How do I pass the police physical fitness test?
My boyfriend is in school to be a police officer and has tested with many different departments in our area. For southern IL the requirements are 35 sit ups under a minute , a mile and a half in under 14 minutes, Be able to bench press 1 time a certain percent of your body weight, and a sit and reach where you sit with your legs straight out in front of you and you have to reach a certain amount of inches past your toes. I would start with just walk/running on the tread mil or since it’s getting nice going for a jog around your area. I was completely out of shape and I started training with him so he could train with someone and now even I could pass the physical. Good Luck. Most departments want some type of criminal justice degree and wont allow you to test for them unless you have that degree. Some departments also require you to have attended the academy before you test while others will send you to the academy. It varies by department so check around and find out what the requirem
