I bet the army is strickter fitness than police i bet....

Army requirements for entry, for a guy:

Run 2.4km in 12 minutes, be able to do 45 curl ups (basically a crunch) and 15 press ups

The police iiirc is significantly less rigorous than this, which is relatively low anyway if you are in any way physically active (or have a month or so to get into shape)

Slightly incorrect if you are in the age bracket 18 to 28:

Run 2,4Km inside 10:50, 150 curl ups, 30 press ups (to the correct technique)...

And yes I spent the better part of mu adult life in the military, and also as an instructor at The Army Training Group (ATG)...

Should tell the army website people they've got it wrong then ;D

Although I was referring to 'entry' fitness level as opposed to 'required' as I felt it more relevant to someone looking at applying

There is a difference between "entry" and required as you stated, the website states "entry", what I posted was the required level (RFL), and what you would need to be at come the 2nd test (in the 2nd calender week of recruit course...)

But i might think your a dangerous fellon who is escaping capture at 50km/.h and i might have to pull you from the car beat you senseless then blow on my pie...safer communities together.

I'll just press my time travel button and trip you up while your getting out of the car...

seriously if you do mr swindog best of luck man!

The guys that do it: do you enjoy the job?

Id want to get into the financial crime area if i did go in, and it would be pretty good imo with my experience and quals.

[dubbedup]

19 weeks recruit course. 18 months with section (beat/patrol etc) then you can choose your group. I see they Interpol which interests me or CIB.

Im pretty keen on doing it but wifey needs to find a new job first.

My mate is in traffic. Hes been a cop 6 years is on 65K a year and just crusies around. If he did a 2 man station like in the country with another cop sharing shifts you earn bucket loads more.

I might even go army styles again and go AOS. I love those masks.

Thats the good bit though. Ive done a few shifts with the guys down here and its actually not that bad. You have your bad moments with people but 99% poeple will listen and be polite etc.
