Answer: Physical Fitness is very important for Law enforcement officers, it allows them to be prepared if they ever encounter hands action on with one of their suspects. Physical fitness can also come in handy if they ever have a run away suspect they wont get exhausted 5 minutes into their chase.

Answer:

Short answer? To be able to 100% do their job correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Police officers should be able to have the body strength to over power somebody when needed, to chase someone if needed, and to break down barriers. They are also less likely to sustain any injuries when they have a better physical fitness ability.
