There is an annual test given to each police officer to make sure they can still preform. If they cannot pass the physical requirments, they are given a certain amount of time to fix the problem. if they cannot fix it, they are let go.

Not likely to happen, but a sheriff (not a deputy) is an elected position. A tub of lard with the neccessary credentials (an Administrative Peace Officers Standard and Training Certificate in my state) could get elected if that is what the voters wanted.

The late Sheriff Harry Lee of Jefferson approached that weight before he underwent a form of stomach surgery. We re-elected him anyway because he was so good as a sheriff.

Sure, the sheriff or Jefferson county Oregon is a big man and an excellent sheriff. I doubt that he was always as big as he is now but would be surprised if he were ever "a stick figure".

BECAUSE OF THE STANDARDS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO BE ABLE TO DO AN AGILITY TEST EVERY YEAR, HIGHLY DOUBTFUL.
BUT IF THE INDIVIDUAL CAN PASS THE TEST AT 400 LBS THEN HE MUST BE REFRIGERATOR PERRY.

Yes, depending on department policies
Most departments have physical standards for officers when they apply. However, many do not have standards after an officer is hired.
