What kind of physical fitness and education is required to be MCPD? Ah, found it.
I don't even know what that means.

They have minimum physical fitness standards somewhere that you have to be able to pass. It isn't terribly hard.

For Montgomery County I would think a candidate would have to be bilingual.
And have a PHD in nuclear physics.
The ability to burn oxygen. A measure of fitness in aerobic exercise.
The MET unit reflects the resting volume oxygen consumption per minute (VO2) for a 70-kg, 40-year-old man, with 1 MET equivalent to 3.5 mL/min/kg of body weight.
Iow there is a speed and incline you have to reach on the treadmill.
The formula is simple ;-)
Oxygen utilization (ml/kg/min) = (mph x 2.68) + (1.8 x 26.82 x mph x grade/100) + 3.5.
13 MET is 4.2mph on a 16% incline for 3minutes.

We have new fitness standards for recruits. We use the Cooper test.

12 METs should be easy for a young, healthy male. If you are overweight, or do not exercise regularly the 12 METs might put you above the 90% target heart rate threshold but I don't know if they care as much about that as long as you can maintain the MET standard for the time required, or simply hit it. The Bruce protocol on the treadmill is designed to get a person to a high heart rate relatively quickly to screen folks in a time efficient manner.

Working here beats being homeless I guess.
Pretty soon they won't even need English....

Huh. I heard the next session was supposed to be tiny to begin with. Maybe they decided it wasn't worth it? When I went through PSTA there were 75 other candidates to distract the instructors from my incompetence. Couldn't imagine being in a class of 20. But maybe that was just scuttlebutt

As to the educational requirements, I believe that they require a minimum of 60 credits.

60 credits and they are pretty lenient. I got a ton of credit that transferred from my military time to UMUC. The credits were on the UMUC transcript, and Moco accepted that. I think the recruiter even say they don't care where they come from, just as long as they are on an official transcript.
I was all set to go through with it all but then the fact that I would be taking a 50% paycut and I have two kids hit me, and I balked out.
I will probably regret not doing it, but gotta do whats right for the family.

The credit requirement was lifted for applications with leo or military experience.

I just looked, I guess that was a recent change? A great change none the less!
