[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 3805826, member: 17825"] I believe in equal hiring standards. If you can pass the entry exam, you should be able to get the job. If a dude in his 40s or 50s keeps up physical training, he can keep up with the 30 year olds. the problem is that once most dudes hit 40 they let go seems like. On the other hand, you get what you pay for. You want police that take care of themselves, that are professional and fit. but you don't want to pay them professional wages. anything less than 60k to be a cop is an insult. But even if you CAN get a job as someone over 45 as a cop, doesn't mean you should. Sure, with good physical fitness you can manage into your 50s but human males peak at ~33 and every year after that is a gradual decline...It's one thing to risk your own life, but when you're a police officer you're a public servant and the lives of yourself and other officers are at risk. obviously if you've been in the career for a long period of time you can move onto a supervisor type position where it isn't such a big deal. Kinda how i feel about women honestly. they have their place in law enforcement, but they should be partnered with a guy who can handle himself. that's my personal view but it might change if i had personal experience with the career or insight from an LEO professional.
