In 1965, Chapter 326 gave the MPTC the authority to promulgate regulations establishing, height, weight and physical fitness requirements for police officer candidates. These standards, which were amended in 1996 to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act, are set forth in 9 New York State Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR) Part 6000.
