There is no such weight management program being held to police officer before. This study aims to identify the effect of weight management module to police officers. METHODS: 27 police officers with body mass index of 25kg/m2 and above were chosen on a voluntary basis. InBody measurement, talks, individual counseling, and outdoor physical activity was done monthly, while gymnasium or cardio exercises were carried out daily for one hour for six months. RESULTS: About 26.7% (n=4) of the male participants and 25.0% (n=3) of the female participants managed to reduce their body weight between 1.0 kg to 6.0 kg, while 53.3% (n=8) of male participants and 66.6% (n=8) of female participants managed to lose weight between 6.1 kg to 12.0 kg. Meanwhile, 20.0% (n=3) of male participants and 8.3% (n=1) of female participants lose weight above 12.1 kg. There are 12 participants (44.4%) change their nutritional status from obese to overweight and two participants (7.4%) changed from overweight to normal. There is a positive significant difference before and after program for blood pressure, glucose level, waist circumference, and fat percentage. DISCUSSION: Weight Management Program Trim andFit manage to reduce weight, body fat, and improve the nutritional status of the police officer. Thus, Weight Management Program Trim andFit can be applied for police officers respectively, with the aim to expand nationwide.
