Quarterly Physical Fitness Test Results

All full-time Rochester Police Officers are required to take a Quarterly Physical Fitness Test.  Rochester has (3) Officers who have completed the Cooper Aerobics Institute Course, Physical Fitness Specialist.  The test is based on this program.  The events included in the test consist of the Bench Press, Sit & Reach, Sit-Ups, and 1.5 Mile Run.  Scores are based on the Officers demographic group, gender and age.  The departmental average is consistently in the mid to upper 80%.  We know that Physical Fitness is a Critical Component of a Police Officer's job, and Officers Presence and Appearance go a long way in convincing the uncooperative violator that it may be a wise choice to comply with the officers commands.

The Department Test Result Average for November 2009 is: 81%
