There is no reason for offciers to be at unhealthy weight levels. I seen officers in nyc out and times square patroling and theyre belts looks like they are about to snap off. We need fit officers that if need be don’t need to rely on their weapons in order to stop a criminal from running away. There should be physical tests done every 6 months with miminum requirements and mental health tests too.

Why don’t you become a fit police officer?
I am fit
You didn’t answer my question. Why don’t you become a police officer?
In the process
Try working long hours over nights, weekends and holidays. Grab whatever you can to eat and get to the next call. Then try to balance in a home life with a family and see how much time you have to be a gym rat. Workout on duty time? Now the shift is short handed and calls go unanswered.
There was just a mass shooting in Savahhah, GA that my son was in. 3 ppl ended up being shot. My son was fine. It was about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Him and his friends ran and ducked into an alley and hid behind some cars when they started hearing the shots in a public square. While there, they saw a very overweight cop, “running” the other way. Cops have to pass rigorous physical tests to join but then have no standards here. My son is a firefighter and its the opposite. They have to work out every shift…crazy work outs!! They do 9/11 drills in honor of 9/11 where they run up the number of flights of the UN on a regular basis too. My son is crazy fit. Thats how it should be! There should be standards for cops too.
