Before you younger guys or former marines answer the following, put your self in the shoes of a 40+ year old!
The Montreal Police are in the process of taking over security in our metro system. The Security Officers/By-Law Enforcement Agents are being offered jobs with the new police squad IF they meet the police requirements. Most of the staff already have the educational requirements. They have their driving licesnes for emergency vehicles. The only extra training most need is firearms since they presently are only armed with PR-24s. I problem that has come up which has meant that a large number of security people have been rejected is that the 40+ year olds are being expected to pass the same physical fitness test as a 20 year old recruit. Is this fair? Would it not be fairer if they were required to be in the same physical condition as the average 40 year old donut eating cop?
