    They should have to do this once a year

    Cops should have a fitness test every other year to keep them in shape.

      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.

    Haha most forces in the UK pretty much just require you to not be in a coma. 5.4 on bleep test and pushing/pulling ~35kg.

      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.

  • @fixdeluxe1
    @fixdeluxe1 14 років тому +1

    @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.

      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.

    @SuperWaterfowler10 11 років тому

    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.

    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!

  • @137ramiro

    @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

  • @thelister4910
    @thelister4910 13 років тому +1

    @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.

  • @thelister4910

  • @Turner9090

    I know he was already exhausted but if he sprinted up to the wall and jumped he prob would have made it right over

  • @jaycrew6967
    @jaycrew6967 6 років тому +2

    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.

    • @anzaeria
      @anzaeria 3 роки тому

      Pull ups would help too. Looked like he was trying to do a pull up on that wall at one stage but he didn't have the strength.

  • @ventea

    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

    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.
