Den Polizeibeamten muss mitgeteilt werden, dass sie eine Arbeitserlaubnis benötigen, andernfalls droht ihnen die Entlassung

„Every police officer needs to remain match fit to protect their communities.“

Can they include physical fitness in that requirement? 5.3 on the MSFT isn’t really cutting it. 

Raise the pay and requirements for police officers, physical fitness being a priority. Currently you have to pay 4 people’s salary for police to do one officers job because they’re easily overpowered.

As per usual, this is a solution to a non-issue.

If this is meant to deal with people who are physically unfit, we already do that. If you can’t pass the annual fitness test, you are put on a desk job and can’t go out on the street until you are fit enough. If you don’t get yourself fit enough, Unsatisfactory Performance Proceedings (UPP) kicks in, and you are eventually sacked if you don’t sort it.

If this is meant to do with people not keeping up to date with mandatory training, then we already have that. Once again, UPP exists, and can lead to dismissal.

If this is meant to deal with Vetting issues, we already have that. If you can meet vetting standards, you get dismissed.

I can’t think of any problem that this claims to address that doesn’t already have a solution in place. Policing does need major change, but the change it needs is smart investment, and manpower. It does not need a pointless extra layer to bureaucracy.
