英国一项为期18个月的警察薪资及工作状况综合调研日前提出建议,要求取消警队内部强制裁员的禁令;同时建议所有警员每年进行体能测验,连续三次未通过者将面临减薪。

All police officers should be made to take an annual fitness test, with a pay cut for those who repeatedly fail, a review said.

In the Metropolitan1 Police, more than half (52 percent) of its male officers are overweight, a fifth (22 pe cent) are obese2, and one in 100 are "morbidly3 obese" the report showed.

For women officers in the Met, a third (32 percent) are overweight, 16 per cent are obese and 2 percent are morbidly obese.

Tom Winsor, who has carried out the widest-ranging review of police pay and conditions in more than 30 years, said those who fail the test three times should be subject to disciplinary(训诫的) procedures and a pay cut.

Chief constables5 should be able to make any officer redundant6 as part of budget cuts, ending the prospect7 of a job for life, the report said.

It also recommended that applicants8 should be able to enter the police service directly at inspector9 rank, and, ''after rigorous testing'', at superintendent10 rank.

Mr Winsor said: ''It is clear that the existing pay system is unfair and inefficient11.

''It was designed in 1920 and has remained largely unchanged since 1978.''

But he added: ''Officers who work on the front line, exercising their powers as constables in the most difficult circumstances, have nothing to fear from this review.''

Mr Winsor said: "I think the public will be surprised that after passing a fitness test at the point of entry, except in special units like firearms, physical fitness is not tested again in a 30, 35-year career."

An initial annual test requiring officers to reach level 5:4 on the bleep test should be brought in by September next year, he said.

This is equivalent to an average speed of 8.8kph (5.5mph) for three minutes 35 seconds, he said.

But this should get tougher by September 2018, along similar lines to the test currently used in Northern Ireland.

This includes climbing over walls and pulling bodies and was designed to reflect situations which "police officers do and can become involved in".

Former West Midlands chief constable4 Sir Edward Crew, who worked on the review, said: "We are not looking for supermen."

Mr Winsor predicted that many officers would welcome the proposals, saying they would see it "as a necessary protection for themselves and the public".
