The Alberta Physical Readiness Evaluation for Police Officers (A-PREP) is the provincial standard used to determine the physical suitability of applicants. The A-PREP consists of a pursuit restraint circuit that simulates a foot chase and an aerobic shuttle run.

For a detailed description of the A-PREP test please watch the A-PREP video:

As the A-PREP may require a maximal effort, prior to completing the A-PREP all applicants must have a medical doctor complete an A-PREP Medical Clearance Form. The Medical Clearance Form is valid for six months from the date it was completed.

To prepare for the A-PREP you can download the 6 weeks to a better Leger and the A-PREP Fit to Serve.
