Weaknesses It is difficult to have all police officers in one place at a time because of their shift schedules Most UAPD officers are men, and men are less likely to stay up to date with checkups Most people do not feel that the benefits of the screening will outweigh the inconvenience of having to fast for 10 hours

Opportunities By attending WellBama screenings, officers can show that they support other UA programs and help nursing students with their education and and helping us with our campaign Officers can show they care about their health and providing a health conscious and physically fit police force Screenings can be used in conjunction with fitness test to help officers
