The Lafayette Police Department is hosting a physical fitness recruitment event on Saturday, March 23 from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. at the track and field facility at Teurlings High School, 139 Teurlings Drive.
The event will start promptly at 8 a.m. with a physical fitness test, so anyone who wants to participate should be there before 7:45 a.m. to register. Participants should bring water bottles or sports drinks with them.
Participants should wear athletic clothing, including athletic shoes, and be ready to complete push-ups, sit-ups, a 300-meter sprint and an "officer down" drill.
The Lafayette Police Department will have PT instructors on hand and will begin the morning with a warm-up and stretch.
