Anna Miller most police departments do require that their officers do tests after completion/graduation of the academy whether it be 1,2,3, or even 4 times a year some police departments don’t require it. Although I am a police officer in D.C. I cannot speak on behalf of New Zealand.

They have changed all the testing now however. Its different for every department as some of the smaller ones don't even require it in my state. The larger ones however do. The tests I had to take were a 1.5 mile run, 400 meter dash, push-ups for 60 sec, sit ups for 60 sec, drag a 150lb dummy for 25 meters, and a few others had pull-ups as well. Most have a 25 push-up and sit up min though. Im sure it varies from state to state however, that is just for WI.

@alexlucamacri Probably bc age has nothing to do with fence climbing ability... "Wow I'm 12 and I can crawl under that truck easily. That must mean I'll be a super human when I'm older!" You're 14, you probably weigh a lot less than he does, and have time to run around and climb things. You have a huge advantage over any middle aged adult. When I was your age I could do 350 pushups non-stop. I can't do that now because I weigh more and have other things I need to do.

The test is not impossible, but not even easy, you have to be fit to accomplish it. Also, keep in mind that a cop is not a cop when he passes through this test: it is a necessary but not sufficient condition. The most of you guys probably lack most of the other requisites for being a cop.
