Police officers who repeatedly fail a basic fitness test could be sacked for not being fit enough to do the job, a report has said. The most radical review of police pay and conditions for more than 30 years found three-quarters of men in Britain's biggest force were overweight or obese, compared with two-thirds of men in the general population.
It called for annual fitness tests to be brought in, with those who repeatedly fail at risk of being docked almost £3,000 and, in the most extreme cases, sacked for unsatisfactory performance.
