Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are run days. The training session begins with static
stretching. Once the recruits are stretched, they run together as a group. An FHP Training Academy Staff member,
who is a Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) certified instructor, leads the run.
Distances of the group run range from 1.5 miles to 6 miles during each battery of exercise. At the completion of
the run, there is a brief cool-down by marching, followed by more static stretching. Running does not occur on
days when the temperatures are below freezing, when the heat index is unsafe, or when other inclement weather
is present.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are gym days. These training sessions take place in a climate-
controlled gym with padded floors. Gym days consist of static stretching, calisthenics (including but not limited
to push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, windmills, mountain climbers, etc.), followed by static stretching and a cool-
down session. An FHP Training Academy Staff member, who is a CJSTC certified instructor, leads the gym
session.
Most of the FHP Training Academy Staff are certified first responders and instructors.
Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) are located throughout the facility for emergency use, if needed.
Recruits who become injured in any way are referred to a physician for treatment, and if so ordered, are excluded
from fitness training until cleared by the physician.
The FHP Training Academy takes great pride in its physical fitness and wellness program
and has taken every necessary step to provide a safe fitness training environment for its recruits.

by the Florida Highway Patrol. (See Attachment A for the itemized tuition and other course expenses.)
3. I agree that my resignation prior to the expiration of my employment obligation period, for whatever reason, shall

Statutes, to the Florida Highway Patrol at the time of my resignation.
8. If I am unable to repay the entire amount due within sixty (60) days of the date of my resignation, I understand that
the Florida Highway Patrol may institute a civil action to collect the amount due. I agree that this document may be

By submission of my application for employment as a law enforcement officer with the Florida Highway Patrol,
I fully understand that, if employed, I MUST be willing to accept a duty assignment ANY place in the State of
Florida. Duty assignments upon employment are made based on existing vacancies at the time of employment.
If employed by the Florida Highway Patrol, I fully understand and agree that I must remain in my duty assignment

to fill these choice locations.

It is the policy of the Florida Highway Patrol that the credit history and financial condition of the applicant be reviewed.
The credit history will not be a sole basis for disqualification, except that an applicant may be denied employment if he/she
is indebted to the extent that a salary as a law enforcement officer, as supplemented by other monies that are or could be
earned by the applicant and spouse with reasonable diligence, will manifestly be insufficient to pay his/her debts as they
fall due. Failure to pay just debts will disqualify an applicant.
I have been advised and am fully aware that a consumer report will be obtained and examined. The purpose of this
examination is to assist the Florida Highway Patrol in determining my eligibility for the position I am seeking with the
Florida Highway Patrol.
I am fully aware that my refusal to allow a consumer report to be obtained and examined will terminate further consideration

TATTOO and BODY MODIFICATION POLICY AGREEMENT
A Florida Highway Patrol recruit trainee, attending an approved basic recruit training program, who has visible tattoos, does so with the
understanding that they must abide by the following restrictions regarding the type of uniform they will be required to wear in the performance of
their duties and functions. For purposes of this agreement, “member” refers to an active sworn member of the Florida Highway Patrol. “Applicant”
refers to someone attempting to become a member of the Florida Highway Patrol.
A. Under NO circumstances shall any tattoo be visible while the member is in ANY uniform of the Florida Highway Patrol. Members are
permitted to have tattoos provided they conform to the following guidelines:
1. A member with a tattoo anywhere on the arm or wrist area that is visible while wearing any short-sleeve uniform shall be
required to wear the Class A uniform (or Class C uniform with long sleeves, when authorized, by virtue of their assigned
position) anytime a uniform is required.
2. A member with a tattoo anywhere on the neck, face, head, hands, or fingers shall utilize cosmetic cover-up makeup to conceal the
tattoo(s) while the member is in any authorized uniform or attire and/or when representing the Division. The cosmetic cover-up
makeup shall blend in with the natural color of the skin and shall be purchased at the member’s expense.
Trooper applicants with ANY tattoo on the neck, face, head, hands, or fingers SHALL BE DISQUALIFIED. (This section
does not apply to members who have permanent eyeliner, eyebrows or lipstick provided the permanent color is conservative and
compliments the complexion and uniform.)
3. Any tattoo that contains offensive or extremist, sexist, racist, or gang-related material is prohibited and is a disqualification factor
for Trooper applicants.
4. While at the FHP Training Academy, the recruits with tattoos that are visible while wearing the Recruit Class B uniform shall be
required to wear the Recruit Class A uniform. Those same recruits shall not be issued Class B uniforms and shall be required to
wear the Class A uniform (or Class C uniform with long sleeves, when authorized).
Members who choose to obtain tattoos after their hiring date must ensure that they conform to this policy. Any member with a
prohibited tattoo shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
B. Abnormal body modifications to any area of the body visible in any authorized uniform or attire are prohibited. Abnormal body
modifications include, but are not limited to:
1. Tongue splitting or bifurcation.
2. The complete or trans-dermal implantation of any object(s) other than hair replacement.
3. Abnormal shaping of the ears, eyes, or nose.
4. Abnormal filing of the teeth.
5. Branding or scarification.
Nothing in this policy is to be construed as prohibiting body modifications necessitated by any medically or approved procedure. I fully
understand the consequences of this agreement and have had the opportunity to ask questions about it. This form will become part of my official
personnel file.

TASK 1: The test begins with the participant seated in a full-sized motor vehicle, seatbelt on, with hands at the 10 and 2
o’clock positions on the steering wheel. Around the applicant’s waist is a pull-away flag belt with flags positioned over each hip. A
handgun and baton are positioned on the front-center of the trunk floor and the trunk lid in the closed/locked position. On the
command of “Go,” the stopwatch is started and the participant removes their hands from the steering wheel, unfastens the seatbelt, and
exits vehicle leaving the door open. The participant moves to the rear of the vehicle and opens the trunk. Immediately after opening
the trunk, the participant touches each flag with the opposite hand, from behind their back, and the belt is removed by the participant
(letting the belt fall to the ground). The participant then removes the handgun and baton from the trunk before closing the trunk lid.
The participant then moves to the chair and places the handgun on the chair while still retaining the baton. The participant then

first of nine pylons (spaced five feet apart) in a single row. The participant then must serpentine through the pylons. 10 feet beyond the
last pylon, the participant must crawl under a 27-in high, eight-foot long low crawl area after which the participant stands, moves to
the pylons located seven feet beyond the low crawl and drops the baton beside one of the pylons. (NOTE: If at any time during the
obstacle course the applicant knocks over a hurdle or pylon, they must immediately replace the hurdle or pylon and repeat that portion
of the obstacle course.)
TASK 4: The participant then sprints 50 feet, grabs the 150-pound dummy and drags it 100 feet on a cut-grass surface.
TASK 5: Upon completion of the dummy drag, the participant sprints back to the pylons, picks-up the baton and reverses
course through the obstacles. Following the wall climb, the participant moves through the pylons to prepare for the 220-yard run.
TASK 6: While carrying the baton, the applicants runs 220 yards on a flat surface to the vehicle.
TASK 7: Upon completing the 220-yard run, the applicant places the baton on the chair and picks-up the handgun. The
applicant then assumes a proper firing position and dry fires (six trigger pulls) using the dominant hand, followed by the non-dominant
hand. The applicant then picks-up the baton in one hand while holding the handgun in the other hand.
TASK 8: Upon completing the two-rounds of dry-firing, the applicant places the handgun and baton in the floor of the
already-opened vehicle trunk, then closes the trunk. The applicant then re-enters the vehicle, closes the door, fastens the seatbelt, and
places both hands on the steering wheel at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions, at which time the test ends and the stopwatch deactivated.
