Santa Rosa Deputies Must Pass Physical Agility Test

May 21, 2011

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office unveiled a new obstacle course Friday that every sworn officer and detention deputy must be able to complete acceptably.

All sworn law enforcement and detention deputies in Santa Rosa County are required to participate in the obstacle course testing this year.  For personnel hired after January 1, 2010, it is mandatory to pass the test within 8 minutes and 30 seconds.  All members hired prior to that date do not have a “pass” or “fail” for the test at this time.  They will be required to pass the test within a year. If they cannot pass the test, they will be required to be medically evaluated to determine if they are fit for duty.

The course was unveiled Friday morning with Sheriff Wendell Hall running the course in about seven minutes
