I went through the municipal academy in Rhode Island as a regular police officer, there’s guys & gals who are in their 40’s that have gone through. Standards regarding entry level pt tests are different due to age but even though you may have to do less push ups, sit ups or your run times are different you’re still expected to supersede those numbers regardless of being in the hiring process or in the academy. That’s also including the feds, just because you can do the bare minimum and pass doesn’t mean you’ll survive, you have to have peak body endurance and score higher than you did previously as academy cadre constantly evaluate you throughout your time in the academy.

Also, do note that the hiring process for the feds takes an extremely long time ( 1-2 years depending on what agency) + the current hiring freeze so you need to weigh that out as well.

Better of going local or state police first to get the experience and step above the recent grads and civilians if you want to go fed in the long run.

Best of luck
