He was physically exhausted after a 20 second roll on the ground that didn't involve a weapon or a strike being thrown.  The officer literally didn't have the strength to get himself off the floor. (2) The time our plainclothes anti-crime team chased an armed suspect into the projects.  When I got to the 16th floor, my partner for the day was still on the 10th or 11th floor….walking, trying to breathe.  (3) Cops who suffered heart attacks while responding to calls, and (4) September 11, 2001.

Physical fitness standards are long overdue in the law enforcement community.  A sign of the times is the fact that the Los Angeles Police Department, long looked to for its high standards, recently hired a nutritionist to help officers make better food choices.  It's a good start, but more needs to be done.

A vigorously discussed subject in police circles a decade ago was that

September 11th and the plethora of new law enforcement topics and
concerns that resulted from them. Nonetheless, the idea stayed alive,
with more agencies placing a premium (literally, with monetary bonuses)
