I noticed some male and female security guards/police officers have a big pudgy frame but aren't exactly built to run fast or be nimble, such as chasing suspects that jump over walls,fences,etc.I visited someone in a prison and noticed that the officers there were bulky/big with a large gut but still intimidating...they can probably hold someone in a headlock with no problems, but it would probably be more difficult for them to chase after suspects than the more toned/agile officer.I was wondering if you work in that industry:what specific physical requirements do they look for in being a security guard or police officer and whether they must be fit enough and a speedy runner and why it isn't necessary for some to be a healthy body weight/shape?? but the paramedics I've seen, who don't have to pursue criminals on foot chases or need to restrain people with physical power, usually have well-built bodies?! have you noticed this? no links.give your personal experiences/opinions??? thanks.
