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."
