Well, you need to run or jog at least 1 mile 5 times a week. You need that if you are chasing a suspect on foot.
You also need to know at least one martial art; aikido is best for arresting suspects, probably.
You also need to do squat exercises, because when cops are shot at, you often bend your body in a squat position to avoid the bullets.
Hope all of this helps.

City Police physical exams are actually pretty easy if you ask me. For example, the Dallas Police Department requires you to perform 4 push-ups in a minute to pass the minimum bar....yeah that is sad...So you dont need an "Ahnuld" physique to pass the exam, you should just be like one of those health conscious gym attending people and you'll be well off!
Oh yeah, good luck!!!!

Practice. Be able to do lots and lots of push-ups and sit-ups very fast. Also practice both your speed and endurance running. Ensure that your weight is commensurate with your height and that your body fat percentage is in line. Working on your flexibility is important too for the sit and reach that most departments will gauge. Good luck.

Run fast. Try hard. Do your best.
Without more info about which department or specific physical test you are talking about, no one can give you the specific advice you are looking for.7

It would depend on what you state requires for testing purposes. Mine relied heavily on running and push ups as well as a timed dummy 150 lb dummy drag and 90 lb dummy carry as well as an obstacle coarse.
