So I recently had a question regarding the Ottawa Police Service fitness requirement to apply to the Ottawa Police Service. We are currently accepting the shuttle run with successful completion of level 7 as the current fitness requirement in our application process, that said, you will still need to pass the full PREP test at the Ontario Police College to graduate from the College. This current fitness requirement is a pilot, studies have shown that if you are able to pass level 7 in the shuttle run, you should be physically able to pass the circuit portion of the PREP Test. So the short answer is get your level 7 shuttle run completed by a properly trained facilitator, you can apply to OPS but with the mindset that you should be training to be successful in the PREP Test. Hope this helps and good luck! Looking forward to seeing your application!
