Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
The Job Standard Test
https://www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/careers/police-officers/job-standard-test.page
The Police Officer Candidate Job Standard Test is a timed event comprising six stations that, together, must be completed in four minutes and twenty-eight seconds (4:28) without stopping. The six stations of the Candidate Job Standard Test include:
1: Barrier Surmount: From a kneeling, weapon-ready position, the candidate sprints 50 feet to surmount a six-foot barrier.
2: Stair Climb: The candidate proceeds from the Barrier Surmount to a six-stair climb system, and completes three over-and-back traverses.
3: Physical Restraint Simulation: The candidate proceeds from the Stair Climb to a tactics-and-training device that measures an applicant’s ability to resist or control force in a physical restraint situation.
4: Pursuit Run: The candidate proceeds from the Physical Restraint Simulation to a 600-foot run around a pattern of cones.
5: Victim Rescue: The candidate proceeds from the Pursuit Run to a simulated victim rescue involving a 35-foot drag of a 176 pound mannequin.
6: Trigger Pull: The candidate proceeds from the Victim Rescue to a trigger-pull station, picks up an inoperative firearm, holds the firearm within a nine inch diameter metal ring and pulls the trigger 16 times with the dominant hand, and 15 times with the non-dominant hand. Once inserted, the firearm must remain within the metal ring for the completion of the trigger pull cycles. Timing is stopped upon completion of the final trigger pull.
so Fitness Standards is the only thing keeping women out of Policing ? LOL
Could it be young women are getting less fit?
If that’s the case of lowering standards, the death rate of the nypd is going to climb rapidly.
If you start with the lowest common denominator of fitness for the sake of diversity, you just get a gender- and racially-diverse team of losers.
Police departments have been lowering standards since the 1960s.
The first two I remember were intelligence and height and size, I don’t remember in what order. Then for women, physical fitness and strength.
——1.5-mile timed run requirement——
The true message is that Cops should not chase arrest evaders on foot. Just let them go. Even if arrested and held, the probability for conviction has become low. So, the chase is just not worth the effort.
Evading arrest has evolved into a human right.
Hiding the facts and re-writing History does not change the natural world no matter how many "people are offended" whining/crying is done.
We had a 1.5 mile timed run in the military (once every year)
The females had longer to complete the course than the males ...
We had 16 minutes (I usually did it in 9)
In Texas, we have a State Government that will, when Liberal City Governments go too crazy, spank them hard. Example: The State just took over the Houston ISD. Another: The State regularly disciplines Austin craziness.
But, in New York, the State Government seems as infected (with Liberalism) as the City of New York. Does New York City have to just perish, and become a ghost town, before Common Sense returns?
“God created men. Colonel Colt made them equal.”
Less fit women (and men) will have to resort to firearm use sooner than those more fit.
So there is that reassurance from the Biden administration.
Typical dimmocommie solution to everything: Can’t pass the test? Eliminate any standards. Voila, everyone can pass now! Degrades the entire nation on many facets? Who cares, everyone feels good about themselves. Dimmocommie party: home of non-thinking easily placated sheep, led by a few truly evil tyrants.
Hence reams of these on the internet
This usually follows lowering the mental standards of leadership.
Our country is in a race to the bottom. Lowest common denominator now rules the roost.
So lowering standards for reading and math requirements in public school systems.
And, now lowering requirements for fitness tests for the NYPD in order to impose “equity” and increase the recruitment numbers.
What could possibly go wrong?
