<<As you know it is difficult to get into the police with a
visual problem, but once you are in it is no problem as
long as suitable correction is worn, so can I assume that
visual exams are carried out on recruits for AFO duty?>>
Visual exams are carried out annually, along with a full physical exam.
(Hearing, heart, chest, etc). Instructors also get blood level tests.
We don't get psychometrically tested, because it is recognised that there is
no method of testing available that is trustworthy.
When it was tried, the person administering it was in a state of shock at
the results.
Funny thing was, the people tested were volunteers from a shooting club and
not AFO's.
Only kidding. Who said I didnt have a sense of humour!

They do psychometric testing in some countries for
gun licenses. Japan is one, and it's a pretty thorough exam
too. In the Netherlands licenses have to be renewed every
year and the police are authorised to enquire of family
members about the mental state of licensees.
