This is in response to Matt.. I my self can tell you that the physical agility test is hard. I was one of the canidates there. I barely made it thru. Its a hard test. Lets see if you can pass that test. RIP Sergio. You would have made an excellent officer. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Sergio.

I feel so bad for this man and his family....RIP. But really? Most officers that I see...Well lets just say that most departments need to have some type of PT for the officers. Like the military does. I would not hesitate one second if I had to run from a officer....in Springs or anywhere... Most of them are not fit at all. Most teens could out run 95% of the cops that I see. Dont get me wrong I have respect for Cops we need them on our streets more than most think, but....look around....They need PT to keep up with criminals.
