New York Times: Battling Crime and Calories at F.B.I. (Fit Bureau of Investigation)
WASHINGTON — F.B.I. agents are on the front lines of the fight to protect the United States from Islamic terrorists, Russian hackers and Chinese spies.
Now they have something far more personal to worry about: their waists.
For the first time in 16 years, the F.B.I. is requiring that its agents pass a fitness test.
“The lives of your colleagues and those you protect may well depend upon your ability to run, fight and shoot, no matter what job you hold,” James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, said in October in an internal memo to agents that was obtained by The New York Times.
