JTA Physical Task Testing
On November 19, 2025 the Police Standards Advisory Council approved the utilization of the physical task testing to replace the PRET testing for entrance into the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center's academy.

NOTE: This only effects the NLETC Academy in Grand Island. The other agency academies (NSP, Lincoln, OPD, and SDLEA) will utilize their same entrance testing.
The testing will not need to be completed before the start of the basic class. The physical task testing will be conducted during the first week of the basic academy. If the student fails one or more of the tasks listed, they will be given another opportunity in week four to complete the test. Failure to complete the physical task testing will result in separation from training.
