WASHINGTON (CN) Jump 14 inches off the ground and do 13 push-ups. These tests and three more gave male applicants little trouble in entering the Pennsylvania State Police Academy, but kept a significant amount of women on the sidelines.
Hit with federal discrimination charges in 2014, Pennsylvania and its State Police force agreed Tuesday to adopt new fitness standards and to create a $2.2 million fund for women whose police careers were either derailed or delayed by the old ones.
The Pennsylvania State Police, like most police departments, put applicants through a multi-step process including a background check, drug screening and psychological evaluation before they can be considered for positions as state troopers.
