Early in my police career all police officers were required to take part in a yearly physical fitness test. If an officer did well there was a monthly cash bonus. So, some officers had an incentive to stay fit. If an officer didn’t pass the physical fitness requirements there was no penalty. In this cartoon I speculated that some officers could be properly motivated to do well in the yearly physical fitness test.
NOTE: As a junior officer, I had no problems doing well on the physical fitness test. And, I enjoyed receiving the extra money which was the reward.
