Suffolk and Nassau County Exam results

[leeza]

Just letting everyone who took these exams know that I just called both civil service agencies and asked about when we will be receiving results:

Suffolk County: Results will be posted ONLINE on December 24th, 2007.

Nassau County: Civil Service official told me to expect them by August of next year (2008). They are waiting on the state to process them and will be sending letters out when they receive the scores.


Good luck to everyone and hopefully the Suffolk scores will be a nice Christmas present for you all (if you celebrate it of course). :)

August of next year???? That's crazy

I know. I expected it to be around the same time as Suffolk. I guess beggars can't be choosers :rolleyes:.

For which exam is this, Nov. 17 of this year?

Thanks.

No. The Suffolk exam that is being referred to was on June 9th and the Nassau Exam was in August I believe. The Nov 17th exams were not for the two counties above, as far as I know.

[tedgmcc]

Do you think they will have the military make-up exam (Suffolk Co.) from August?

[leeza]

I have no idea about military make-ups but don't hesitate to call the Suffolk County Civil Service Commission. They actually pick up their phones in the first 5 tries, unlike the State :rolleyes:.

[Chantico]

Where do you find the scores online?

[RodFarva]

Where do you find the scores online?

At each county's civil service website.

Google: suffolk county civil service
Google: nassau county civil service

[tc618]

The new Police Officer eligible list will be established on December 27, 2007. Candidates who took the Suffolk County Police Officer written test in June 2007, may check their scores and position on the list on this site beginning on Monday, December 24, 2007.

[IAmJeff]

results come out today, everyone excited? I know a few of you are waiting until after christmas to look, but I'm not really counting on this, so if it's good, then great, but if it's not, I wont be disappointed.

Agreed. Hopefully they'll be up soon!

[richbrown123456]

Well they are up, and i am not very happy.. well i hope everyone else did well cause i didnt but of course theres always other things to fall back on.. GOOD LUCK TO ALL

[IAmJeff]

nevermind, I found it. got an 80, hahaha. hey, maybe the 13,000 people in front of me are all felons. oh well, I'm starting my application processes in january, so suffolk wasnt even on my list unless I got a good enough grade to start getting processed right away. good luck to everyone else and merry xmas.

[salc0025]

so now that the suffolk grades are out does anyone now how they pick for the town police departments. does anyone know what number they start processing on? i heard they start in the 80's but im not sure. i took the test specificaly for a town department out on eastern suffolk.
thanks ahead for any responses.

[LEIsMyLife21]

just go to the elible list and look for police officer...6/9/07...it'll open up a list, just look for ur name...its grouped by last name and grade so it doesnt make it so hard

[FL5OH]

The Towns and Villages are not guided by civil service law, therefore they don't have to hire off the list in order. The only requirement is that you pass the exam and get ON the list. Good luck.

[Chantico]

so how many people do we think suffolk is going to hire?

[SDC1983]

Well I know I didn't score high enough to get a look at by Suffolk, but should I still be hopeful a 87.5 will be high enough to get a letter from Southampton Town? Or Riverhead for that matter? I'm in Flanders so I don't know if that could swing either way.

If not, there's still Nassau and Suffolk CO...

[SDC1983]

so how many people do we think suffolk is going to hire?

The number that keeps getting thrown around is 400ish

[richbrown123456]

I also graded a 87.5 im not expecting anything its pretty far down the list but i guess you never know... what was the list number for 2003 suffolk police test with the score of 90 (as far as they went for the 2003 test)

[Peconic]

Hey all, good luck with the scores! I got a 92.5, but I am on with a diff. dept, so its all good. All the best in your pursuits and the Holidays!

[FL5OH]

RE: Towns and Villages

They hire off the Suffolk list, but not in list order. They will almost certainly give preference to:

1. Residents of that specific town and/or village
2. Any part-time/seasonal officers, or current employees who have put some time in and also managed to get on the list.

Either way, good luck.

[gbotj]

Steve Levy just announced that he wants to cut the starting salary for SCPD officers in order to hire more cops than the usual 400 over 4 years. So guys with 90's now have a damn good shot.

[danielleites]

i got 97.5 and am list number105 but about 300 other people have the same score ..... how do they break it down

[Stackit02]

i got 97.5 and am list number105 but about 300 other people have the same score ..... how do they break it down

unfortunately, you miscalculated big time. I too have a 97.5, but there are 767 people with that same score. We are list # 105 and the people that scored 95 are #872. My only question is,the first years classes they put in, i assume they will want to process more than 100 people. When they dip into the 97.5's, do they call all 767 people, do they do a lottery, or how do they decide who is going first out of that group? Anyone have any info?

[gbotj]

when they have more than 100 names to pull from off the same grade they put all the names in the computer and the computer pulls about 250-300 of those names out of the 767 (in your case).

So you have about a 39% chance of being called for the first group of the lottery for 97.5's.

the way it works is by a lottery system.
for example, they just called around 5k people to start processing.
so first they do the ppl with 100's and then lets say the next score is 97.5.
and they only need to get 800 people more for processing and there are 2,000 people with the score of 97.5, so they put all of those people with the score of 97.5 in a lottery and witdraw the 800 names that they need out of the 2,000.

[JBStateCO]

Hey Guys,

Concrads to everyone with good scores I recieved a 82.5

[PBXTech]

Congrats to the guys with the 97.5s and higher. I scored a 95. I will take this job nomatter what they do with the pay. Hopefully they get to the 95s in the second class.

[Cakes87]

sigh i got a 90 what a bummer, oh well hopefully i did better on the nassau one

[JBStateCO]

When do you guys think the nassau results will come out? Do you guys think they are as strict with the scores as Suffolk?

I should in that class along with you july 2008

[ZELAYA13D]

Hey everyone,

Congrats to all who achived a good score.

Does anybody know when SCPD will start calling from this test results

[gbotj]

about 6 months from now

[ZELAYA13D]

in six months will this be for the physical exam?

Does anyone know what they make you do (example 40 pushups, 40 situps, 1 mile run) and in what time frame they give you to pass.

[gbotj]

right now they have 1 academy class in, they went in on Dec. 26th once this class gets out (june) they will begin processing. They start a new group 6 months before a class goes in sometimes longer. Thats when the physical is.

[ZELAYA13D]

gbotj,

Do you know what they ask you do for physical

[gbotj]

it depends on your age and gender.

how old are you, and are you a guy or girl?

[ZELAYA13D]

Male 27 Years Old

[gbotj]

Sit-ups - 38
Push-ups - 29
1.5 mile run - 12:29

[diamondlm]

what are chance of score of 95 getting called for this year

[fedny]

These tests have all been changed through the years, don't let the score get you down, there is abosolutely no skill involved, these tests are made to hire minorities and let the counties play with who they want to hire.

[skeezix]

My brother in law and myself both scored 97.5's. Cant believe so did 767 other people.

[ChrisF202]

These tests have all been changed through the years, don't let the score get you down, there is abosolutely no skill involved, these tests are made to hire minorites and let the counties play with who they want to hire.
Yup, well said. Look at how they had that test a few years back where they waived the $100 fee for minorities.

Talk about bs.

[ZELAYA13D]

gbotj,


Where do you get your information, sounds like you've been through the process or do you have an inside tip? But thanks for the info it can be handy to know what to expect just in case I hit this lotto.....lol

[JBStateCO]

You guys need to save that minority B.S. because that agency needs to get more diversed!

[ChrisF202]

How about we just hire the most qualified person for the job regardless of sex, race, etc?

When we lower standards for a certain group, waiver requirements, and hire people just to "diversify" is when an agency begins to go down the tubes.

[Cakes87]

I wonder how they grade the questions such as, have you ever gotten detention or if you have a 4.0 average, seems kinda lame, at least thats what I think bummed my score down a bit.

[gbotj]

some questions have both right or wrong answers. Those questions are usually the ones that they bring up on the polygraph test.

[nyfinestgrl]

So the agency goes down the tubes when you hire minorities huh? Ignorance , if that was the case and they didn't consider sex, minority,etc. All your workers will be White men and that's about it, it would not look right. I think we should all pay, but they do need to take consideration of some things. Hiring minorities ,sex does not make the agency bad , its the people who do no matter who they are.Just about anyone can go sour. Be careful what you say before you open your mouth,it will get you in trouble.

[formerFAM]

Can anyone give more insight about the "banding" concept.

How about hiring the most qualified person? Best person for the job should not be hired based on race, religion or creed. This country has always been about hard work and being self made. Affirmative action is nothing but a racist system which in itself discriminates non-minorities. Quota systems that use race to include or exclude people are unfair. I've been in law enforcement over 8 years obviously you have not. How would you feel knowing that your partner got a low score on an entrance exam, in firearms and on the physical abilites, but was hired due to race??? I bet you would feel real safe knowing your life is on the line.

[Cakes87]

yea, I wouldn't be too thrilled if I had a partner at any type of work that wasn't really the best man for the job. Maybe thats why so much stupid stuff happens in the work place.

[ChrisF202]

Nyfinestgrl, I did not say anything about hiring minorities or females running an agency, all I said was that we we hired persons who may not be qualified for the job and just because they are Black, female, Hispanic, etc that in the end it often lowers the quality of the agency.

You cant argue with that.

[JBStateCO]

Chris,

I read you post on this topic. I think in all you have a point on having the best person for the job. You just have to remember how to put you words at first. Minorities in general definitely needs to be in every agency but iin a way equal to everyone else. Some exams are definitely unequal to some

[Joe23]

First post and question... thanks to all who listen and post.

I did well on the written test and I am hoping for a 1st or 2nd round callback. I was wondering about the next rounds of testing. I don't see a problem with the physical, but I heard that the background check can get pretty hairy... that with so many people taking the test and scoring well they are extremely selective. I've had a few parking tickets, from back in college, and one expired registration. All of these were taken care of, but one was dealt with after I had recieved a threat of suspension. Also, my credit is pretty bad. My score is going up, but it was in the toilet not too long ago. So my questions are; do they even consider credit score in the background (which I've heard that they do, but I don't exactly trust hearsay), and also, are their background checks thorough enough that parking tickets will hurt me? Thanks.

[gbotj]

parking tickets shouldnt hurt you, but they do look into your credit. I'm not sure on how much weight the credit check holds but I'm assuming it could cause for DQ.

[Cakes87]

how much would it hurt if you got a speeding ticket when you were 16? Do they say like oh ok he was just a kid and he hasn't gotten one since or do they still use that against you.

[Cakes87]

oh and do they count a speeding ticket if it was out of state?

[gbotj]

these things dont automatically disqualify you. The only reason why they go through so many people is because so many people take the test, I mean 4000 people scored better than a 90. No other civil service test has that many, so theres going to be alot more with more serious background problems. A summonse isnt that big of a deal, its a violation not a crime. Things happen, just show remorse and your fine.

[Cakes87]

ah ok as long as they dont auto disq me then good.

[Joe23]

Thanks for the reply. Was a little shocked first hearing about the credit check... would hate to think of getting DQ'd for that. I have been making a conscious effort to raise the credit score up, not just for the background check but also for all the obvious reasons. If that's all I have to worry about then I should be okay.

Any word on if there will be a 2008 class?

[gbotj]

they usually have classes at the end of each year, so 08's class would be in the last quarter.

[e-man]

You guys need to save that minority B.S. because that agency needs to get more diversed!

Not to get in a ****ing contest cause I do not know you but to make a statement to your above post


WHY?

Tell me why a department must hire people that 'fit the neighborhood"
So if its a city environment, they shoulda hire people from the projects, cause well they know what its like to live in the hood.
Or in a department on the north shore, they should only hire rich white kids from Upper Brookville or whatever north shore 'hoods?


I never understood that, oh yeah its reverse descrimination and I'll never understand that.


When I took the Suffolk test a few years ago, I had never scored below a 94 on any police test and had about 8 years police experience, hostage negotiator, FTO, instructor training, etc. But hey they scored me an 82.5

Its all in the little boxes checked on the application.
Like someone posted , just hire the most qualified people, NOT a black person or a female hispanic.

[CBPO23]

Does anyone know if the physical requirements for the accademy are different from the initial physical screening requirements?

[gbotj]

yes, the requirements to graduate are 10% hire than the PAT.

what ever number it is to pass the PAT for example male 20-29 years old is 29pushups to enter academy to graduate you have to do 31 pushups, the run time is shorter and you have to do more situps (roughly 10% same as everything else).

[PBXTech]

So I scored a 95 on this test, I was excited but now the more I hear the less chance it seems I actually have.

I was told today that the last list only put in 3 classes with a total of 260 people off a list of 20,000+ people. I was also told that the last test people with a 92.5 had a list number in the 400s. Is any of this true? Thanks for your time.

[gbotj]

PBX dont worry, your good.

I believe they put in more classes but kept the number from 50-100.

there was about 1000 people who scored 92.5 and they got them all.

[SDC1983]

What's the story with Nassau's results? I hear some people say the usual six months and others say it could take alot longer. You would think they should be coming out pretty soon...

[Cakes87]

pretty sure nassau's results were going to be released in august

[leeza]

What's the story with Nassau's results? I hear some people say the usual six months and others say it could take alot longer. You would think they should be coming out pretty soon...

I called and asked. Its August.

[mike91220]

When I called and asked about Nassau county test results they told me late spring early summer! I dont think they really know when, why would it take a year to get test results back?

[leeza]

When I called and asked about Nassau county test results they told me late spring early summer! I dont think they really know when, why would it take a year to get test results back?

The state may grade the tests by priority. If Nassau doesn't need the results back asap, then they may grade another dept who may need more officers first. It also may allow some time for more vacancies to open up within Nassau. Thats just my guess though. Just seems logical.

[MELANIEC]
