Police fitness test deemed unfair on women

[Mule]

Dunno what the Police tests are, but these are the current Army standards

The test is a piece of piss.

Should be no where near the police or any first responding roles for that matter if you can’t pass the bleep test to that level. Even a really fat twat could train a month and be able to pass that.

I dont believe this

Every female copper ive seen is fit a feck

 

[HABA87]

It's only 5.4, even someone who is below average fitness should barely be breaking sweat at that.

 

[Macho]

Would have assumed the bleep test would have a different male/female target

Perps don’t slow down or become weaker depending who is chasing them.

I often wonder what the deal is in America, how many obese cops they've got. They've surely had to pass some form of physical at some point. Where does it end?, have people in wheel chairs as frontline police because discrimination?. I've been obese, I'm also colourblind you wouldn't want me as your electrician for a reason.

Running isn’t so important in the US, can’t out run a bullet che

Should go further and kick those out who can't keep up with the fitness requirements, pretty much the definition of being unfit for your job.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Just make everything shitter and easier, can't forsee any possible consequences to that

There’s a video knocking about of two female police officers trying to handcuff a gadgy and he just shrugs them off and runs away..the fat woman copper then tries to run after him..it’s like something off Benny Hill.

Aye think of something like that in a more serious situation, terroist incident or someone attacking members of the public and you have people having to tackle that situation that can't manage a light jog or pass strength test.

Exactly..the video is comical when she tries to start running.

Just insist the criminals put less effort in when a female officer is chasing them.

 

[Qwerty]

Think of all the murders that wouldn't have been solved if Colombo was forced to a bleep test

 

[BlackOps]

The tests nowadays are easy anyway. Male, female or penguin, if you can’t pass the bleep test you shouldn’t be hired.

This. Its too easy anyway and should be put up if anything. At 5.4 you're just jogging. Dont want anyone watching my back who cant reach 5.4 on a bleep test

Isn’t that the idea of any test ? If you can’t pass it, you fail.

If the evidence is you need to be a level than that’s what the pass should be. If that’s maths or fitness then that’s the level imo. Will entrance exams be scrapped because it discriminates against thickies? It’s a race to the bottom with stuff like this and failing has no consequences.

Thing is, there is an alternative treadmill test for people where injuries prevent them from stopping and starting. Its easier.

I think american cops have a different attitude. Elected sheriffs etc in towns are a different matter but the front line or specialist roles in state depts, most take fitness pretty seriously.

It would be nice however for the force to actually provide some form of help towards fitness like fire and rescue do.

Sure for some forces its one of their policing principles of professional behaviour to be fit enough to work. World is soft as f*ck

 

[Cheese n Ipa]

Cops should just get Sur-rons and wear balaclavas. They could easily mstch the speed of the black clad chav and with wearing dubious facial covering, big fat plod can go right up to the drug dealers who provide their mind bending concoctions then whip off the mask to reveal that they are not some rat faced job dodging scumbag, but a wannabee Evel Knievel law enforcer here to stop the grass from being churned up from scramblers and souped up bike riders trying to turn other dole wallers into layabout paranoid drug fiends.

If a copper is going to be stopping someone and they are not fit enough to stop/start then I don’t want that copper out there doing that role. Give them a role more suited to their level of fitness and if that’s sitting behind a desk, so be it

 

[Sunhat]

The level in their bleep test is so ridiculously easy that it's an absolute nonsense they think WPC's can't pass it. Anyone who can't is obviously not fit enough to do the job.
