Fitness Testing. Because both the University and the Union have a vested interest in ensuring that officers remain physically fit, every officer is required to participate in a physical fitness program. Specifically, every officer is expected to make a good faith effort to engage in fitness training each week and may be subject to discipline if they fail to do so. To assist officers with their training, officers will be afforded a minimum of two (2) hours, but no more than three (3) hours, each week to engage in fitness training. This time may be taken in one hour or ninety minute increments, and may include such activities as strength or cardiovascular training on the department’s premises, as well as walking or jogging along designated routes on the campus. Participation in team or competitive sports, however, is not permitted during this time. Any time requested by an officer to engage in fitness training must be approved in advance by a shift supervisor. In assigning time for fitness training, shift supervisors will strive to schedule such training at either the beginning or the end of an officer’s shift.

As part of this fitness test, officers will be evaluated in the areas of flexibility (as measured by sitting and reaching), upper body strength (as measured through bench pressing), upper body muscle endurance (as measured by push-ups), torso muscle endurance (as measured by sit-ups), and cardiovascular fitness (as measured by a 1.5 mile run/walk). If the officer passes each of these areas in accordance with the standards established for that officer’s gender and age (determined as of the date of the test) with a rating of fair or higher, the officer will be granted one (1) regular workday off with pay. In addition, officers who pass each area of the test with a superior rating for that officer’s gender and age will be awarded an award bar to be worn in accordance with departmental policy. An officer will not be disciplined or otherwise subjected to an adverse em...
