The ladder is eight feet 10 inches high. The participant may not skip rungs on the way up or down. Timing stops when the participant has completed the descent and is standing with both feet flat on the ground. The ideal requirement for this test is for the participant to complete the climb in seven seconds, and retrieve the correct object. This test demonstrates the ability to search for contraband concealed in high places using the assistance of equipment such as a ladder.
Obstacle Course is a test of an employee's gross body coordination.
The participant starts at an open doorway and runs to a locked door with a deadbolt-type lock. He or she must unlock the door, proceed through the doorway, and relock the door. Then the participant goes over a desk, under a table, and around two chairs and slaps the top of a locker with his or her hand at the end of that portion of the course. Next the participant proceeds to a cell door, opens it with the appropriate key, enters the cell area, slaps the top of a locker with his or her hand, and leaves through the cell door. At the door, the participant unlocks the door, proceeds through the doorway, relocks the door, and returns to the starting point.
