From next year, the standard for the physical examination of the Police Officer Recruitment Test will be raised.
The National Police Agency recently reported to the National Police Committee a 'Partial Amendment to the Enforcement Regulations of the Police Officer Appointment Ordinance'.
The amended ordinance includes the content that the evaluation criteria for three sports, including sit-ups, left and right grip strength, and push-ups, during the physical fitness test for police officers are to be the same as for executive candidates.
For male applicants, you need to add 1-10 more push-ups than the current standard to get the same score. .
The revised standards will be applied from next year.
In addition, the push-up posture of female volunteers who are kneeling will be changed to the same as that of men in the second half of this year.
In addition, from 2026, a 'circular physical examination' that applies the same standards for men and women will be introduced.
