There are several institutions that offer POPAT testing throughout the year.  Applicants can contact the Pacific Institute of Sports Excellence (PISE) directly at www.pise.ca/testing-assessment or phone 250-220-2510 to register for the Police Officer's Physical Ability Test.  Alternatively applicants can prepare for and complete the POPAT with Sheepdog Self Protection Inc. www.sheepdogselfprotection.com.  The POPAT is a demanding, anaerobic physical test which must be completed in 4 minutes and 15 seconds (click here for the POPAT Protocol). The POPAT results are valid for 12 months. Applicants DO NOT need an invitation from the Recruiting Section to take this test and can take this test at any time.
