weight standards

I've done a few search on this website regarding this topic, but haven't found anything conclusive. Do any of your departments have weight standards for new hires and then for veterans officers?

Weight standards vary from agency to agency. Some have them while others do not. The only way to know is to ask each agency. For example, my agency does not have a min/max weight standard; however, you must be able to pass a physical abilities test (PAT).

Weight Standards

Many agencies require weight in proportion to height. Quite a few agencies have continuing physical fitness programs, and require Officer participation. These programs/requirements vary from agency to agency. The continuing fitness programs are increasingly becoming standard with many agencies. The reasons are obvious.
