The RCMP Physical Abilities Requirement Evaluation (referred to as PARE) is an occupational test used to assess a person's ability to perform the physical demands of police work. It is used in the regular member selection process. It consists of three different stations: an obstacle course, a physical control and a torso bag carry. During the obstacle course, the applicant starts off running, then jumps over a 5' (1.5 m) mat, runs up and down stairs, pulls a U-turn to run back up and down the stairs, then around another cone and jumps over two hurdles 18" (0.45 m) high, then around another cone and performs a vault jump, landing through a controlled fall. This course is repeated six times. During the physical control (push and pull) station, the applicant must push 70 lbs. (32 kg) while completing six 180 degree arcs, then complete four controlled falls, and then pull 70 lbs (32 kg) while completing six 180 degree arcs. Finally, the torso bag carry requires the applicant to carry the bag to safety. This involves lifting it from the ground and carrying it over a distance of 50' (15 m); turning at a cone half way.
