Police Physicals and Health Checks at Your Department
The Checkup Officers Never Make Time For
Officers show up for everyone else’s worst day and put off their own health for years. A police physical is a comprehensive, physician-led health check built around the demands of the job, covering a full physical exam, comprehensive blood work, and the cardiovascular and metabolic markers that quietly drive disease. It finds the problems that never produce a symptom until they become an emergency.
The healthiest-looking officer on the roster can still be the one at risk.

What a Police Health Check Actually Covers
Each officer receives a full physician-led physical exam, comprehensive blood work covering cholesterol, blood glucose, and metabolic markers, blood pressure and vital signs, and a 12-lead EKG. A skin review is included, and cardiac risk is assessed on the same visit. It is a complete look at an officer’s health, not a form to sign.
Done on Watch, Not on a Day Off
We bring a mobile wellness clinic to your department and run physicals across every watch. No officer books an appointment, drives to a clinic, or gives up a rest day. Departments that screen on site get most of the roster through. Departments that send officers out get whoever had the time.
Who Needs One, and How Often
Every sworn officer benefits from a regular health check, and the value grows with age, years of service, and any personal or family history. An annual physical is the common standard for law enforcement, with the cadence tailored to the department.
Confidential, and Followed Through
A physician reviews every result with the officer directly, and results stay confidential between the officer and the clinician. That confidentiality is the reason officers actually take part. When a finding needs attention, we coordinate the referral and follow-up, so a flagged result becomes a next step rather than a worry someone sits on.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a police physical?
A police physical is a comprehensive, physician-led health evaluation built around the demands of law enforcement. It typically includes a full physical exam, comprehensive blood work, blood pressure and vital signs, and a 12-lead EKG, to identify health problems before they surface on the job.
What is included in a police health check?
A police health check generally covers a physician-led physical exam, comprehensive blood work measuring cholesterol, blood glucose, and metabolic markers, blood pressure and vital signs, an EKG, and a skin review. Cardiac risk is assessed on the same visit, giving a complete picture of an officer’s health.
How is a police physical different from cardiac screening?
A police physical is a broad, whole-health evaluation, while cardiac screening focuses specifically on the heart. The two work together. Officers concerned about cardiovascular risk can add our dedicated police cardiac and stroke screening for a deeper look at heart health.
How often should officers get a physical?
An annual physical is the common standard for law enforcement, with more frequent evaluation warranted by age, years of service, chronic conditions, or specific risk factors. NDS works with each department to set a cadence that fits its roster rather than applying a generic schedule.
Are the results confidential?
Yes. A physician reviews results directly with each officer, and individual results stay confidential between the officer and the clinician. That confidentiality is central to why officers participate, and it lets us coordinate follow-up care privately when a finding needs attention.
Can NDS Wellness perform physicals at our department?
Yes. We bring a mobile wellness clinic to your department and evaluate officers across every watch, so nobody travels or gives up a rest day. A physician conducts each physical, explains the findings in person, and coordinates any follow-up care that is needed.
