Is there a limit to how much weight a police officer can gain?

Question

There is this officer that must weigh 300 lbs and just a few years ago he was a average size guy. I see him at Dunkin Donuts and he could not catch anybody if he were in a foot chase.

Answer 1

I doubt it. There are some really fat cops here. One chick looks like Little Orphan Annie- plus about 40 supersized combos.

Answer 2

Usually up to Department policy. That's what stress does.

By the way. I have a friend that is about that size. You would not want to try to out run him, and God help you if he catches you. Don't judge a book...etc.

Answer 3

No.  As long as they can do their jobs, and some are fast.

Don't let the weight fool you.  They have been trained.

Answer 4

i hope so....they said that they go through a serious training camp/ academy before they get in but i dunno about after they get in....i've seen alot of overweight cops its sad really...

cops are supposed to be hot not fat!!

Answer 5

Got you fooled hahaha.

How much do you think you need to weigh to play football? (6'+ and 300 +)

A lot of officers are ex athletes, football, soccer etc.. Not everyone made the Pros.

I was 50, weighed 310, 6' and could run a 100 yards in 18 flat, with full gear on.

Answer 6

No,

not where I live because we have some very fat cops.

Answer 7

depends where you live
