The only exception covered a period of approximately 8 months from late 2019 into 2020 during the Covid pandemic.

B

During the entire time periods specified, the numbers who have failed are fewer than 5 and therefore this information is withheld in order to prevent officers being identified. Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.

As a reasonable adjustment, Officers are offered the Chester Treadmill Police Walk Test as an alternative test.

C

There have been no officers dismissed as a result of failing their fitness test.
