Damn....let's not forget all the walk-in exams too.

When did NYPD start doing walk-in exams?

[NYPD13]

Here's an intersting article I just found about the walk-in test.



Bigger NYPD salaries lead to a surge in new police recruits
BY ALISON GENDAR
Sunday, October 12th, 2008 ‘The New York Daily News’

Show them the money and they will come.

A hike in the starting pay for NYPD recruits, coupled with the nation's economic meltdown, means a bumper crop of wanna-be cops, police brass and the recruits themselves said.

"It's a living wage now," said a 28-year-old Army vet who is taking the NYPD test next Saturday. "Now it's doable, and it's the only place around, in the economic mess, that is hiring."

The NYPD has averaged 327 new applicants a day since Aug. 22 - the day after the new salaries were announced, police officials said.

That's an 80% increase from the 180 applicants a day the NYPD registered between May 16 and Aug. 21.
The new contract boosted starting pay to $41,975 in the police academy and $43,644 after six months.That's a far cry from the $25,100 starting pay of 2005, when an arbitration panel slashed the rookie salary to pay for a raise for cops already on the payroll.

Starting pay jumped back to $35,881 in January, but the NYPD's recruiting was still off.

Money talks.

Some 27,923 applicants have signed up to take the NYPD's Saturday entry exam. Each of the previous nine exams have averaged about 21,790 applicants.

The number of walk-ins taking the NYPD exam at a city computerized testing center has also risen. Some 1,103 took the test between Aug. 22 and Sept. 30, compared with 584 between July 1 and Aug. 21.

"It just seems a more attractive career," said a 25-year-old computer analyst hoping to join the NYPD. She was relieved the new contract boosted the top pay for experienced cops to $76,488 by August 2009. Add holiday pay, uniform allowance, average night differential and longevity pay, and a cop with 51/2 years' experience will earn $90,829 - before overtime.

Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch locked in the lucrative contract just before Wall Street and the economy hit the skids.

"The money is better over the long haul," the computer analyst said. "With greedy Wall Street getting what it deserves, it's like getting paid a fair wage to do something good."

I found that the start date for the walk-ins was September 16th, 2007.

All of this, is just not good at all. I really have to start looking at other departments and not put all my eggs in one basket. I just took the walk-in exam this week and did really well on it, but I really want to get into the academy at July 2010 at the very very latest.

The following just is all bad news for us newer people it seems.

1. A surge of people taking the walk-in exam
2. Only allowing 250 for January 09, and July 09.
3. More people re-opening their cases because of the pay raise.
4. More senior guys staying on the force longer collecting the higher pay.

It's amazing how the NYPD has gone from craving new applicants 6 months ago, to having what seems to be too many now to choose from.

It's not NYPDs fault, its the economy. CEOs and CFOs are to blame for the downfall of the economy. NYPD will hire you as long as the candidate is somewhat clean. The PA will have alot more recruits if they put more people in and that would move the applicants exam number off the list faster.

Say the economy was fine. They put in 1100 recruits in for both Jan and July 09. I think we would have a good chance of making it in. As for you, you took the test where you can actually take 1-2 1/2 years wait to be called in after you finish the process. I could be in the same boat as you, but when I took the test, it was before the pay raise.

Boston walk in exam Nov 2007, #7046

I thought I might have had a chance until i actually pulled out the sheet and saw the number

[NYPDSRT4]

I took exam 7044 back in october 07. Why is it not on this list?

[DOCSatTheGunk]

I was wondering..If you have a high school diploma and two or more years as a Police or Peace Officer in another jurisdiction can you use that in light of having 60 college semester hours? I'll be honest..I've been losing weight and getting into shape..I'm thinking of making a career change...

[bkny27]

the only sub for credits is military time.

The NYPD doesn't accept prior law enforcement experience as a substitute for college credits. They only accept 2 years military time with a honorable discharge as a substitute. The MTA Police does accept 2 years satisfactory, full-time active service as a sworn police officer as a substitute for the college credits.

[Nero22]

You can add 8322 for January Walk-In. Took it today and scored a 97.

[bkny27]

so 4009 is the first active list for the next class correct? the rest have expired?

[andres]

no its from #5001...the rest expire before 07/09

[BigWill2876]

IIRC, some exams that show as expired can still be open with some candidates with military exemptions re-opening...

See the USCG guy's number.

Good rule of thumb, is that there are no rules...

[nypdhopeful09]

7043 is a walk-in exam from October 07

[Schem86]

7044 - Hofstra walk in Oct 2007

[TryingForpolice]

7017 is another walk in at Hofstra that was given in may 2007

[NYPD13]

Bumping this up to let everyone see where they stand.
