Virtual 20-metre Shuttle Run

The Leger 20-metre Shuttle Run is an essential part of our hiring process to assess your cardiovascular ability for the position of Police Constable. We have designed this instruction page to be used with the tutorial video. At a minimum, you are required to demonstrate your ability to meet a level 7. However, we encourage you to reach the maximum possible level.

SETTING UP THE SHUTTLE RUN

Required items

  • A safe flat and even surface without debris.

  • A Measuring tape.

  • Two items to mark 20-metre distance lines such as cans, cereal boxes, pylons or anything that will be visible to the camera.

  • Two items to mark warning lines such as cans, cereal boxes, pylons or anything that will be visible to the camera.

  • An audio playback device to play the shuttle run audio (beep test). It must be loud enough for the video to capture the audio.

  • A video recording device such as a cellphone or video camera.

  • The official shuttle run audio file. The audio will be sent to you by the recruiting team. Only use the audio we send you. We will not accept any other versions of the shuttle run audio.
