Washington State Patrol has a detachment in the building in which I work. Decades ago, WSP dropped the minimum height requirement from 6 feet to allow the WSP to recruit more women, but as a group, they still look fit and healthy. My guess is that WSP achieves this via a body fat test. Maintaining the percent body fat level WSP requires means most people are going to need to run, bicycle, or swim on a regular basis. http://www.wsp.wa.gov/employment/fitness_test.htm
