In the United States, there are no law enforcement agencies of which I am aware that have a minimum height requirement. Many did have height requirements until the 1970s, after which this was viewed as gender and racial discrimination because women and certain racial groups are typically not as tall as white males. You do have to pass a physical fitness/agility test which often includes scaling a wall or fence of at least six feet. This is obviously more difficult for shorter people than for tall ones. Using good technique, most any fit, able-bodied person can scale such a wall.

∙ 11y agoIt's not a general standard to be any specific height to be a Police Officer. In daily life you encounter short officers and tall officers. Though, I would say that being at least 5' 7" would be beneficial as sometimes you'd be required to hop fences to pursue a suspect.

It should be about 5'2 to about 5'3 because that's what the defense force has as a requirement.

I don't know what or if there is a term regarding this but I do know that the minor doesn't have to answer any of the questions the police officer asks. You have the right to remain silent even if the police officer has authority. It's not a law that you must answer all questions the police officer asks you.
