Do officers have to run after someone every once in a while? Depends on their jurisdiction
You could lose plenty of good otherwise competent officers for  simply *not running* to some standard
Unlike the military which is trying to slim down, many LE agencies can't find enough qualified people.

They gave him a year to lose weight. He didn't so they gave him a non line of duty taxable medical retirement.

I haven't had to run after anyone in at least a decade. Seriously. Where are they going to go out in the country?
We have about one or two foot chases in the whole agency per year.
I am sure its different in a more urban area. Every little twit wants to think they're a track star and runs from police they're interacting with.

There was this moron who ran at the local hippy music fest over the weekend, but of all the dumb places to try to flee from, he made his dash at a festival with dozens of officers patrolling the area:

OP, there is a small community here in Southern Ohio called Hanging Rock east of my town that is notorious for writing speeding tickets on the small section of U.S. State Route 52 that, unfortunately, goes through their incorporated area.  

I have not seen the dickhead lately, and I never got ticketed there because I always slow down to 10 mph UNDER the 55 mph speed limit, but they have/or had an officer whose belly was so large and distended that it actually covered his entire gun belt in front.  I used to see him writing up people who passed through the Hanging Rock area who didn't know to be careful.  He is hard to miss with that belly.  

As a retired military officer who had to maintain high standards of physical fitness, it makes me disgusted to see that particular leo in a uniform.   Now some of our state patrol officers in Ohio may be dickheads but they all maintain decent physical fitness standards.   But that officer in Hanging Rock is the most obese fucker I ever saw in any type of uniform.  

So I can understand you posting this topic.
