Fitness Test Practice Sessions

The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service (SSMPS) will be holding four fitness test practice sessions at Sault College for those who are interested in a career in policing. Sessions will be approximately 3-4 hours and will take place on the following dates/times:

  • Wednesday, November 20, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
  • Saturday, November 23, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

If you are interested in attending, please fill out the registration form below. You will be required to consent to a basic background check. Factors that will come up in a background check and may disqualify you from participating include (but are not limited to): recent police involvement, intimate partner (domestic) violence, criminal charges, affiliation with criminal activity, etc.

If your registration is approved by Uniform Recruitment, you will be sent a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire to complete prior to the session to ensure it is safe for you to participate. Factors that may impact your ability to participate are elevated heart rate, blood pressure, and/or injury.

If your registration is not approved, you will be informed accordingly. Only those whose registration has been approved will be permitted to participate.

Please only register if you are certain you will be able to attend on your chosen date and time as capacity is limited to 20 people per session. If you register and do not show up for your session without a valid reason, you will be ineligible for participation in future sessions. Your missed session will also be kept on file and referenced in any future job applications with SSMPS.

While these sessions are intended to be for learning and practice, those who pass the practice test may choose to use the results as part of their application to SSMPS for up to four months. Those who do not pass the test will not be penalized (i.e. will not have the mandatory 3-month wait period to reapply that normally follows an unsuccessful test).

If you have any questions or need to cancel your registration, please contact Derek MacFarlane, Sergeant of Uniform Recruitment, at d.macfarlane@ssmps.org
