I think its weird that physical fitness be a requirement, when half the cops in my town are 250-300 lbs!
by the way, NOT muscle

Yeah the 'older' cops...... the new ones coming out, I swear are heavily athletic. The DEPOT (RCMP) for example is beyond anything I've ever imagined. I've had a buddy go though there, you couldn't even recognize the guy afterwards from how much weight he loss and he was in excellent shape before. His whole head/face was different.
There's mandatory physical training in all departments now, even to get in you have to pass a grueling physical test. It's not very easy. The one in this city is an easier one then say Edmonton for example.
I can very much understand WHY cops getting through their training are so proud. It's a HUGE accomplishment.
