The College Station Police Department promotes a healthy lifestyle which, increases an officer’s physical readiness and will reduce the likelihood of injury. The FAST program is designed to allow participants to gain points by participating in health exams, assessments and educational classes combined with a battery of physical tests. The participant may then be eligible to receive a monetary incentive payment based on the amount of points accumulated.
• The battery of tests is created by the Cooper Institute and includes:
• Maximum pushups in one minute
• Maximum sit ups in one minute
• Timed 300 meter sprint
• Time 1 ½ mile run
Participants’ total point values are placed into tiers determined by the amount of monetary incentive as follows:
• Tier 1 = $1,200
• Tier 2 = $900
• Tier 3 = $600
• Tier 4 = $300
• Tier 5 = $50
Employees are also eligible to receive $10/month towards a fitness facility membership.
