Fit for Duty: Health Habits for Life After the Academy

The Police Academy is a rigorous period where recruits are put to the test everyday. As a part of that, they get extensive training in both physical and nutritional health. They keep food journals, meal prep, workout multiple times a day and much more.

But what happens after the academy is over and new officers start on their platoons? Long 12 hour shifts of call after call. How do you stay in shape and keep eating healthy? Those are the questions we ask the Roanoke City Police Academy Wellness Coordinator and Investigator, Anna Volk.

In this episode, Volk shares practical insights in how to develop daily habits of staying healthy on the job and how to take care of oneself while on the job. Join in now and be ready to jot down a few notes as we learn together how to be Fit for Duty!
