physical readiness, these tasks may seem either quite elementary or quite challenging.

There is no prize for completing a task faster or more stylishly. Complete the task safely.
