·Does anybody know where the state came up with an age limit of 32? I recall a while back Boston P.D. and Fire Dept. hired guys over 50. I also recall when the age limit was 36. I have found only one study done by or for L.A.P.D. concluding injuries were more common in hires over 34.
ALso why is the limit set differently in different communities. I know several people that were hired at 35-36 and are in great shape at age 50 - 55. No I am not over 50, I'm younger than 34 but older than 32..... I am planning to get Paramedic license by mid 2004 as I feel that may be my last chance to get on P.D. or F.D. I heard that Boston F.D. no longer had to abide by the racial quota law set in motion way back when as they have surpassed the goals set by the law. I am sure there will be appeals for various reasons, some good, some bad. I do not know about B.P.D. Any way, any info on age limits, discrimination cases, etc. would be appreciated.
