PHYSICAL FITNESS INCENTIVE AWARD
Over 3,000 Members, including 21 Exempt Members, passed the 2009 Fitness Incentive. This is an increase of 473 compared to the number that passed in 2008 and reflects an increasing commitment to better health and fitness. I encourage all Department employees, not only for yourselves but for the sake of your co-workers and loved ones, to pursue a healthy lifestyle and diet and continue to maintain the highest level of physical readiness possible.
Also, the Education and Training Division Physical Skills Unit will walk you through the entire Power Test and help you prepare for the Physical Fitness Incentive Award Program administered in October. A certified gym staff instructor will monitor and time your events and gauge your current fitness level. You will then be provided with training tips on ways to improve. Starting in July, this class will meet every Thursday at 10:30am and 6:30pm inside the Academy gym. Sworn members may elect to participate voluntarily, during off-duty hours, and without compensation. Injuries, sickness or death will not result in an IOD. Register through E-learning.
