January 2010 NYPD Academy

[PBXTech]

Do they watch you with the urine test? If so I'd rather take the hair test, I'd never be able to pee at the urine one!

Hair goes back a lot further in time too.

You do not get to make that choice. I have taken 2 mini medicals. The first one they tested every other person for both urine and hair. I didnt get tested for urine so I cant say if they watch. The 2nd mini medical I went to they didnt test anyones urine.

When I went threw the Suffolk County Corrections medical the doctor(female in my case)gave me a full physical including checked my testicals then followed me to the bathroom and watched the urine come out. Its really not a big deal.

[BleedinBlue]

Mini Medicals didn't start yet, probably wont until the end of November, that's the second medical before the academy actually starts in Jan

Hey my man those are thing you need to keep to yourself. You never know who's on here They can look up your account find out who you are next thing you know your SOL. It show's bad moral character just giving you advice man don't take it wrong

I can't believe you would take that serious, especially from me.:rolleyes:

[NYPD4ME]

If for any reason you can not provide enough hair from your head for the drug test or your afraid of them finding something in your hair like drugs or maybe even lice, then get yourself a really good looking wig for them to cut. It might just work.:eek:

***** Please people dnt ever pull a stunt like this!! NYPD4ME Is sillylol*****:D

[NYRangers718]

At least they don't wax...

[snyperjc]

At least they don't wax...

no they just put the razor in alcohol and shave your legs and that burns like hell

[ThinkRevolution]

Question for those of you coming in from long island:

How do you plan to commute? I live on the south shore (bayshore)

I'd have to take the babylon train station in, then the subway down.. talking almost a 2 hour commute. Anyone have a better way? What's the drive like?

[LINY]

I'd carpool if I knew someone in the same location we worked at who lived close or could pass by on the way to work.

[NYPD4ME]

no they just put the razor in alcohol and shave your legs and that burns like hell

Actually, now they need the hair with the root, so they use a tweezer and remove them one by one until they have about 100 hairs. Yes, it's a long painful process, but they do give you the option of grabbing a handful all at once and yanking it out really fast in hopes of not taking some skin with it. At least you have that option.;)

[NYPD4ME]

Just a reminder... I hope there is nobody on this thread taking me seriously. I say these things only to keep some laughter and remove tension on the thread. Do keep in mind that the career choice in law enforcement you are all looking to make is a serious one and should be taken seriously at all times, during processing and once on the job. Good luck to all of you.;)

Like said hair every 1 does, urine tends to be every other, although once they did not do it at all. At the urinals they have like mirrors above you pointing down, and they do walk behind you....sucks i do have a shy bladder lol

Just drink a gallon of water before going in for the test and you won't care if your on the big screen in Times Square. You'll practically be peein' on your shoes. Just to be safe though, you might wanna strap a Depends on. I did.

Yeah, I could do it a little bit then, it's not like they need all of my urine.

You guys are nuts with these posts. It will be over before you know it. FD stared harder than the PD. Man up and **** and trust me nothing is even thought about. Just be glad you don;t have that job staring at dongs ****ing. They don't even pay attention as long as your not fussing around unless now there shaking for you which I doubt. Everyone is doing the same thing so what's the big deal?

Hey guys, i just tried to reopen my case and the people at APD in brooklyn(I went down there) said I was on ivestigative review. I have no idea what its for but they told me to contact my Investigator today, which I tried to do but couldnt get a hold of her, the last time I tried getting in touch with her(a few months ago) it took 6 days of calls and she happened to pick up, I did not get a phone call returned. I know these men and women probably have hundreds of candidates each but is this common for them not to return calls?

Call every day at different times, and do that for a couple of days. If you cant get through, get in touch with her sergeant and find out if she's been transferred, promoted, etc. My investigator works in the crazy morning hours and leaves before noon, so if I need to get in contact with her, I wake up early and give her a ring.

[future nypd]

Question I have finished everything except for the "meeting with the BI" it's been more then a month since I did the jst I called my BI and was told that i haven't been gotten to on the list yet and that when I do he/she will send me out a date and that it's only october that I should wait am a 5xxx exam number how is it possible that people with higher exam numbers have already gotten dates and meet their BI i don't know what to do help me out ..Thanks

[Chuckb88]

Just wondering if theres any current nypd officers who can give me a rough estimate of what you could expect to bring in monthly? First couple years on the job... Im trying to figure out how expensive of an apartment i could afford between what i'd be getting and my wifes 56k a year salary too. Thanks.

[thecongo]

Hair will be done regardless I have had 4 done to me with all the minimeds i have taking lol. Urine is for steriods, i dont know if they watch you pee. Never took one

I was under the impression NYPD only does random steroid tests. Pre-employment steroid testing would be to costly.

[MrFVC]

Hey Everyone, I have a question. I might have alittle issue on my hands. I went to Lafrak for the first time and when I got there I was given my investigators info on a sheet. On that sheet was my exam number written along with a list number. The list number was lower then my original list number so i thought nothing of it and put the list number that was on that sheet on all of my paper work instead of my original. I call up to schedule my jst and the woman I spoke to said that my list number was my original not that one that was written down. I left a message with my investigator right away. Is this going to be a problem?

Jsanchez222, thanks bro. I dont think so either!!!

NYRangers718...that was awesome

[Roninjin]

Quick Question...my medical is this week and i wondering on average how long would it take for me to finish the whole process...Psych, Oral Psych, J.S.T, meeting with BI, and Mini Med and so on.....this of course in conjunction with no holdover or review....do u say a month or 2?...

[richbrown123456]

Depends on how quick they are scheduling you. I did mine in less then 2 weeks, but it was before the pay raise and the class cuts. Also a month before the academy. I was held up with paper work last min.

[MrFVC]

It all depends on how they are scheduling. I did my medical this week and by the end of the week i will be done with the written psych and jst. Things are getting exciting now!!!

[Hindsight 20/20]

Things are getting exciting now!!!

You're going to regret saying that. Hurry up and wait will be stuck in your head for the next year or two.

[bam987]

How much people are they looking to put in this class and is it cancealed or not?

[PBXTech]

You're going to regret saying that. Hurry up and wait will be stuck in your head for the next year or two.

They will learn that after taking the mini medical atleast 2 times.

[PBXTech]

How much people are they looking to put in this class and is it cancealed or not?


100 spots as of right now. As always it can and will change.

[richbrown123456]

yep 100 as of now, I have very strong doubts that only a 100 are going in. Then again i never thought only 250 was going in.

Time will tell, and I am starting to feel like i am running out of it :(

[Trinhrd]

I gotta tell ya, hurry up and wait is probably right, but:

I am exam #8312 too, and finished everything but the mini medical. Plan to contact my BI this week...and it is exciting. Wait or not.

No matter what, it feels good to get moving.

Stay positive everyone!

[NJNJ]

How much people are they looking to put in this class and is it cancealed or not?

WHEN IS THE NEXT CLASS GOING IN? DID ANYONE GET A CALL FOR THE MINI MED YET??

[richbrown123456]

No one knows, My guess mini meds wont be caleld till late november

[LIZMARIE]

remember my people somtimes its who you know not what you know think about that....

[PBXTech]

remember my people somtimes its who you know not what you know think about that....

Hooks can help get you 4qed.Hooks will help you after you get the call. Hooks are not going to help you skip endless exams that are infront of you. Everything goes in number order Exam# List# .

[richbrown123456]

Yep, PBX is right and its not what i think i know its what i know :).

Hooks wont do much to get in, maybe if you have a exam going in and you know someone very very high you may skip a few list numbers but thats about it.

[PDAux]

heads up guys, I called APD today for a quick question regarding my situation and she informed me that a big July class is likely as of now. I'm not saying its definite and neither did she but at least they are contemplating it

[snyperjc]

You can tell alot of people here are new to the NYPD game. Everything is done for me this will be my second mini medical. I missed the last class because I was deployed by 1 week. For all you guys in the 6000 series to the 8000 series your going to be waiting a long time if they don't beef up these classes. Even if there is a big class in july 2010 of like 1500 to 1800 new cops your still hit. There are not hundred thousand on these lists man and I don't think any hook anyone has is going to help you unless his last name is kelly LOL. Just be patient don't get too excited because you'll be ****ed off in the end your time will come just wait in line like everyone else

[snyperjc]

remember my people somtimes its who you know not what you know think about that....

with comments like that one you will be in here for a long time LOL think about that

Out of this supposed 100 recruits for January how many of them are gonna be cadets? Prob a good portion I would think

[PBXTech]

Both Jan and July 2009 each had 80+ cadets. Im sure Jan 2010 wont be any different. We really need a big class.

[Roninjin]

Do u think BI would give special consideration to military ....despite "the hiring from exam and list only process"...

[NYPD4ME]

I have sad, sad news for all of you. I just found out that they will only be putting in one candidate for the Jan class and it's me. I hope you all can understand.:eek:

[NYJets44288]

At my medical yesterday they said January 2010 is going to most likely be 100% cadets.

Naysayers or not, that's what the guy said to our whole session at the Medical. He said to all of us that if its still 100-120 people come January, that none of us should do anything crazy at our current jobs lol.

Hey man quick question, I know the jist of what the medical consist of, but can you just run down on what they do when you first walk in, does everyone just take a seat and start filling stuff out and wait for the MD? After the medical do you just leave? Also, do you get put on review/dq on the spot if you have a issue in your background? Thanks dude.

[NYJets44288]

you line up, they take your picture, etc. You do paperwork for 90% of the time. then u get bp reading, vision, hearing, bend over touch your toes type stuff. you get assigned an investigator and whatnot.

[Luig]

I have sad, sad news for all of you. I just found out that they will only be putting in one candidate for the Jan class and it's me. I hope you all can understand.:eek:


man thats BS they had promised me that spot

[NYRangers718]

This whole small Academy deal is turning into some Grade A c0ck $ |-| iT.

[TXChopper]

They will learn that after taking the mini medical atleast 2 times.

Sounds like the semi-nice way of someone trying to discourage someone else's optimism because they're the one that's ****ed off about not being in yet. I'm 8314, a former Infantryman, and OIF Veteran twice over- and I'm just as optimistic. I think it's good news that the kid from 8322 is stille ager and isn't letting the man get him down.

[joefuturenypd]

Wow a academy with all Cadets would really suck for most of us on this forum. I am hoping bc The PBA publicly backed Bloomberg's campaign the other day once he wins he will help out the NYPD and give them some extra $$ to hire some more recruits but who really knows what going to happen ..

Do u think BI would give special consideration to military ....despite "the hiring from exam and list only process"...

The only thing you can do is get put on the Special Military List from the exam number you took. The special military lists gets called before the city wide list but to do that you have to take your dd214 to dcas the good thing about this list also is that you don't have to use your veterans points. You can save them for the Sgt's exam i know this because i had to do the process. Not to many military candidates know about this and they get stuck on the regular list.good luck!!!!!!!!!!hooah!!!!!

[snyperjc]

no go take your medical nothing changes you will still have the same list and exam number when you are done with your medical.then you have to go to DCAS that is in manhattan.it has nothing to do with APD.DCAS are the people that make the list for the nypd just go after you do your medical to manhattan with your dd214 they will square you away.you have to go to certification i think its on the 18 floor trust me its well worth it

[snyperjc]

if i were you i would go tomorrow and do it

I swear to God Brother U are a life savior ...I honesty to God did not know that....

not to downsize anybody else who have been waiting long or are not in the prior military...do u think i may get hire from this military list just in time for Jan...i m hurting bad on income...

[snyperjc]

it depends on your exam number bro you will still have the same exam number but you will be on a different list.what that means is when they are ready to call your exam number for an academy class you will be on top of the list

[QNZSP]

5047 expires next december

wow i feel stupid.. i must be mixing it up with another test i took then but what? :confused: lol

i don't know for sure, but i don't see why not.

you might have to (or supposed) to tell your investigator since its one of the questions they ask you on the background packet.

My investigator is aware, However when I first reopened my case the jerk I spoke to told me " I hope you know if you choose this career you are going to have to sacrifice visiting tht inmate" I mean I dont go often but he is getting shipped out to kentucky and I want to see him before he leaves.

i wouldn't mess with visiting convict's if you want to be a cop they can flip the script and not hire you for having ties with criminals in your booklet they ask you if you visit people in jail. that can hurt you

Well I already went through my psych and investigation proccess I was as honest as can be. Thats not a good enough reason to not hire a candidate. almost every person has a criminal or someone who has been convicted that does not break or make me as a person who is qualified for the job. I dont know I did all the booklets and they didnt tell me anything we'll see.

[Hindsight 20/20]

Don't associate with criminals, PERIOD. That's a big no-no for the job, even if it's family. If you do, you might as well just excuse yourself from the rest of the process.

Trust me, I was on hold for half a year because someone in my family was... below their standards, and I had to move out to my current apartment.

Hey all, hoping you could answer a question for me. Waiting to be called like most. Read the posts all the time. You guys are extremely helpful, but I couldn't find too much with a situation similar to mine. I had surgery to completely repair a torn rotator cuff, and am going through pt now. Doctor's say my shoulder should be 10 years younger when all is said and done. I hear all different things from a few guys I know otj. Anything from "You'll be fine" to "make sure your injury isn't documented" which I find ridiculous since its documented on my current insurance! I plan on being absolutely truthful, but I just want to know what some of you think, since you seem to have some pretty good insight.

Thanks in advance everyone

When you do the medical questionnaire at your medical and u answer about it, the doctor will probably just want to see that you can move it and flex it normally now that it's been repaired. I messed up my ankle one time in the f.d. and when i put it down on the form when we were all in front of the doctor he made me rotate it around and move it and stuff. i passed.

QUESTION

[BigWill2876]

Just do your rehab faithfully, report the surgery, and you should be fine.
As long as your Surgeon is well versed in that type surgery.

Commissioner Kelly praises 102nd Precinct
BY TONIA N. CIMINO
Thursday, October 22, 2009 5:38 PM EDT

*snip*

Down 40 percent since September 11, 2001, reported crime has been reduced by 11 percent this year alone, according to the Commissioner. This, he said, despite 5,800 fewer cops in eight years.

“Recorded crimes are as low as they’ve ever been in the city,” Kelly informed the audience.

However, he hopes that within 18 months there will be a “significant” hire of new officers.

hey folks its the stranger from 8312 again....just got done my medical today...wasn't that bad ..got there at 5:45a.m and finish bout 2pm....even though i passed...i did not get a Psych invite like the others did...when i ask about this ..they say to call my BI....is my BI the one to schedule every thing else for me ..from here on out...

[NYJets44288]

I was one of the only people at my medical to get a psychological invite.

[Roninjin]

actually i saw a couple people in front of me who got that invite sheet...

[Roninjin]

what im trying to ask is....where do i go from here...as far as the next step...do apd send letters asking me to move the next step or i have to call my bi for further schdeule

Does anyone know if you can go through processing for the NYPD if you are preparing for exiting from the military?

[options open]

two things could have happened.... either your on review for some reason (but i think you would know it) or all the psych slots were filled up

i'd call your investigator and the apd scheduling unit to schedule it

[Roninjin]

You're on review

no ...i don't think i am...because those who got review at medical would get called up for review instruction....but i think i solve it....the egg head at that place didn't give me the next appointment and instead ask me to call my bi...so i thought it was odd since everybody else who wasn't on review got letters for psyh apoint ...so afterward once i got home ...i immediately call schedule apd and explain my situation..and she agree that it was very dumb what that guy did...because bi are not responible for scheduling psyh appointment...so then she ask for my exam and list...then next thing u know she offically confirm my next psyh date....which was nice... because this date was sooner than all the other people at med date...:)...

[snyperjc]

Does anyone know if you can go through processing for the NYPD if you are preparing for exiting from the military?

did you get the letter that you passed?
i did it 6 months before i got out there's a program the nypd has for military called the QUEST program they do all your stuff in one week but you have to call them and they will square you away

no guys if they dont add more than 100 people its going to be only cadets i was arguing with rich last week about the same thing and then i heard it from someone who works with the hiring and the list shes the one that makes the phone calls to the candidates to report to the academy and she told me they have a list and its all cadets i would not come on here and give info like this if it was BS im bothered by it too trust me if the class is 100 people we are all screwed til july and then im sure something else will come up

QUEST is for out of state applicants so that they can schedule most of the testing on one stay in NYC.

Civilian and military both.

IIRC in previous posts it is currently temporarily suspended, but that could have changed.

About this QUEST program, are military still serving but within a few months of getting out able to process? I know any police department hiring process has a time line of at minimum a few months but when I called, the lady said I needed my DD-214 which for anyone who knows about the military knows you can't get one until you are completely separated.

heres the deal i took the test like 2 years before i got out of the army while i was still on active duty they send me i letter that i passed the test and to report to the medical i still had a year left to go on active duty i told them that and they told me 6 months before i get out i can request to come and do everything in one week on the quest program i didnt need my dd214 all i needed was a letter from my commander say the i will be discharged on the day of my e.t.s. i came to new york gave them the letter at apd and they scheduled all my appointment then after i got out i gave them my dd214 i know this because i did it.all you need to do is get a letter from your commander saying the day that you get out and they will take care of the rest

That cleared up a lot. I was wondering if this was possible seeing that many other federal, state and city agencies do the same thing. Thanks

[NYJets44288]

a lot of places have programs for people who travel long distances and stuff, i'm sure they probably have things for active duty.

So i re-opened on Wed and was told to call back in November to schedule for the medical.. but I am reading on here about people getting their medicals done now.. so should I call now or wait as I was told?

Did you call scheduling or did you BI tell you to wait...Call scheduling and see what they say...I'm still in the dark myself on how they decide who to call back for various testing (psych, med and especially mini meds).

[QNZSP]

Besides taking the test I haven't done anything.. so I went to APD.. met with some officer and filled out some paperwork.. I got a booklet and was told to call up the scheduling unit in November for my medical.. that's it. I think I'm going to call up Monday anyway and see what they say. When do you get assigned a BI? After the medical right? Thank you in advance

[nasa808]

Follow directions.

November is right around the corner anyhow.

[richbrown123456]

If you follow anyone at apd's directions without getting a second third or 4th opinion you may screw yourself.

Have some guy who lives around me he has exam 5046 he called and they told him that they will not be hiring his exam for jan. so do no bother opening his case. NO ONE knows what will happen so they should not have told him this. His exam is the oldest exam their is if the class is even raised to 250 he has a OK shot, but since he was told this his exam will expire mid Jan. and he will not have ANY shot now.

Have everything done ASAP, so call monday see if you can get someone to help you get your medical. Their are so many little things that can hold you up, you want as much time as possible to clear it up.

Nov. is right around the corner but so is Jan. DONT Waste anymore time. NO clue what exam you are, but if you have any older exam you want to get everything out of the way, never know what is going to happen.

[NYJets44288]

they're saying to call back in November because those are the only dates available for the medical. i opened my case just a few days before the medical so i was able to squeeze into october. they told me they do like 2 a month now.

[crocka]

i was on nypd site and this is what i found under the tab careers and then faq

When will the next class be hired?
The date for the next Police Academy class has yet to be determined. However, the Applicant Processing Division will continue to investigate all applications for eligible candidates in anticipation of future hires.

It was updated 2 days ago... who knows whats going on!

Hey I would reccomend you dress casual no suit and tie but no jeans and t-shirt. Also you can just go to reopen your case you dont need to make an appointment. Its the DEP building right next to the building that say Lefrak City. Once you go you need your license and unoffical trancript they will give you a small package and schedule your medical =)

Good luck!

All you need is your transcripts and your drivers license. No need to get dressed up.. I went around 3 and was out within 20 minutes. They're open from 7am-7pm. Goodluck!

Hey I called (212)669-1357 (press 2 then press 3) the Dcap number to check my status and I found out that I'm on an outstanding certification which basically means two things one I'm still 4qd which is good and that Dcap came out with the hiring list already so they are planning for a Jan class for sure just got to hope they put in at least 250 in Jan.

I just called the number and we're in the same boat...dude I hope to see you soon lol!

However I was processed I went to open my case with my 3xx list number and was told I now had a 4xx list number. When I call they give me a 3xx list number that I originally got in the mail. Anyone else have a similar situation?

[options open]

the list number changes... people claim residency credits after the test etc.

went through some old posts... from what i gathered from them outstanding cert means your list was requested by the nypd (from dcas) and is anticipated to be used in an upcoming academy.... that sound right?

also did you guys get a call when u were 4q'd or did you call your investigator and find out

It says I'm on the list for the exam then it further tells me my name has been removed from the list!!! It is very confusing :( anyhow, does anybody know exactly what this means and how to go bout fixing it? Another thing that confuses me is that when I call the nypd automated line it says my case is currently active. So...yea its kind of confusing so any help or info will be appreciated..thanks ppl!!!

Where can we get a solid answer as to what Outstanding Certification means? Like a solid solid answer. Does it mean you're on the list ready to be called up or does it mean your list was just requested by the NYPD? Does it mean you've been 4q'd? Does it mean you're done with everything?

Are you sure outstanding certification means 4q'd??? Because I just called and it said the same thing for me? Who here can confirm this???

I am going to ask one of my officer friends however I just checked online somewhere else and it simply says that that means you are ready to continue with your process. I am also going to see if I call my investigator and get her opinion

[BleedinBlue]

Are you sure outstanding certification means 4q'd??? Because I just called and it said the same thing for me? Who here can confirm this???

When I called back in June, It said that for NYPD my case was active But when I called the Dcas line it said that Im not on an outstanding certification, so I called Dcas again and talked to a Human, she told me that the reason why Im not on an outstanding Cert is because I was not yet ready for hire once the investigation was trough and my BI supervisor signed off on it then Dcas would get the info to put me on the Dcas hire List aka "on an outstanding certification" so all it means is that you have finished your investigation and you are 4qd and on a list to get hired eventually. And my investigator told me that once I handed a paper in May she would pass my file to her Supervisor so he can look through it and if everything is to his liking that I will be 4qd but she never called or told me that I was or was not.

This is what I got from a different site from 2004 when I googled it...

I just didn't go to the initial processing. If you don't go, you go on an "outstanding certification." All that means is that you can not move forward in the process until you complete the step you are on.

Yup thats what I was talking about. Well to be honest I dont think that outstanding certification means your 4qd b/c Im under investigation now and it says that Im in outstanding certification. I know im underinvestigation b/c they calling my job my hs my friends n all that crap so how can I be 4-q yet im still under investigation! Not to mention Im not 21 yet. And I just got my license last week.

Hey everyone, not to change subjects and all, but I am taking my JST thursday at 7:30am in Staten Island. I'll be coming from midtown...and was planning on getting to Cromwell around 7.

I know for the medical people said to get there with about an hour to spare. Does that go for the JST? Last time I took the JST (about a year ago it was at the academy) and there was a huge line, granted this was for a 2pm test time.

I am hoping a half hour will do the trick since I'll be walking from the ferry.

Hey everyone, not to change subjects and all, but I am taking my JST thursday at 7:30am in Staten Island. I'll be coming from midtown...and was planning on getting to Cromwell around 7.

It's always better to be earlier instead of risking being late. I left my house at 3:45am to get there at 7am. I got there around 6am and there were a few people already waiting.

Ok heres the deal since i already went through this last year OUTSTANDING CERT means that your go to go for hire the only time that changes is when something is going to expire or you got hit on your Backround investigation you will be on OUTSTANDING CERT until the new class is picked.it does not mean that they are going to skip exam to hire you.i hope i help you guys understand a little i was on outstanding Cert last academy i was still on active duty and got out a week after the july class but i had done the quest program so everything was done. all it was,was bad timing on my part.that system will also tell you if you DQ or on review so keep that in mind if your on OUTSTANDING STATUS YOUR GOOD!!!

They usually let you in approx a half hour after your report time, but I would still get there atleast 20 mins before your report time just in case. When I took mine they turned away a few people for coming in late. And definitely do not give them lip if you are late for any reason and they turn you away. A guy I knew showed up approx 15 mins late and they told him to go home and reschedule, so he gave them lip and has not been able to reschedule 'til this day. Rumor has it that he went missing recently and was found unconcious in a dumpster with a wedgy up to his neck and the word "LATE" written on his forhead. He was treated at the hospital where it took doctors 2 hours to remove his underwear from his crack and is doing ok now, but he decided he no longer wants to be a cop. So, try not to be late. You'll thank me later. ;)

I know you wear business attire to all your appointment's but do you wear a suit and all to the JST and change there or are you allowed to wear the clothes you'll be testing in? Just curious.. thanks in advance

Day of JST you only wear sweat type pants, short sleeve t-shirt and running shoes. There will be a place to put your jacket during the JST.

[madcat816]

- get there a little early, not too early tho
- take a leak prior to waitin in the line outside
- don't listen to other candidates w/ rumors, if your in shape you'll coast

Hey everyone,
I have a question, not sure if any LE can answer. I am going through the process for NYPD. My spouse has a criminal record from years ago before we met. No DV or weapon charges. I am 100% honest not hiding anything from my BI. My record is clean only a few tickets from years ago. How much will this affect me? Can I be disqualified? My BI and I spoke briefly but I was not given any info regarding this. Any LE have any advice?

i'm going to guess that it depends on what the charge was how long ago and your BI. if its a weapons charge from last year it might give you some trouble. if its a turnstile jump 15 years ago i wouldn't worry about it.

Just be honest it shouldnt affect you they will just question you on it and ask you details. Dont worry about that you will be fine.

To give you a better idea, I took a pic of the JST fence.

i gotta disagree on that one ... we're all here for the same thing its fun to joke around

[snyperjc]

i understand but people are asking question that might be concerning to them and you guys are taking it as a joke i don't think this thread was put here to put dumb pictures.i think if you want to do that you always have facebook to go to if you want to joke around.dont always take thing as a joke.you might want to know something and might not get the answer because other people will take you for a joke

[LINY]

Yeah. Right now there are no pending questions from someone else so it's good to have a bit of fun.

On a serious note, as I said before, my sisters friends mother is an MOS down in Central Brooklyn. She is quite short and heavy and she passed the JST. She found a fence to practice on before taking the test so she could master the technique. As soon as she found a good way for her to go over it was a piece of cake she said.

[snyperjc]

i don't think the fence is the problem for people i seen more people fail on the dummy drag and the push and pull machine than anything else

[options open]

unless your very very out of shape, you shouldn't have a problem don't sweat it

[NYPD4ME]

Sorry people, but sometimes I can't resist.:rolleyes:

[NYPD4ME]

I do have to say, in all sincerity if you really feel the JST will be hard for you or you have failed it even after it has been down-scaled from easy to easier, this might not be an appropriate job for you. Your physical agility will play a huge role in your safety and the safety of an officer you may be backing up. Don't take this job to look pretty in a uniform and get a nice paycheck, as it may cost you or someone else there life. If any of you have doubts, rethink your career because this is for real and you don't want to find out the hard way. I know this sounds harsh, but it may save someone's life.

Actually, there is a coat check right between the snack stand and TV room that candidates can have their jacket hung up. They can also grab a snack and watch some TV while awaiting there turn for the JST. I personally took advantage of the swimming pool and massage parlor, but that's just me.:D

[Dale Cannon]

The JST has never been easier. If you can't pass this test,then you really should think long and hard about becoming a police officer. Now I know there may be situations like an injury re-hab or if you were once severely out of shape and you're taking the long hard road back to being fit,but you've had months from the entry test to the JST to get in shape. If you can't pass,there's no excuse.

[jrm1313]

Just a heads up for some of the women out there. I saw many females fail on the trigger pull. You should practice with a hard trigger cleaner bottle. No joking either. Take what you want just make sure you can do at least 20 each hand one finger. 20 being that the trigger pull on a firearm is a little harder than the glass plus bottle and you won't be tired from running the full JST. But again small hand females should practice this. We need more females out there! A woman's speak can smooth over that 6'5" EDP 85. I've seen it happen.

[Chuckb88]

I noticed on the nypd recruit website that the schedule for the walk in exams is only through the end of October. Does this mean there wont be anymore walk ins after october is over or, do they just put a november schedule up once it becomes november?

Hey I did the Jst im a female and the trigger pull was a breeze for me yet i had been practicing with a thing you squeeze to build muscle in your hand=)

The hardest part for me was the fence however i jumped over it in the first try.

They might be cutting down the exams now that they are flooded with candidates and the job has become desirable again. I wouldn't be surprised if they start giving the exams every 2-4 years like they used to and charging for it.

don't hop it, just climb it. all you have to do is literally jog up to the fence, stop at the bottom and climb over like you've done a million times. its a piece of cake.
