Florida requires every law enforcement, corrections and correctional probation officer to pass a police physical before certification, documented on the FDLE Physician’s Assessment (Form CJSTC-75). UrgentMed completes it — and the academy, agency and security-licensing forms that go with it — as a walk-in visit at Davie or Plantation, with the EKG, lab work, X-ray and drug testing those forms often require on site.
The police physical: FDLE CJSTC-75 physician’s assessment
The Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission requires the assessment to be completed by a licensed physician, physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse. You bring the CJSTC-75 (and the CJSTC-75A patient information sheet you complete beforehand); the provider takes your history, examines you, records vision and hearing, and signs the assessment for the academy or the hiring agency.
- Police academy entrance — Broward College’s Institute of Public Safety asks for its own Physician’s Medical Clearance Form; its physical-ability and swim tests are run by the academy, and the clearance is what allows you to take them. Other Florida training centers ask for the CJSTC-75.
- Agency pre-hire and reactivation physicals for police, sheriff’s office, corrections and probation officers.
- Drug testing required by the agency’s background investigation, collected with chain of custody at the same visit.
- Agency-specific additions when requested — EKG, blood work, chest X-ray, spirometry, TB test and immunizations.
Police physical for corrections, probation and detention officers
The same CJSTC-75 assessment applies to corrections and correctional probation officers, and county detention agencies typically add a TB test and immunization review. Bring the agency’s packet and it is completed in the same visit; when it includes a TB skin test, the result is added once the test is read at a follow-up visit.
Security officer licensing (Class D and Class G)
Florida’s armed security officer (Class G) application, FDACS-16008, includes a medical section for a licensed physician to complete, and many security employers and training schools require a fitness-for-duty medical statement for unarmed (Class D) officers as well. Bring the application or the employer’s form; the medical section is completed by a physician at the visit.
What to bring
- The CJSTC-75 and completed CJSTC-75A, or the agency, academy or FDACS form you were given.
- Photo ID, glasses or contacts, hearing aids if you use them, and a list of medications.
- Any specialist letters for a condition the form asks about.
Walk in at either Broward clinic
Both clinics are open seven days a week — Davie at 5149 S University Drive (Renaissance Plaza, just south of Griffin Road) and Plantation at 10199 Cleary Boulevard, Suite 10. Both serve Davie, Plantation, Cooper City, Weston, Sunrise, Southwest Ranches, Pembroke Pines and the surrounding Broward County communities. Hours, maps and parking.
Insurance and self-pay
Most licensing and program physicals are self-pay and the price is quoted at the front desk before you are seen; employer-ordered exams are billed to the employer account. Bring a photo ID and the form.
