Village People music (Macho Man), theme from TJ Hooker, or anything by Public Enemy might enhance viewing. However, this test seems to be a much more realistic measure of a candidate’s skills. The current variant of the “Cooper’s Test” for law enforcement, composed of push-ups, sit-ups, running, and “sit & reach” events never made much sense to me. Looks like Montana made an excellent decision with this change.

Wow! Looks way better than the Cooper! Not bad from a state that loves Marijuana more than Missoula and where the people aren’t allowed to pump their own gas!

There’s a state that loves marijuana more than Missoula?!?!

I agree that this is way better than the current Cooper’s Test.

I’m planning on becoming a Montana State Trooper and this doesn’t look hard at all, it actually looks fun. My aunt and uncle are both current Montana State Troopers and they think this test would be so much better than the Cooper Test and I’m really excited to see if they’re right or not.

Umm… I would like to work in Yellowstone County, but they need a trooper in Big Horn County, so thats where I’ll probably end up. But really where ever they need me I’ll go!

Completely off subject, but have you seen the Dodge Chargers? They’re frickin awesome!

sweet, so you cant pick a county? they tell you were your going? I live in missoula county, and yah, just about every cop has a new charger…very nice kinda funny, cause they sold there old police cars to the public, so you always end up seeing a bunch of old police cars that make you hit your breaks when there not police everyone flips em off just cause they scared em
