Re: anyone know the standards for the physical test? The run

If you are referring to the Massachusetts standards to get into the full time municipal police academy then there is no standard. All you have to do is finish an obstacle course in a given amount of time. Not sure what the time is but I believe it is different for each age group and gender.

Most NON-Massachusetts require cooper-standard similar requirements, such as:

X amount of situps
X amount of pushups
1.5 mile run
Bench Press of X Percent of your body weight.

Massachusetts Town Jobs:
1 obstacle course

Massachusetts Colleges that send you to the Special State Police Academy:
2 Obstacle courses
