Springs Officers Will No Longer Take Fitness Tests After Discrimination Lawsuit
November 10, 2015 9:19 PM

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – “I think it’s wrong.”

Colorado Springs residents had a lot to say after hearing that Colorado Springs police officers will no longer have to take physical fitness tests this year.

“I think it’s a mistake,” Mary Jo Piccin told CBS4’s Tom Mustin. “I think the police need to be able to chase down them criminals.”

Last Friday the Colorado Springs Police Department agreed to the demands of 12 female officers who filed a civil suit claiming the fitness tests are discriminatory. All the officers were over the age of 40.

The suit will now move to a federal court. Police Chief Pete Carey says he’s disappointed, but will abide by the judge’s decision.

“I very firmly stand behind physical fitness tests for our officers. I think what I’m asking them to do is fair and my hope is a federal judge also agrees with this,” Carey said.

I'm surprised there is an agency that consistently tests its officers fitness. As far as I know, most places only test to pass the academy. Have you seen the average cop?! We should start a change.org petition to make it a federal law, all U.S. police officers must pass a PT test every 6 months to stay employed!

I have followed this for quite some time it seems standards for public service everywhere are being lowered for females to maintain the Politically Correct status quo its a darn shame...

Look at the plus side. If this is successful, it will soon be so much easier to get into SF after the first lawsuits are filed there. Finally the hipsters will be able to authenticate those beards.
