While in the academy do you train for the physical fitness test or is it suppose to be a one time test? Also do you know the maximum miles that has been required for any in the state of Texas.I want to start training myself to be ready and want to know a goal I should be striving for. Thank you.

I’m transgendered and will be starting treatment as soon as I turn 18. Are transsexuals allowed in the police force? Also, what is the maximum age that someone can apply to the police academy? Thanks

I’m 37, male, Marine Corps sergeant (prior service, discharged 2000). My military occupational specialty was not provost marshal or police oriented. Am I too old to join? I’m 6’2″ tall and 190lb. I’m height/weight appropriate and can still run a 7 min mile. I’ve slowed down a little, but I qualified expert with every weapon I touched.

Size does not matter. If you are able to meet the physical requirements than you would be fine.

Yes you should start by contacting the agency that you are looking to seek employment with to get started.
