My ex is a police office for a little over five years now. When she was going through the institute she finished second in the fitness standards amongst all the recruits not just the women.

That makes me sad. While I love being strong and fit, men should be stronger, faster… etc. than women.

Every male that was beat by her should be ashamed.

Yes, I am sure they are eating the pain away as we speak. She forced them to find comfort foods and now Dunkin Donuts is bankrupt.

And here I always thought that emotional eating was a female thing. I guess that I am wrong.

They arent fat or lazy, they are just powerlifters.

Heres my little bit of info-
In Kansas the local and county police are fat. State troopers are skinny, but not strong in any fashion. The state agency type police are fat. We have a potbellied 62 year old on our force. He waddles around, and I am hoping he retires soon[/quote]

How in shape do they have to be to chase the cows that get loose anyway?

its safe a bet that this “institute” placed alot more emphasis on endurance running then lets say pullups, pushups or strength tests. I personally could care less if a female could run 6 miles in a faster time then me, as long as i was stronger and faster in sprints.

and if im wrong, then god help the males in that department…

I know of one Dept in the area with a yearly PT test. Ironically there’s a private security force in the area with higher standards than any PD. They run a timed mile n a half every 4 months, and a gym membership and a jujitsu instructor are part of the benefit package. [/quote]

There’s nothing ironic about that at all. Private firms are better at almost everything than the gov’t. Even the best military men we have aren’t the gov’t boys, but rather the Blackwater and Dynacorp guys.

That’s not so crazy. Try this, the USBP currently allows management to use the gym on-duty for three hours per week. They have offered to allow the bargaining members the same deal, without any strings attached. No testing, no disciplinary, not a requiremtent, just use the gym if you want.

The National Border Patrol Councel says no. Reason? They don’t want the USBP to create a standard of physical fitness.

Unreal.[/quote]

Unreal is right! I thought I had a sweet deal, being a security officer at a privetly held corporation that also owns a gym 3 blocks from my house. I get an employee discount, which cuts my rate about in half ($22 n change per month) which is cool, but no one has ever 1)offered me a free gym membership, or 2)offered to pay me to work out! Man oh man, the forces of fatassery seem to be making headway daily.

You would think that with NYPD’s proud heritage and after all the media attention from 9 11 that they would take more pride in departmental standards.

49

Wow, I can’t believe that I am actually responding to a post…and agreeing with the cop hating PGA2000! I’ve been on the job in LA for about 9 years now, and the standards have been relaxed in a big way…I did a stint teaching at the Academy for a while so I saw it first hand

I think that the reason most recruits are fat now is because they are looking for a secure job with good benefits. They are not warriors, they didn’t “hear the call”…They just saw the dollar signs.

And yes, most female Officers are disgusting. Thank god they usually go “inside the building” after their mandatory field time. When my wife and I were at an awards ceremony honoring myself and some other returning OIF vets, we saw a female so fat that she could not wear a gunbelt. My wife asked if she was really a cop! Made me sick.

As far as fat old timers, that’s nothing new…It used to be that the Boots (rookies) would jump out and give chase, now, not so much.

This is what happens when you stop hiring warriors and start hiring soft little pussies. The Force is really just a microcosm of the city it serves, so do fat, unmotivated Cops really surprise you? Liberals hate to uphold standards in government service because it “hurts peoples feelings”. Don’t blame your Police Departments, blame your local Governments. The local governments ALWAYS drive the policy. Liberals look at the fat and sloppy and find excuses. We look at them and find weakness. If we want to change that, we need to get to where we drive the policy. Either that or stand by to pay these fat turds medical benefits when they are medically retired at age 35!

I work my shift, teach Martial arts, do freelance writing, compete in IDPA matches, raise three kids, fuck my wife and still find time to stay in shape. I HATE these motherfuckers that reflect poorly on my calling.

I had a wise old Sgt. calm me down once when a fat, lazy turd pissed me off…He said “just remember, 10% of us do 80% of the work. When these turds look in the mirror they WISH they were us!” It made me feel better then, and it still does now.

As far as Unions go, it’s true…all they do most of the time is protect the sick, lame, and lazy. That being said, they are real handy to have around when some asshole gangster is making a personell complaint because you had to use force to effect the arrest.

I was not aware political beleifs affected ones waistline. So, should I become a liberal while bulking, and conservative while cutting? what about maintenance, should is switch to more of a moderate?

51

I was referring to the policies that allow the fatbodies to keep getting fatter on the Cities (and your!!) dime, not the individual Officers personal beliefs. But you probably already knew that. I personally don’t care what my partners politics are, as long as they show up ready to handle their business.

Its extremely hard to have high standards for the largest department in the country, that constantly needs to fill thousands of jos each year.
Add to that they pay perhaps one of the lowest salaries in the country, its hard to have too high of standards.

It’s happening here too in Asia…
Fat Cops.

54

Every time I read a post by a police officer on these forums, I cringe. I honestly cry a little bit inside, and then I remember why it is that some people end up as police officers, firemen, etc.

My issues: The moron blaming obesity on liberals. Wow, way to totally embarass yourself. Where’s my grain farmers at? The red states, chump.
The guy taking the MAJOR issue at a picture of a fat officer incidentally being a new york police officer. Seriously, I thought that was a joke post at first.
The guy who claims everyone in the marine corps can run a 5k under 18, do 20 pullups, and 100 situps in 2 minutes. Yes, because our marine corps is breeding supermen.

Jeremy,
Great post. Right on the money with TRYING to explain to others how local politics work and can often negatively effect city departments.
Also, like you said, police unions do protect good cops from street scum a lot.
Again, good post.

Exactly.

What I can’t understand is that if you were a cop, why wouldn’t you want to be in shape? Your life depends on it…what better incentive is there?

Seems to be a lot of animosity here towards female cops also…call me sexist or old fashioned, but that really pisses me off that they can be cops and be in such shit shape.

Women are not exactly made for hand to hand combat, and “average guy” will nearly always fuck up “average woman”.

Not too mention that if they’re a prisoner who’s been lifting for years, or a “average guy” on PCP, that woman cop is dead, and God knows how many others get hurt because of her.

This one area is certainly one of my non-liberal areas… if they want to be cops, they have got to prove they can handle the physical tasks. If not, then go whine about equal rights to God, because he sure as shit didn’t give you an equal bone structure.

I am a police officer in Canada. The department I work for is not too bad for out of shape cops. As all the baby boomers are retiring the force is hiring like mad these days and so the force becomes quite junior. That mean less of the fat cops.

I do agree that there should be some type of fitness test or criteria, but here there is absolutely no incentive to exercise beyond one’s own personal motivation. The “gym” at my station is a joke and I don’t use it even though it is free. The job itself is basically sitting in a car for 12 hours a day with various periods of getting out and standing for several minutes.

I think if the police department was to set up a mandatory test they should also have a gym with decent equipment and someone with some knowledge to answer questions and maybe set up a program. Perhaps there could be time for officers to exercise before or after the shift while still getting paid. Sure, other professions often don’t get these benefits but fitness can be a factor in a cops ability to do the job. It’s pretty rare but there are fights, chases and other physical incidents.

I have worked for the Dallas police department and was never involved in a shooting while there. I then moved back home to Olathe, Kansas with a population of about 110,000 where I was involved in a shooting of a bank robbery suspect who took six employees hostage, fired at officers, led us on a chase and then tried to high jack a plane at a local airport where he was shot by myself and several other officers. It was covered live by local and national news.

But now it’s back to those pesky cows. Thank God I lift weights though cuz those cows is big and strong.
