Hey everyone,
One of the things that is keeping me from applying to the local police is my size. I am a male, and definetely skinny. I am 5'10, and weigh 140 pounds. While my fitness level is not top notch, I do not feel I would have a problem passing the fitness exam.
What are your thoughts (as an officer) of someone who is quite skinny? Would you have a problem working with them because they aren't as physically imposing as most of the other male cops? Should I let my weight issues stop me from applying?
I have always been this way. Since leaving high school 5 years ago, I have gained maybe 15 pounds. I do not have an eating disorder, I am just naturally skinny.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Edit- I guess I posted this in the wrong area...sorry.
