Health checks

You need to be in good health to be accepted as a police officer.

Because police officers need to be physically healthy in order to carry out their duties, you will need to be examined to ensure you have no serious health problems.

After you have passed your assessment, you will be given appointment times for an eyesight test (opens in a new window), and a medical examination (opens in a new window).

If you have any specific concerns about the tests, please contact the force you are applying to for more details.
