Law Enforcement (Police / Sheriff)

Varies by state & agency (e.g., POPAT, state POST agility tests)

Educational reference only. The numbers on this page summarize public service regulations for planning purposes. They are not official medical, recruiting, or administrative determinations. Always confirm your status with a recruiter, commanding officer, or hiring agency using the official assessment.

How the screen works

There is no single federal body-composition standard for law enforcement. Most agencies use a validated physical agility test; some screen BMI or body composition locally. Standards differ by state POST (Peace Officer Standards and Training) and by department.

Check the specific agency’s hiring bulletin for the exact physical agility test, medical screen, and any body-composition expectations.
