Law Enforcement Practice testing is a MUST DO if you are preparing to work in Law Enforcement in Alberta. You will need to be prepared to take a test to prove your physical fitness to perform daily duties.
As a member of the law enforcement community, it is expected that you are physically and mentally prepared for any difficult situations you may encounter. However, not every person who wants to work in law enforcement will be in top physical condition.
That is why we offer law enforcement practice testing for tests such as the COPAT, PARE, and POPAT. Within our practice training, we will provide you with a breakdown of the test, feedback on your run with one-on-one training, and tips to improve your testing time. You will also be given as much time as you need to practice on the obstacles such as the Push-Pull machine and the 3-foot vault.
Law enforcement practice testing for The COPAT, PARE, SOPAT, and POPAT are used within the following occupations:
- RCMP
- Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)
- Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan Sheriffs
- Alberta Fish and Wildlife Officers
- Alberta Parks
- Canada Parks
- CP Police (accept both PARE and POPAT)
- Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO)
- Delta Police Department, BC
- Saskatoon Police Department
- Prince Albert Police Department
- Regina Police Department
- New Westminster Police Department

WHAT do i NEED TO KNOW ABOUT law enforcement practice tests in alberta?
There are very few places in Alberta where you are able to practice for law enforcement testing. The reason is many facilities are unable to dedicate their space to solely provide law enforcement testing. That means that unless you are running an official test, their equipment is not being used. At Blue Line Fitness Testing, we are able to dedicate time and space for your practice test for a variety of law enforcement testing. You will be able to play around on the equipment, move through the run and get the best understanding of what is expected of you.
When practicing for the COPAT, SOPAT, PARE, and POPAT, you will be tested under the exact standards prescribed by official protocols. Nikki, our practice testing facilitator (and peace officer of 17 years), will be the one taking you through your test. She will teach you tips and techniques to maximize your time and efficiency, to avoid penalties, and to get the best time possible. Nikki will evaluate your run and provide you with individual feedback for improvement and break down the run to each individual component and time interval.
If you’re struggling with one area, Nikki will examine it and help you improve.
