I am a 7 year veteran police officer. I am also a woman. From this female officer to any other female officer who believes women should have lower physical standard requirements, SHAME ON YOU. What a slap in the face to all the hard work of women in law enforcement who paved the way for us in recent years. Ya know, when sex discrimimatiom was a real problem and not just an over used political buzz word? I don't know you or your circumstances, but I do know that more women than men failing PT tests is NOTHING NEW. Inequality is not a direct link to inequity. I dont agree with what the Chief attempted to implement, but I was and am still held to the same PT standards as men. In order to be hired, to pass the academy, and every subsequent annual PT qualification. I may have to work harder to reach the same goal as my fellow brothers because of a biological disadvantage, but that's what I just call a fact of life. I don't know what your excuse is, but you can take MY gender off that list!
