All candidates must undergo a physical by WCA Hospital in Jamestown. This is the only facility allowed to perform academy physicals. Once a physician has deemed you medically physically fit, candidates must meet the following requirements:
- Perform and pass a pre academy physical fitness test. The requirements are minimum mandates established by the New York State DCJS.
For males they are; 1.5 mile run in under 12:29, 38 sit-ups in a minute, 29 push-ups with no time limit
For females they are; 1.5 mile run in under 15:04, 32 sit-ups in a minute and 15 push-ups with no time limit - Take a written psychological examination that is evaluated by a licensed doctor certified to evaluate these occupational health exams. The academy contracts with a doctor for this purpose and his practice is the only firm allowed to evaluate the exams
- Have vision that is at 20/100 uncorrected and 20/20 corrected. Note: Color blindness disqualifies candidates from attendance
