Work Conditions:

 

Work conditions vary by shift.  The majority of tasks are performed outside while working from a police vehicle.  Few tasks require heavy lifting, pushing, pulling or carrying heavy loads.  Flexibility is important because of the need to frequently enter and exit vehicles, inspect buildings, climb over and around obstacles, suddenly move out of the way of dangers, etc.  Mental alertness is very important because of the need to make fine discriminations and decisions concerning subtle cues of impending danger or to discover inconsistencies in witnesses and suspect's testimonies, etc.  Physical and mental demands may change dramatically within a few seconds and tax the maximum of human endurance.  Therefore, officers must maintain a physical and mental state of fitness and readiness that will enable them to handle (with minimal force and often without backup) recurrent contacts and involvement with dangerous and potentially dangerous people, animals and equipment.
