Are there fitness requirements for coppers?

[Pat Vegas]

I saw a man running down the street at i'd say casual jogging speed you might run for the bus at this type of pace)

He was a weird chap no shirt on carring a big metal pipe and hair like sideshow bob.

He was being chased by about 6 coppers none of them could get anywhere near him. he ran through the cars and then into the park.

about 1 minute later one more copper turns up clearly way behind the pace and completely knackered.

Is this normal?

Of course this was followed by 4 Police vans storming past a few minutes later. Do they send even more backup when they are embarrassed?

streets. Unbelievable, Geoff :shakehead:
They do have guns, though, I guess so maybe that invalidates the argument for any kind of physical fitness.

That's why they invented tasers.

I was thinking if somebody wanted to grab it he'd have no chance.

afterwards.

So when you join the police you are fit then you do what you like.

[redgunamo]

none of them get enough use. Largely symbolic, ceremonial.

overwhelming numbers, rather than individuals.

In those situations, at least.
