This week on Sirens, Slammers and Service, we’re joined by Rachael Stark—a military officer, reserve police officer, death investigator, and leader who has built an incredible career by embracing every opportunity that came her way. 🚔⚡

From the National Guard to policing, investigating sudden and suspicious deaths, and now shaping the future through policy, Rachael shares the lessons that only come from working in some of the toughest environments imaginable. We dive into resilience, leadership, the emotional weight of trauma, and why your career should never become your entire identity.

This conversation is packed with honest stories, practical advice, a few unexpected laughs, and a reminder that asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s one of the strongest things you can do.

And let’s just say... Rachael has one unforgettable story outside of public safety that you won’t see coming. You’ll have to tune in to hear that one. 🎧🔥

💥 Want more power on the Pull/Push? It starts with

💥 Want more power on the Pull/Push? It starts with your feet.

One of the biggest mistakes we see on the Pull/Push machine is athletes trying to muscle their way through with their upper body alone.

✅ Instead, drive off your outside leg. Using your legs to generate force transfers more power into the machine, making every Push or Pull stronger, smoother, and more efficient. Your legs are your biggest muscle group—use them!

At Blue Line Fitness Testing, we don’t just tell you what to do—we show you, coach you, and let you practice until it becomes second nature.

Train on the:
🚓 PARE
👮 COPAT
🚔 APREP
💪 POPAT

…using the same specialized equipment you’ll face on test day, including the pull/push machine, obstacle course, cuff machine, vault, stairs, and more.

Don’t leave your success to chance. Build the technique, confidence, and fitness you need to pass.

📅 Book an Open Gym session, class, or one-on-one training today and get test-day ready.

🚨 Today’s testing was a reality check. 🚨 Over 50%

🚨 Today’s testing was a reality check. 🚨

Over 50% of today’s candidates didn’t pass.

Not because they didn’t want it badly enough. Not because they weren’t capable. But because these tests are designed to challenge you, and you can’t just walk in off the street and expect to pass.

The PARE, COPAT, APREP, PFA and POPAT all demand a combination of strength, power, endurance, agility, and strategy. Preparation matters.

That’s where we come in.

At Blue Line Fitness Testing, we’ve helped thousands of aspiring first responders build the confidence, skills, and fitness they need to show up ready on test day. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to shave precious seconds off your time, we’ve got the coaching, equipment, and experience to help you succeed.

Don’t leave your career to chance.

💙 Train smarter.
💪 Build confidence.
🏃 Show up prepared.
✅ Pass your test.

Your future deserves more than hoping for the best—start preparing today.

🎙️ Pushing the Sled & Holding the Line | Dawn Rich

🎙️ Pushing the Sled & Holding the Line | Dawn Richardson Wilson on Olympics, Corrections & Defying Expectations

This episode of Sirens, Slammers and Service is all about proving people wrong and betting on yourself. We sit down with Dawn Richardson Wilson—two-time Olympian and Correctional Peace Officer at the Calgary Remand Centre—for a conversation that is equal parts grit, sacrifice, and perspective. 🛷🚨

From walking into a bobsled recruitment camp feeling completely out of place to representing Canada on the world stage, Dawn opens up about chasing impossible goals, overcoming doubt, and staying committed when the odds—and sometimes the systems—weren’t built in your favour.

We also get into life inside corrections, balancing elite sport with shift work, finding your voice in high-pressure environments, and why the best teams—whether in sport or public safety—are built on trust, consistency, and showing up for each other.

This episode is raw, honest, and packed with moments that will hit home whether you wear a uniform, compete at a high level, or are simply trying to figure out your next move.

July is booking up quickly and the summer is flyin

July is booking up quickly and the summer is flying by! Don't let September creep up (and all those job postings!) and not have a valid PARE or COPAT certificate to apply!

Not sure if you have what it takes to be a first responder or want to try the test out BEFORE you apply? Book a Practice Test! Designed to prepare you for success on your official test day, this is a coaching and learning session that allows you to experience the full COPAT or PARE in a supportive environment while receiving valuable feedback.

Your session begins with approximately 45 minutes of instruction, including a complete walkthrough of the course, testing standards, equipment, and techniques. You'll have time to practice each obstacle, ask questions, and become comfortable with the course before completing a full timed practice run.
Unlike an official test, if you receive a penalty or do not meet a testing standard, you will still be allowed to complete the entire course so you can experience every component of the COPAT.
Following your practice test, you'll receive a written evaluation highlighting your strengths, areas for improvement, and recommendations to help you prepare for your Official COPAT or PARE Test.

Prepare for the RCMP Police Fitness Assessment (PF

Prepare for the RCMP Police Fitness Assessment (PFA) with expert-led training designed to help applicants build the strength, endurance, agility, and confidence needed to succeed throughout the assessment process and at Depot.

Train the cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, power, and work capacity required for police-specific tasks.
Practice job-related movements in a realistic training environment.
Receive coaching and individual feedback to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

This workshop is ideal for RCMP applicants, future cadets, and individuals pursuing careers in policing or public safety who want structured preparation from experienced instructors who understand the physical demands of law enforcement.

Train with purpose, build confidence, and prepare for the expectations of the RCMP PFA in a supportive, high-performance environment.

🚨 Struggling with the push/pull machine?

Here’s a tip most people don’t know…👇

Gripping higher on the rope can help you control the weight and keep it from dropping into the yellow warning zone. Small adjustment. BIG difference. 💪

This is exactly why training on the real equipment matters.

At Blue Line Fitness Testing, we’ve helped thousands of applicants prepare for the PARE, COPAT, POPAT, and APREP. We know the tests, the standards, and the techniques that can make all the difference on test day.

Don’t leave your success to guesswork. Train where Alberta’s first responders train. 🚔🔥

If you’re thinking about a career in CORRECTIONS,

If you’re thinking about a career in CORRECTIONS, AHS, SHERIFFS or as PEACE OFFICER but have no idea what the COPAT or PARE looks like, these sessions are built for you.

This introductory, hands-on walkthrough is designed for absolute beginners who want to understand the layout of the tests, see the equipment up close, and get comfortable with a few of the key obstacles—without the pressure of a full run or any timing. You’ll learn what each station demands physically, how the transitions feel, and what areas you may want to start training before booking an official practice test.

This is NOT a practice test. You will not run the full course, and you will not be timed. This session is strictly an introduction to help you build familiarity and confidence before your training begins.

What you’ll experience:
A guided tour of the COPAT or PARE setup
Technique tips to help you approach each obstacle safely
A chance to try selected components of the course
Expert coaching and support from the Blue Line team
A clear understanding of what to expect when you’re ready to take the real thing

This is a great first step for anyone feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or simply curious about what the COPAT or PARE actually involves.

Spots are limited to 15 people so we can keep the session personal and supportive.

Secure your spot today and take your first step toward your law enforcement goals!!

🎙️ Armor, Grace & The Weight We Carry | Ryanne Ste

🎙️ Armor, Grace & The Weight We Carry | Ryanne Stellingwerf Gets Real

This episode of Sirens, Slammers and Service is unlike anything we’ve done before. We sit down with Ryanne Stellingwerf—licensed psychotherapist, trauma-informed coach, founder of Discover Solutions and creator of Armor and Grace—for a conversation that cuts straight through the noise. ⚡

Before helping female first responders navigate trauma and burnout, Ryanne spent seven years in Iraq and Afghanistan as a civilian military contractor—living through rocket attacks, adapting to life in war zones, and learning firsthand what survival mode really looks like.

We dig into the cost of high-performance careers, conditioned vigilance, identity outside the uniform, and why so many women feel like they’re carrying two full-time jobs—one at work and one at home.

This episode is raw, honest, and packed with moments that will make you stop and think. If you’ve ever struggled to switch off, wondered who you are outside the job, or felt guilty for wanting something different… this one’s for you.

And trust us—we didn’t even scratch the surface. 🎧🔥
