Not mentioned: the NYPD no longer requires officers to be able to run a mile in less than 18 minutes. Tisch is hiring slow, witless recruits, giving them minimal training and handing them a gun. What could go wrong? gothamist.com/news/from-be...

An 18 minute mile works out to 3.3m/h or 5.4km/h. According to this paper, that's not likely to even reach "moderate physical activity" which results in light muscular fatigue and moderate sweating. So people saying they can walk faster are not exaggerating. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

The only running requirement I see is that you used to have to run 1.5 miles in 14:21, which is about about a 9.5 minute mile. Still not a high bar but much higher than an 18 minute mile, which is a slightly faster than average walk.
