Law Enforcement work has been compared to military experience as "hours of mind numbing boredom punctuated by brief periods of intense, unpredictable, life-threatening action." Both the military and law enforcement are "come as you are" professions. You don’t need physical fitness very often, but when you do, the absence of fitness can have dire consequences for the individual officer, his or her partner, and the public we are sworn to protect.

Maintaining an adequate level of fitness is not only important to job performance, it helps relieve the stress that builds up from day to day in the very demanding profession of law enforcement. The good news is that the requisite levels of fitness are far from Olympian, and can be attained in as little as three hours of training per week. Coupling an exercise program with solid nutritional habits, not using tobacco, and controlling the use of alcohol, the life expectancy of law enforcement officers can approach that of their civilian counterparts.

The Law Enforcement Wellness Association stands ready to assist law enforcement officers and their agencies in sponsoring training that can provide the necessary tools to put officers on a track of fitness and overall wellness. There is no magic pill or potion for attaining a "battle ready" level of physical fitness. It comes through hard work and commitment. Law enforcement officers face the possibility of deadly combat on a daily basis. When the chips are down, and you must act to save yourself, your partner, or a member of the public, are you physically and psychologically ready?

We have both one and two day law enforcement physical fitness training programs available. Please contact us for further information. We would be glad to assist you and/or your agency on a co-hosted training opportunity. This method of providing training to larger groups has been very successful for agencies in the past.
