No, I do not, I have been a Houston Police officer since I was 19. However, I have a son who was in the Army and my father was a former Marine.

Officer McCoy, do you have to have a military back ground?

That sounds like great advise. Thank you.

2010-01-04T18:10:58.217-06:00

I really don't think HPD needs to raise their age limit and they certainly shouldn't lower their education standards. Police departments need high standards, otherwise everyone could do it. Things worth having shouldn't be made as easy as possible. But the more educated a police officer is the better.

I can't wait for the challenge, but right now I have awhile to go. Im in 10th grade, but I believe with the determination and self discipline to get there I will achieve my dream of being a police officer. Thank you, to all police officers for being wonderful role models.

Officer Mc Coy, I hope HPD will raise its age limit and or lower its education requirement to fill patrol posisitions. Do you think if an applicant were pay his way through the academy or reimburse HPD if he did not pass the age and education limits could be eased? Pyhsical ability and desire to serve are an equal value to HPD.

6' 280. On occasion, if you are a body builder and you look like you are in great shape and not just overweight, we can send you for a body fat composition test and see where you fall. If you are within 24 percent for males and 34 percent for females, we may allow you to proceed.

Officer Mccoy I want to thank you for puting that video on the website, it motivates me. The only concern I have is that 5ft jump. I have made an obstacle course of my own in my back yard to help me train for this test. I just want to say thank you, this video has been a big help.

2009-02-17T00:24:00.000-06:00

Regarding the push ups..... is there modified female pushups allowed? i.e. knees on ground to accomodate the vastly different muscle groups used compared to males?

Seems this part of the test would eliminate a lot of females, especially older females and discourage them from applying.
