I heard in Uk there is no height limit to be a cop. In Italy no woman under 5'4 can be a cop. For men is higher. I like that they don't restrict for height like that, it should be kinda seen individually.

I support the height requirements, because even if a 5’3 man was the strongest in the world, he would still struggle if trying to arrest a man significantly taller than him and who is resisting arrest, and he would also have a more limited reach. Being short is also a disadvantage in a fight regardless of your height.

Of course, given how British police officers are going after people for thought crimes, I unironically support the lack of height requirements for British cops. If I was in England and I said something truthful about transgender people, I would prefer if the cop who came to my door was 4'11. He would not be able to force me to do anything.

A cop is armed though, they don't need to use brute force, when they got a gun. Someone with a gun can force you to do anything, regardless of height, not to talk about the authority and power of being a police officer to force people to follow orders.. And although height is certainly a disadvantage in fight, there are techniques that that makes it less so and allow you to overpower someone bigger. Remind of this thread I saw when people in the police talked about pretty short women handling situation just right:https://www.reddit.com/r/policeuk/comments/l47ork/can_a_small_female_make_a_good_police_officer/

I thought height was an automatic disqualifier for that kinda of position and it can be the wrong thought.

Fair enough. However, British cops don’t carry guns with them, so a British cop being short would have a harder time than a Hungarian or an Italian cop who’s short.

But they should carry electric gun or something? Like USA police is all about gun, it's crazy how easily the can shoot people and not fair at all, in my country a police officer can't go around shooting people like that. Brute force is rarely used. But in USA context, I think height for a police officer matters zero, since they can go around shooting at the first problem lol Do not about Uk, but a police officer should have weapon to protect themselves. Also the police is not just going around taking crimical, there is the mental part, like being a detective .
