I just found out today (much to my dismay) that one of the agencies that I am thinking about applying for (Las Vegas Metropolitan PD) has done away with pre-employment fitness testing as of this date. Why in the world would such a good department do this??? Isn't it better to weed someone out in the beginning part of the application process than to weed them out in the Academy (where mandatory physical fitness requirements still exist)?
Is this change something that's just happened to the LVMPD, or are other departments out there doing away with their agility tests as well? There may be a shortage of applicants, but I don't think that doing away with basic physical requirements is going to help anything. What do you all think about this?
