The Sacramento Police Department will be holding the Fifth Annual Law Enforcement Expo / Female Health and Fitness Challenge at William Land Park on Saturday, Jun 7, 2008 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. We are conducting this challenge in order to attract more female applicants to the Sacramento Police Department and to showcase the specialized units within the department. Nationally women only represent approximately 10% of all law enforcement. The Sacramento Police Department would like to increase the number of women. Although the department receives some well-qualified female applicants, they often fail the physical agility test. This is what the Challenge was created to combat.

The Challenge begins with a commencement day at William Land Park on June 7 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The Fitness Challenge will be accompanied by a Law Enforcement Expo. The Expo will consist of law enforcement demonstrations from units such as K9, Motors, SWAT, CSI, the Bike unit, the Mounted unit and our Bomb unit. This event will also include a vendor section with 20 to 30 health related vendors. The Expo will be open to the general public and is a free event.

California Family Fitness (www.californiafamilyfitness.com) will be providing weight and body fat testing at the commencement and a free three-month restricted pass to their clubs. There will be prizes for the top participants at the challenge.

The purpose of the commencement day is not only to attract female candidates to the Sacramento Police Department, but also to allow anyone who is interested in law enforcement the opportunity to come out and see what the Sacramento Police Department has to offer as a career opportunity.
