AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
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.

Obligations
What this law requires
Candidates must either sign the personal waiver provided by the organizing service at the time of the physical tests or provide a medical fitness certificate issued by a doctor of their choice before taking the tests.
The organizing service must conduct the physical tests in the prescribed order: first the isometric muscle endurance tests, then the cardio-mobility test.
Any candidate who fails any one of the required physical tests must be eliminated from the recruitment process.
Before the first physical tests begin, an intervention techniques and safety trainer responsible for the tests must lead warm-up exercises for the candidates.
Each physical test must be demonstrated and explained by the evaluator before candidates perform it.
