FLETC PT for Basic Officers

[Piggy]

What is the physical training like for officers in the Basic Police Officers Training Course?

If YOU are referring to the Mixed Basic Police Program, they train afterhours every single day. A 30 minute warm up with calisthenics, 20 minutes of aerobic or anaerobic work. Finish with 20 min cool down.

I am currently at FLETC in the mixed basic program and it depends on the agency you are with. We P.T. for a 2 hr period every other day with our agency instructors and twice a week with the FLETC instructors. Of course this occurred in the first Pre-Basic week, so I don't know if it will change in the first week of actual basic.

Are there any minimum standards or does it depend on the agency. I'm just asking out of curiosity. I went through the VA LETC and it was quite entertaining listening to everyone grunting and groaning for a few hourse everyday.

VA has minimum PT standards but they aren't difficult. I was 29 at the time and I had to run one mile in about 13:30, and I had to do a minimum of somewhere around 36 situps and 26 pushups....give or take a few as I can't remember the exact number.

Fletc has a minimum standard of 25% upon graduation in the 1.5 mile, bench press, flexibility, agility run, and they also do a body fat count
