Aren't there PT tests they have to pass?

He urged the officers to lose weight, exercise, quit smoking and limit their drinking.Good advice, Chief.

As far as I'm concerned, cops should be in shape just like soldiers.

Is this the type of leader that you have working for the City of Winter Haven?" I think the better question would be, "IS THIS THE KIND OF POLICE FORCE YOU WANT WORKING IN THE CITY OF WINTER HAVEN?????"

Unbelieveable!!!
You mean that the chief can't set standards for his department? A policeman looks fat anyway with the form fitting uniforms and the bulletproof vests, and , IMHO, a policeman who can not run, disarm, and take down perps is a danger to himself, his fellow officers, and the public.
Years ago, we used to say to the troops in the Army 'SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT". I guess we would have to say today "Have a donut and a coke while we talk about you physical fitness".

This is just crazy. The chief is right so they fire him. Well, *that's* great for morale.

Well, I guess if I was a hopeless, lardass loser, my "morale" would go down if my boss had to audacity to suggest that I get into shape.
Fat cops do not install confidence in law enforcement. If I were a criminal, I'd be fairly certain I could outrun an overweight cop. However, I guess the objective is no to keep the public safe, but to make sure no one gets their feeling hurt. This is indicative of how we are slowly turning into a nation of spineless, emotional lardbags.
Somedays, I wonder: What happened to the American I remember?

This guy is destined for a better job in my opinion.
Could use people like him higher up.
To: John Williams
Issue #1: Really? The mods must have removed that one, because I sure didn't create the link from thin air.
Issue #2: This feel-good PC crap has got to stop. Insisting on physically fit cops?!? How dare they?!? /s

In a footrace, if I ran from 75% of the cops I see today, I will lose them within 60 seconds or less.

City officials said they received two anonymous complaints smeared with chocolate and jelly.

To: Lokibob
It is a lot cheaper to have a cop in shape and on duty than out of shape, on disability, and racking up medical bills at taxpayer expense.
