I recently got an application for the NC Highway Patrol. Theres one question I forgot to ask the recruiter. Wonder if anyone could let me know. I'm 5'6 and weigh only 130lbs. I know I can physically do anything they can put me through. They gave me a list of things to work on, as in so many push ups, sit ups, sit and reaches per minute. Plus the mile and half run. I have this list already covered. I'm just worried they're going to look at me and think i'm a joke. Will this affect my chances of being accepted into the academy?

I once saw a county officer in my jurisdiction who looked like he was 12 yoa. Seriously, he was prob 505/120 and looked like a middleschooler. I havent seen him in a while, but he got hired. Im sure he got a regular dose of trouble from perps but in the end, if an officer needs help and asks for it, we come out of the woodwork to assist.John 3:16

He is a good guy though. Needs some time on the job and he will do fine.

We no longer have a minimum height.
If you give 100%, no one is going to think twice about your size. One of the smaller guys I've known on the Patrol was a great ground grappler and was into the MMA stuff. He looked like his shirt was on a coathanger, but he was tougher than 99% of the bigger guys.
