Funny you should mention that...when I was working up in the Newport News, VA area a while back. They had an officer die of a heart attack while chasing somebody on foot, fairly young officer at that (44 if memory serves me) it brought out the fact that while new recruits had to meet a certain physical standard and pass a PT type test to get on the force they were not required to keep it up. Not sure what the outcome was.
