Police run a mile to catch criminals
Warning to criminals: You'll have to be able to run a mile pretty quick if you want to get away from the police in North Wales.
The Chief Constable's latest weblog [] talks about officers' annual fitness test, including a one mile run.
Apparently, the North Wales force is the only one in the UK to run such a thing - if you pardon the pun. Richard Brunstrom set it up to ensure officers bucked the UK's rising trend in obesity levels.
By the way, the 50-something Chief is aiming for a sub 7 minute mile in his next fitness test. You wouldn't want him running after you...
