    What are your physical requirements and how often do you have to do them? Do you have a weight per height requirement?

    My agency only has pre-hire physical requirements currently. They are currently developing some requirements similar to the Cooper test as an annual physical fitness assessment.
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    This is a pretty standard federal physical fitness test: http://www.fletc.gov/training/progra...tery-peb.html/

    Every agency runs their programs differently, however once you are on the job, testing is not like it is in the military. Participation is valued over meeting any particular standard. One, one, one and walk was a very common joke.

    Where I work now, everyone is old, like me. Doing CPR on a mannequin for one minute would be considered a strenuous work out and much more likely to be needed for one of your co-workers.

    If you have ever passed a PT test in the military, you will not have any problems with most police PT tests.

    Most departments list their pre-employment standards on their web site.

    Be safe.
