I must admit as I was typing that yesterday I wasn't 100% sure if they already have fitness tests.

Judging by a lot of the police officers I see around London and the surrounding areas the test can't be that hard. How effective can they be if they have to put their belt on with a boomerang when they get dressed?

I've always wanted to commit a crime just to see if I can out-run a copper. I run at amateur athletic events and I often find myself sizing up coppers and security guards to decide whether I could take them in a race. That said, about 20 of the 300 members of the running club I belong to are police.

Years and years ago,a mate of a mate was the proper archetypal "bank robber" proper old school villan.
And he used to train every day so that if he had to leg it he could out run the old bill.

He used to say run 2 miles then be fit enough to still "have a go if I had to".

Lovely

They weren't called the Bow Street runners for nothing.

I think the issue isn't whether you can run further, but faster. I think its more about being nimble and smart, rather than just brute speed. You probably need to be able to sprint fast, and make quick decisions whilst out of eye sight, so as to lose them - Most people when the run, choose to run in a fairly predictable pattern (the opposite direction until they're knackered).

In a chase, car or otherwise, you need to lose your pursuer before they can get support organised. Once that happens, its almost impossible to escape.

Put Theresa May in some strong and stable stocks on parliament square.

I guess it depends on what type of copper you are. I doubt there is too much call for being able to run as a forensics officer - corpses aren't known for their quick pace.

But definitely, the uniform on the street guys, need to be fit.

I propose a formal merger with Switzerland.

Do the coppers in your running club all make a nee nah nee nah noise when they're running?

 


Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

Abolish the Bank of England and print our own money (from thin air) instead.

Do their truncheons make them limp a bit?
