Fit for Duty Program

FitForDutyLogo.GIF (4696 bytes)Since 1991, this program has evolved from basic Health Maintenance Requirements (HMR) checks that included blood pressure, cholesterol, and body weight screening, to a full range of health promotion services. We have assisted with the development of the new physical fitness policy implemented in 1996 and continue to work closely with the administration, FOP, and the Fit for Duty Committee to deliver timely and appropriate services. These include:

  • Fit for Duty Officer of the Month - Selected by the Fit for Duty Committee
  • Uniform Ribbon program - Awarded to Officers who have demonstrated a long-term commitment to maintaining their fitness.
  • Health and Fitness Tips
  • Fit for Duty Report in the FOP newsletter
  • Physical Ability Testing
  • Physical Fitness Testing
  • Policy monitoring and record keeping - This includes the blood pressure, cholesterol, and body weight screening and intervention program planning.
