   This will vary, but the requirements should be provided to anyone who inquires. Very, very early in my time on Yahoo Answers, I was able to find the requirements for one city on their website to answer a similar question — so if you tell me which force you are attempting to learn about, I might be able to find it.

   I also had a patient who was moving across the country to join he force in a major city on the West coast, and he had hearing loss from military service. Fortunately, their guidelines were very specific, and he was really able to meet there criteria. Of course these requirements are to for ENTRY to the academy or force — they don’t seem to perform routine fitness evaluations! LOL!

   Minimum standards in my state are:

   Run 1.5 miles in 15.28 minutes

   25 push-ups in 90 seconds

   25 sit-ups in 90 seconds

   and run an obstacle course consisting of pushing a vehicle 15 feet, run 50 yards and cross a 6 foot fence, run 50 more yards and go through a 2′ x 2′ window, run another 50 yards and drag a 165 lb. mannequin for 25 feet in 90 seconds

   This is not that hard unless you’re extremely out of shape.

   it varies greatly from state to state, and even academy to academy within a state.

   normally running 2 miles wthing certain times, so many push ups and sit ups within a number of minutes.
   Getting over a 6 ft and a 8 ft wall, pulling a dummy a certain distance and so on.
