TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between anaerobic and aerobic capacity with police-specific task performance, and found that the value of power and change-of-direction speed development for task performance was indicated.

TL;DR: Custody assistant (CA) recruits generally worked harder during circuit training than their fitter counterparts, which supported recommendations for ability-based modifications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the body drag in incoming recruits, compared their results to graduated recruits, and detailed how many achieved current standards without training, and found that all but one incoming recruit completed the drag within 28 s.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of time spent working in custody on the health and fitness of law enforcement officers (LEOs) was investigated, and a retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 48 male and 12 female LEOs, divided into groups based upon time spend working custody: LEO ≤ 24 (≤24 months; n = 15); LEO 2547 (25-47 months, n = 24); and LEO 48+ (≥48 months; N = 21).

TL;DR: This article investigated the health and fitness characteristics of civilian jailer (CJ) recruits entering academy training, detailed between-sex differences, and categorized recruits relative to population norms, finding that male recruits were taller, heavier, had greater grip strength, and completed more push-ups than female recruits (p < 0.001).
