Getting into NYPD

[skibum81]

I have a question about getting into NYPD. I am former LEO from another state and I have Bachelors degree. I am in the process of finishing up my testing so that I can make into the next academy. My only concern is that at my old agency, I caught an IA for being drunk in public(verbal argument at a bar with another drunk guy), off duty. All I got was a written reprimand saying don't do it again. Do you think NYPD will not take me because of this? This is the only thing on my record, not even a speeding ticket. What do you all think?

Trust there are some guys that got in for far more worse crap than that. You should be fine.

I hope so, I don't want one drunken night to ruin me forever. Thanks for the feedback
