Physical Agility Course

All police recruit and police lateral applicants must successfully complete a physical agility course. The physical agility course is held at the Burbank Police Department Firing Range, located at 2244 Wildwood Canyon Road in Burbank, California.

​

The physical agility course is designed to simulate an urban foot pursuit a police officer might face in the performance of their duties. It must be completed in two minutes (02:00) or less. Candidates have two attempts to successfully complete the course.

​

Physical agility tests are typically held on one Saturday per month. Candidates will be notified of their physical agility test date.

​

*NOTE: As of January 2024, the balance beam obstacle in the physical agility course has been removed. Additionally, the wall climb has been separated from the main obstacle course as its own event. Participants will have 20 seconds to complete the wall climb. The course time for passing remains two minutes (02:00), excluding the wall portion.
