🇬🇧 English

This order updates the recruitment and training rules for assistant police officers in France. It removes an old requirement linked to collecting application material from a police station in the candidate’s chosen department, making the process less tied to a local office. It also replaces the annex on physical tests. Candidates must sign a personal waiver or provide a medical fitness certificate, then complete muscle endurance and cardio-mobility tests in a set order. Failing any test removes the candidate from the process.
