Since military amputees are staying in the military, I had been wondering how police depts would treat it:

Good for him. If he can pass the physical agility test, I cant see any reason for him to not return to the dept.

Good for him! Used to be a fellow here working for the SO that only had one leg. Lost one as a kid, all the way to the hip, from bone cancer. He got around pretty well on his prosthetic leg though.

Wonder if this will set a precedent on amputees being allowed to apply to become police officers? I think they should be able to, as long as they can pass the test.

must have been a 2000 yard run, you could have crawled 200 yards in that time. I think he showed all his doubters how bad he wanted something.[:D]

They worded it badly. The entire test had to be done under that time, not just the run.
