In Police training, what requirements are there for running?
As a new recruit, how far are you expected to run? How often? Please provide any insight into this with as much detail as possible for the subject of new police recruits and level of fitness expected/required for the training. Please do not comment on physical ability tests prior to being accepted as a new recruit.
You have to be in top physical condition. However, it depends on the hiring standards of the department. Every academy has different standards. Some require a mile and a half run in under 12 minutes and some in under 17. I know an academy in Northwest Florida has recruits run 2 miles the entire academy and offer little or no PT. However, in other parts of the country 5-7 miles every other day seems to be the norm. Expect high intensity. I hate running just as much as the next guy, but you have to do it. I’ve been to 2 academies, passed both. I am now gearing up for my 3rd, because I refuse to settle for anything less than what I am capable of for a job.
