Law Enforcement Physical Abilities Testing Equipment

The Office of Public Safety has recently completed the development of a new physical performance standard for entry-level police officer candidates, as required by Civil Service Law § 58 and Executive Law § 840, to become a police officer in NYS. The next phase of this project is the procurement of the following equipment from LEPAT which is necessary for local civil service and hiring police agencies to administer the new test. 1. Portable stairs – A 6-step portable stair unit with a 7-inch rise and 12-inch run per step, used to simulate climbing three stories during the performance of duty. 2. Physical Control Simulator – A device designed to replicate the gross muscular demands associated with dynamic pushing and pulling forces encountered during subject control situations. 3. Physical Control Simulator portable base plate – A base designed to securely anchor the simulator for use in various locations without permanent wall mounting. 4. 6-foot solid wall – A portable wall designed for efficient setup and used to assess a candidate’s ability to surmount a vertical barrier.
