Anna Miller most police departments do require that their officers do tests after completion/graduation of the academy whether it be 1,2,3, or even 4 times a year some police departments don’t require it. Although I am a police officer in D.C. I cannot speak on behalf of New Zealand.
@NZrattlesnake That's probably because your really fit.They're designed to see if you meet the standard physical requirements that are strained on you in the line of duty,not to see if your an olympic athlete.
XxVenomxX He's also never done it before and has clearly had no training. It was a good effort for his circumstance. Also, is easy enough f or you to comment isn't it considering you never tried it.
at least he wasn't scarred to try. And those walls are so tricky, especially when you lost your breath and do it first or second time in your whole life. Good job Britton!
Guy ran too hard by the looks, from the tyre to the beam.. no excuse for the lack of thought process on the wall and the fence though, just ran himself straight at the fence without thinking :p
I really commend you for your video. You were great. I was training to be a cop of Ottawa. I had bad bad accident that doesn't allow me for that. I really liked your trying a lot. I can't do half of that. You did great.
They are where I am. Run 1.5 miles in under 11 minutes 58 seconds, 35 pushups in 1 minute, and 46 sit ups in 1 minute. That's just to qualify for the academy. Recruits should expect to run at leat 3 miles on the first day.
They have changed all the testing now however. Its different for every department as some of the smaller ones don't even require it in my state. The larger ones however do. The tests I had to take were a 1.5 mile run, 400 meter dash, push-ups for 60 sec, sit ups for 60 sec, drag a 150lb dummy for 25 meters, and a few others had pull-ups as well. Most have a 25 push-up and sit up min though. Im sure it varies from state to state however, that is just for WI.
@PumpkinAttacker alot of people are actually less active when they get to 20 years old. hes one of them. no offense to anyone who doesnt excersise regularly
"I don't have to run faster than the bear, I just have to run faster than you." or "Rule 1: Cardio" this guy is toast during the zombie apocalypse. I was expecting a faceplant @ 1:38
just imagine this guy on american ninja ''the warped wall''. this guy's the camera man ,isn't the camera he uses heavy. you would think he would have the arm strength.
@alexlucamacri Probably bc age has nothing to do with fence climbing ability... "Wow I'm 12 and I can crawl under that truck easily. That must mean I'll be a super human when I'm older!" You're 14, you probably weigh a lot less than he does, and have time to run around and climb things. You have a huge advantage over any middle aged adult. When I was your age I could do 350 pushups non-stop. I can't do that now because I weigh more and have other things I need to do.
It's not meant to be difficult, it's just designed to prepare recruits for potential obstacles they may face on the job, that way they can work on certain parts they may have struggled with.
He was doing great up until that wall.. its a shame cause he is about 5-11 or so and I've seen women.. Shorter than 5-4 able to clear the 6 foot wall with No problem. Height helps but its More upper body strength.. Dude needs to do push ups or hit the weight room.
The test is not impossible, but not even easy, you have to be fit to accomplish it. Also, keep in mind that a cop is not a cop when he passes through this test: it is a necessary but not sufficient condition. The most of you guys probably lack most of the other requisites for being a cop.
lol the ones i saw that were american or at least california had sand in the parts where you had to run cris cross through cones walls ect also the person they had to drag didnt have a backpack on thats kinda cheating since most people youd drag wont have a backpack on
The course is easy, it’s the time limit you have to do it in that presents the challenge. Time limit depends on your age, a 40 year old has to do it in 2:50, 20 year old has to do it in 2:10.
Yeah I'm fat myself but I passed the police physical, it wasn't too bad, did the wall first shot cause I practiced, hardest part was running I hate running haha
I play football. Easy as hell. My football practice for conditioning is way harder than this. And we have to do it for 2 in a half hours. Easy pass ill be a cop in no time
