The Law Enforcement Standards Board approved law enforcement agencies to administer the Entry Physical Readiness Test (PRT) at the 6/1/2021 quarterly meeting. The agency is limited to administering the Entry PRT to their own recruits. The Academy Director’s Manual and LESB Policy and Procedures Manual have been updated to reflect the change and is cited for reference:
Law enforcement recruits must complete and pass the entry Physical Readiness Test (PRT) within 180 days prior to taking part in any coursework in the law enforcement academy. The entry PRT may be offered by a LESB-certified academy (technical college or employer-based academy), or by a recruit’s employing agency. The entry PRT must be conducted by a Physical Fitness Assessor registered with the LESB as a Credentialed Instructor, and employer-based academies can require that the entry PRT be conducted under the supervision and control of their academy. Academies and agencies that offer the PRT are required to provide demographics and performance data of participants in the DOJ’s REDCap System.
