Go to the local police dept or agency you want to work for.

Get an application and job description. This job description will list the duties required, the physical that they are giving.

I would suggest doing the tests they ask one to accomplish.

We had to push a vehicle and driver through an intersection marked out from one point to another (simulated a vehicle out of gas or broken down at a dangerous intersection), walk a balance beam for 60' (walking an area of a narrow gap to go from one building to another), carry a weighted dummy 100 ft,(fire in house and or person partner was shot have to move to safety and they are unconscious) crawl through an open window,(only area open to get into house for a situation) climb a 5' chain link fence and roll over to other side.(Done when chasing a suspect down an alley or across lots)

This all was to be done in less the 2 min.(if you fell off the beam you had to start at beginning)

So best bet, see if you need to lift a 150 lb dummy or need to walk a beam?

Both of these areas flunked half the group of 100 who turned out and a lot were very muscular, but could not maintain a balance on a beam?

Once you know the exercises needed or taskings, do those only until you are perfect.
Reply:well, you did not metion your age.



If you are still in school. study hard and get good grades, see if ther eis a "Ride-a-long" program at yor local Police department and also become a police scout. The more you learn now and are involved in the life you can determine if the career is for you!



Being in shape is very important, but the mind needs to be there too.

talk to an officer and let them know you want to become a Officer. Actually a good place to start! Best Wishes

Reply:the most important is good morals. from there contact your local law center for your states minimum physical requirements. also a good idea to become involved with any type of volunteer policing that the local juridiction (reserves, explorers, or similiar)
Reply:Stay in shape and get a degree. Try criminal justice, psychology, sociology, or any type of human services. You will be amazed at how much your job will require more brain than brawn- more patience than aggression.
Reply:get involved with your community, volunteer you time, or join a group that assist others. they love that.
