RCMP applicants must meet fitness standards before Depot, and the Physical Abilities Requirement Evaluation (PARE) is one of the most important benchmarks.
The test combines obstacle movement, weight carries, and a controlled push-pull component designed to reflect job-related physical demands. Passing requires both speed and safe technique.
Build a base with running intervals, grip strength work, and repeated circuit practice. Train 8-12 weeks before your test date if you are starting from average fitness.
For standards, timelines, and workout structure, use the RCMP fitness and PARE preparation guide.
