Paul Ormerod: Police Association Vice President on the applications audit taking place after fitness test breaches - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Police Association is underlining why aspiring recruits need to pass the physical aptitude test before joining police college.

Police are doing an audit after revelations three applicants got in - even after failing to meet fitness requirements.

Association Vice President Paul Ormerod says the college requires learning across driving, firearms, hand to hand combat - and more.

"If your physical condition isn't up to at least the minimum level - invariably, you'll be injured and that'll put more pressure on your learning and it could probably even delay your graduation."
