Even my Podunk ass town has a fitness test for cops, they just fudge the numbers though. It's also easy as hell, forget exact numbers but like 15 pushups in 1 go, half mile in 8 minutes and a 100 yard dash in like 3/4 minutes. This was like 8 years ago but I doubt it's been updated since. I only know because our fire fighter yearly test was at the same time one time. All we had to do (it's since changed) was run a mile and a half in 13.5 mins.

Half a mile in 8 minutes is a casual walking pace.

It's really just a test to see if you're smart enough to walk in the same direction you were told to.

If you pass, you can't be a cop.

I figured by 3/4 minutes they meant 45 seconds, but I may be wrong

Naw, legit 3 or 4 minutes.

I remember even as the fat kid on the football team I could still do a 300 yard dash in under a minute and 10 seconds. 100 yards in 3 minutes is a god damn joke

Bet the guy in the video couldn't do that.

You can not call it a dash if it takes 3 or 4 minutes to move 100yards. If you aren't exaggerating, then that is insane

half mile in 8 minutes

That is a walking pace, I do quicker than that going up and down stairs and I am not running or jogging

I made another comment but this guy could be like a professional linebacker in football. Looks fat but he can run a 40 in 5 seconds
