I know some American police departments might require some amount of college credits in criminal justice, not all, but at the very least, you still have to pass a physical fitness test and be in good health physical and mental condition to work at any of them, is that not the same for the UK? I wonder what their academies are like there

I agree that cops should meet fitness requirements. I don’t know the laws in my country, but police officers in Ireland have to go to Garda College (Irish police academy) and pass it before they can become cops. I presume we have fitness and height requirements. But Irish cops have become more tyrannical since the pandemic started and they selectively enforce the COVID restrictions.
