NYPD July 2008 academy class!

[John2008]

Who in here is waiting for the July 2008 academy class?
if so when do you start processing for it?.

I called APD and they set me up to start the hiring process for march 2008.
I guess I'll be in the NYPD if all else fails, I hope they fix their starting pay by then to since those college bills are going to start coming.

[IAmJeff]

hey, john, there you are. I was just asking about you in another thread. yea, I'm thinking I'm gonna be trying for the july class. I probably wont start processing for a while though. no rush. I'm looking at dc, baltimore, dc transit, and a pd in jersey. I'll also be taking the njdop exam in may. how did you do on the suffolk exam? I only got an 80, so I can safely cross that one off my list, lol.

[hxd]

I'm testing in February and hoping to get into Quest. I probably won't make a 2008 academy class. But hey, you never know.

[John2008]

we're on the same boat, I got a 90 so I guess I'll try again in 2011 depending where I'm at. Ihavent been online much because of school and the holidays,I'm glad that they're over. how have you been? and good luck with all those places I hope you get something good.

[nyctofl]

im trying for the july class, live in florida part time till june, they told me to call in january to start the quest program and that i would be processing either late febuary or early march. Good luck to all. Hopefully nysp will take me though

[jayvi]

What's the written test like for NYPD? I registered for exam #7011.

[Juliet]

If you're remotely intelligent and you care about how you do, you'll get a really good score. They ask you a lot of the same type of questions so you're tempted to just skip to the end of the question and fill it out real quick- because you're bored- thats the only "hard" part- the test is really really easy.

[IAmJeff]

I've been all right. I'm glad the holidays are over, too. it's all just a pain. haha. so I'm guessing you'll be graduating in may/june? I cant believe we only have one semester left. it seems like last week I was all ****ed because I had to wait another year before starting to apply and now I'm gonna be starting in a couple weeks. did you get your results for psp yet?

[John2008]

yea I did, I did horrible on that test, it was a completly different test from what I'm use to. but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'll try again in a couple of months for PSP. I'm so happy I only got one semester left;it feel like its been for ever lol the longest 4years of my life lol. I start the hiring process for the NYPD in early march, I guess I'll do that until I get something better.

[Army2PD]

Hey John ,you can start the process as early as feb. The sooner you start the process the better ! I am currently on hold for some paper work for a accident that I was in , however I have my med and psych done ( the psych is what can really make or break you!) I just need the missing paper work,jst and the mini med and Ill be 4q.

[John2008]

I wanted to but they person that answered the phone in the apd told me I have to wait until march and that was all. Before I could ask if I can start earlier they hung up on me, I can feel it already this is just a preview of the crapy treatment you get in the NYPD.

[JohnieBK]

Hey John2008, APD doesn't want to waste time talking about a July class since they are extremely busy trying to get the class to start on Monday contacted. Call back in a few weeks, after the backfill is processed. I hope that it works out for you.

[John2008]

I figure that too, but I was thinking if I call back I'll probably will get the same answer. I'm thinking they are going to process me with the people that are taking the test in Feb. or that just took one of those test in Jan. lets see what happens. I'll give em another call in Feb just to see what they said.
Thanks for the info.

[IAmJeff]

bump..........

[RodFarva]

I am going to re-open my application soon for the July class. I just need to come up with money to pay for all the FEMA credits I took. And I need to get back on track working out, I took a break from running / gym during the Holidays...

I think most ppl did, I gained 10pounds from thanksgivng to new years.

[IAmJeff]

hahaha, nice. I actually lost 6 pounds from thanksgiving to xmas, but I've just about gained it back.

[Juliet]

Hey. I got everything done in Nov and December except the JST and college credits. Does anyone know if I have to re-open my application or anything? or can i just continue with the same investigator and everything like before since it was only this past nov/dec? I'm looking to go in the July academy

[Army2PD]

I think you have to reopen your case again,do the JST ,and the Mini medical. I put myself on hold right before New years , My investigator said that I have to take the jst , the mini medical ,reopen my case in brooklyn, and they will give you the same investigator again.

[trooperhopefull]

Hey. I got everything done in Nov and December except the JST and college credits. Does anyone know if I have to re-open my application or anything? or can i just continue with the same investigator and everything like before since it was only this past nov/dec? I'm looking to go in the July academy

When I withdrew my investigator told me all I had to do was to call him and he would put me back on the list, as long as it was within six months. The pschy, JST and mini med are only good for six months. The first medical is good for two years and you just have to update your background. The first thing you have to do is call your investigator to reopen your case.

[porsche11]

Heys guys, quick question. I took the NYPD test in November and passed. They wanted me to come down to the city December 7th and bring my transcript, SS card etc. I decided not to go down, so my question is will they contact me for the July 2008 academy or do I need to give them a call? Thanks alot guys!

[WM40]

I did the same thing and called a week ago. I guess they were still working on the January class and told me to call back this week or next. They do need you to re-open your case because they will have closed it based on you not showing for the Dec. 7th date. The first person I spoke to was very annoyed with me and thought I was someone who had called a few minutes before. Otherwise, I don't think it's a big deal.

[richbrown123456]

I took the test over a year ago and didn't show up and im still getting letters every month or so from them.

[porsche11]

Ok thanks guys, I'm going to give them a call tomorrow.

[porsche11]

Well I spoke to someone, there was a lot of static on the phone, but he told me to call back after Feb 10th to re-open my case.

[NYPDsomeday]

Hey folks. I'm in the same boat as some of you. I took the test in October, got the letter to show up, but have a full time job (that actually pays me pretty darn well), so I didn't go.

I just got my yellow card with test score (94) and list number (38), so my question is - what exactly does the list number mean? I might be trying to July '08 as well

[porsche11]

What do u mean by yellow card? I never got one...just an envelope with my list number.

[NYPDsomeday]

The yellow card came about a week ago (long after the letters with list number) this had my score, test number, everything. Even my social (which bugged me that they were sending it out).

[porsche11]

oh ok...when did you take your written test?

[NYPDsomeday]

I took it October 13th.

[porsche11]

oh ok that makes sense then, I took mine in November.

[NYPDsomeday]

What was your list number? And what the heck does the list number mean!? lol

[porsche11]

My list number was 168. The list number is what you ranked out of all the people who took the same test that you did. The lower your list number, the better your test score. They call the highest scorers first for the job opportunity.

[porsche11]

where in jersey you from?

[NYPDsomeday]

From Bergen County

[chuckyd]

Whats up guys, I took the test last feb. i think. Is my score still good? Also do ya think alot of jersey guys are goin for nypd this year with the NJ LEE coming out? Also if ya got on in the NYPD say for July you would loose all yur chances in any jersey town cause you wouldnt live in NJ anymore. Right?

[jrm1313]

Does anyone know what day in July the academy starts. Trying to plan a get away before anything starts. Thanks~

[wpaterno]

I'm from Jersey and there are alot of guys from Jersey in the academy with me right now.

[NYPDsomeday]

How easy was it for you, and the others from NJ, to find affordable housing in NY? That's the hardest part of doing it, I think

[wpaterno]

I'm living in Riverdale, northwest bronx, in a nice area. i'm renting a one bedroom and it's 950 a month. It's a good experience so far.

[NYPDsomeday]

950? You must have had a savings account before you moved in!

[Big Will]

950? You must have had a savings account before you moved in!

Thats about what its going to cost if you don't want to live in the hood.

[NYPDsomeday]

I'll just be trying to get a free place in Rockland county. I work here now, and know enough families that will let me move in. I really wish the NYPD would let you live in Bergen, Hudson, Essex county in NJ. It's closer than Orange county

[porsche11]

Yeah I live in Orange County, not the quickest commute.

[Mplinks]

I'm new too this site and just want to wish every-body shooting 4 July 08 academy good luck....

[Mplinks]

Who tryed to make January 08 class ? ( If you could/want tell the reason u did not make it)

[Big Will]

I'll just be trying to get a free place in Rockland county. I work here now, and know enough families that will let me move in. I really wish the NYPD would let you live in Bergen, Hudson, Essex county in NJ. It's closer than Orange county

I live about 45 mins from Manhattan and I'd be moving 10 miles from were I live now and paying a minimum extra 200 hundred in rent(not to mention significant pay cut but it's all part of paying your dues) I think as long as you get to work on time who cares were you live.

I agree, except that - the commuting cost can get pretty steep if you live too far away

[Big Will]

I agree, except that - the commuting cost can get pretty steep if you live too far away
I agree but in NY your cost of living can get pretty steep if you live too close!

[jrm1313]

Any 4004's left? Is this our last chance off the 4 year?~j

[wpaterno]

If you get on a train the commute is free. The only time I drive my truck now is to change parking spots.

[NYPDsomeday]

How quickly do you get a pass for the trains though?

[jrm1313]

Howdy y'all,
FDNY EMS called me in for a interview for Tuesday. Would it look bad if FDNY interview/background find out that I'm in line for NYPD in July if I get me credits together. If they fail me for that, would the NYPD accept me if FDNY failed me for such reason. Should I bother going to the FDNY interview. I'm doing it for a back up. The FDNY might have an academy in March. That is when the screening starts for the NYPD. I blew the FDNY interview once already. If I do it again they will pass on me. Any advice on this please Thanks

[wpaterno]

we got metro cards on the third day.

[Jayc6018]

I am officially going in for the July 08 class on the 3047 test that I took some 4 yrs ago I finally made up my mind lol

[gbotj]

good luck JC. Would you ever switch to TBTA?

[John2008]

we got metro cards on the third day.

I've heard that if someone does something stupid on the train, they take those away for the whole class. I would be mad if someone messes that up for me.

[Jayc6018]

good luck JC. Would you ever switch to TBTA?

I would switch in a heart beat :cool:

Bet TBTA, PAPD, NYPD, White Plains PD, Mount Vernon PD, Westchester DOC, MTAPD, Sanitation and Secret Service I am at the point where whom ever calls me 1st I will go with, that said NYPD been sniffing at my door for 4 yrs now so I figure I will do the academy and if something else come up with the other agencies then I will resign NYPD and go elsewhere

[NYPDxJx]

Hey guys, new to the forum here, just got a quick question for everyone. I actually took the test for the NYPD back in Oct. I passed but didnt want to go to the january academy since it was last minute and all. I DO however want to go to the july class coming up though. So my question is do i have to get in contact with anyone to let them know im interested in the July class? And where do i go from there?

Thanks.

[WM40]

I'm in the same boat - took the test in November. Got a letter to show up for processing at the Police Academy in early Dec, but couldn't make it and knew Jan was too tight. I'm coming from out of town. I called a couple of times since the Jan class started to schedule Quest processing and each time they've told me to call back in a week or two. I guess maybe they're still busy with the Jan class for some reason. They weren't very friendly on the phone, e.g., won't give you two pieces of information when one will do.

[WM40]

Forgot one thing, on another post maybe earlier on this thread someone said they will eventually send out letters to everyone again. So you may not need to call, but since I'm coming from out of town, I have to call anyway to schedule the 4 day Quest processing.

[wpaterno]

call your inverstigator

Just call the APD and tell them you're ready for the July class and thwy're going to ask you for your test # and List # and most likely tell you that you'll start everything in March, that's what they told me that I can't start until March.

[John2008]

Thanks :)

so what did they tell you?

[NYPDxJx]

so what did they tell you?

Called yesterday. Said exactly what you told me that the process wont really begin until March. Thanks again.

[John2008]

Called yesterday. Said exactly what you told me that the process wont really begin until March. Thanks again.

Do me a favor if you can or remember, let me know when you get your letter to report for the medical. and I shall do the same. that goes for anyone too.

I just have to make sure I do everything right and pass everything because I graduate from college in may and I want to go straight into LE no matter with wich PD picks me first.

I wont forget, i'll let you know as soon as i get any further information from them.

[John2008]

anyone has a any news on the new contract?
hopefully the new contract would be out before July.
I've heard they going to put out the new contract after march

[John2008]

The hearings before the PERB panel that will decide our 2004/06 contract ended Friday, January 11th. The record will remain open temporarily for the submission of additional documentation while the parties simultaneously prepare and file final briefs. The chairperson has set February 11th as the deadline for the submission of written closing briefs from both sides and March 3rd as the deadline for the responses to those briefs. Once they are submitted, the panel will consider the voluminous testimony taken over the twelve days of hearings along with the evidence submitted and the closing briefs and will begin the deliberation process that results in an award.

This round has had its own special challenges because of the various schemes and artifices created by the City to divert the panel’s attention from the fundamental issue in the case — the woefully inadequate compensation of New York City police officers. Even as the case wound to its conclusion, the City manufactured new arguments, offered new “evidence,” modified old events to fit current positions, and even picked up assists from so-called independent agencies. (You will hear more about this in future communications.) All this material had to be addressed and City witnesses, including those who were simply sent before the panel by the City with prepared statements that could hurt our case, like our own Department officials, had to be unmasked. The process was painstaking, required comprehensive and detailed preparations and took time for lengthy cross examinations. At the same time, those who supported our case with testimony, and there were many in this round, had to be readied for their own testimony and cross examination.

The result of our efforts is that we believe the record is decidedly in our favor, exactly where we need to be going into this phase of the proceeding. The case is now in the hands of the arbitration panel. Over the coming weeks, we will reduce to writing in the form of briefs all of the material developed in the record in the PBA’s favor and all that evidence undermining the City’s position and argue for an award of substantial pay increases that will help bring us to a market compensation scheme.

Our expectation is that we will continue to provide detailed narratives of the proceedings on the web site, supplemented by topical pieces about certain subject matters presented in the proceeding. In addition, our intention is to provide in the future an in-depth newsletter highlighting witness testimony in the proceeding. Given the nature of this proceeding, each day of testimony has generated hundreds of pages of transcripts, which must be boiled down to a synopsis that is brief and that will be of value to our members. A synopsis of the first several days of testimony are available on our website.

We appreciate your continued support as we go into the final stage of this process.

Fraternally,

Patrick J. Lynch
President

[John2008]

anyone hear anything for the July class? as far as processing?
they told me I'll start in march I haven't heard anything yet, I might have to call them back and see what they tell me. after all they only have 4months to process us after this month.

[NYCTNT]

Dont worry, they will get to you. Right now they are focused on processing civilian employees at this moment.

APD does not only investigate PO elegibles.

[John2008]

true, I'm going to wait until the first week of march. and then maybe call them if I don't hear anything from them.

[John2008]

anyone in here start processing yet for the July class?

[RodFarva]

I should have money to pay for the credits I need through FEMA this week. Once those come through I'm calling NYPD to start the process for July.

[John2008]

I just found out I have to go reopen my case. I called back in Jan and they told me everything is fine and then I call today and they tell me I have to go into queens to reopen my case. awww what a great feeling. Welcome to the NYPD way of doing things.

[theole34]

they tell me I have to go into queens to reopen my case.

they give you a reason? or did they leave it open ended?
no need to post reason, just curious if they told you?

[John2008]

they give you a reason? or did they leave it open ended?
no need to post reason, just curious if they told you?

she said because I'm going to be processing from a list from a year ago, beginning of 2007. and since I didn't go the first two times they sent me letters they closed my case. but I didn’t go because I was under 21. I just turned 21 in Jan. so she just said come into the APD office with photo ID and my transcript and they'll set me up with everything else.

[JKOSU]

I took the written exam in June 2007 but then was unsure and so I didnt show up for anything else even though I was sent a few letter asking me to show up for processing.

My question is, do I have to retake the exam if Im interested in the July Academy or can I use the results from the June 2007 exam even though I did nothing after I took that exam?

Thanks

[theole34]

John2008 -
hopefully they get you in the next class.
then you too can complain like the rest of us.:)
It's really not that bad of a job, if you don't mind being a low income cop.

[IAmJeff]

JKOSU - exam is still good, call APD to reopen your case as it may be closed...but dont call until march, that's when july processing begins.

[John2008]

JKOSU - exam is still good, call APD to reopen your case as it may be closed...but dont call until march, that's when july processing begins.

he should call asap, I was at APD today to re-open my case and they set me up for a medical for march 7th.

LOL, well it's set up that way. because the NYPD is the only agency that's really hiring and plus it's a lot more than I'm making now lol

your test is still good call APD and ask them. I called and they told me my case was closed so I had to re-open.

[Big Will]

Does anyone know what the medical and character assesment consist of? I know I have to bring college transcripts and dress in business attire. I recieved my invitation and I want to be as prepared as possible. Thanks guys

the medical is you stand inline for how ever long it takes, and youll fill out forms about your medical history, they check your vision, hearing. take hair sample for drug test. mmmm EKG. I might be missing a couple of things.
what day is your medical on?

[JKOSU]

The Applicant Processing Division

The primary function of the Applicant Processing Division is to select the most qualified police officer, traffic enforcement agent and school safety candidates for a challenging career in the New York City Police Department. It is the responsibility of each applicant investigator to ensure that pertinent aspects of every candidate's history have been thoroughly reviewed. The command's major accomplishment is the processing of approximately 86,000 candidates for the position of police officer within the last five years, of which 12,318 were hired.

when you do your medical be prepared to be there from 630am till 3pm...the onli way it wont take that long is if u have a hook in the medical office

[John2008]

when you do your medical be prepared to be there from 630am till 3pm...the onli way it wont take that long is if u have a hook in the medical office

yup yup, and if you can just try to wear slacks,dress shoes and a dress shirt with a tie instead of a full suit because I think you have to undress like 3times. and make sure you have some real nice shoes since you'll be standing for a decent time.

[Saint_Jude]

Hello all,

I've been lurking for a while getting info. on NYPD's process, thanks for all your posts. I just took the test last Friday. How long did it take after the test to get 'official' word on the results ( I say "official because that thing was easy). Also, for anyone with experience with the QUEST program how long does that take to get rolling after the exam.

thanks

[Saint_Jude]

Uh Yeah...nevermind the ? about when we'll get the results...I found an approx. answer in another thread. Any insight on time frames for the QUEST program would be greatly appreciated though.

[NYCTNT]

You need a suit jacket at all times.

This will continue up until the 3rd week of the academy when you get your uniforms.

Key factor here is... BUSINESS ATTIRE.

That equals to = SUIT!

Suit Jacket, Dress shirt, Tie, Slacks and decent conservative shoes.

Leave the pimp hats with the feather sticking out at home.

[PTLovesMe81]

yup yup, and if you can just try to wear slacks,dress shoes and a dress shirt with a tie instead of a full suit because I think you have to undress like 3times. and make sure you have some real nice shoes since you'll be standing for a decent time.

Really bad advice. Slacks with shirt, tie AND jacket. They will find the one or two guys without the jacket or tie and flip out on them. They did it at my medical.

Also, with respect to what you said about what goes on at the medical you are incorrect. There is no drug test at the medical, that is at a later date (about a month before the academy). You get a hearing test, a vision test, an EKG, and you change into your underwear and hop on one foot in a room with 50 other recruits. (No, seriously, I am not even kidding). Lots of paperwork, and thats it. Not much standing you are sitting for most of the time except if you get there early.

Lastly, to the guy who asked about memorizing the eye chart... its a REALLY long line so if you can memorize it good luck. It is, however pretty easy and you can sit there for as long as you need until you guess the letters... if you can't actually see them. You literally need to be BLIND to fail the eye test.

Hope this helps.

Oh and make sure to bring your 75 dollar money order for Fingerprints also.

You get a hearing test, a vision test, an EKG, and you change into your underwear and hop on one foot in a room with 50 other recruits. (No, seriously, I am not even kidding). Lots of paperwork, and thats it. Not much standing you are sitting for most of the time except if you get there early.

Lastly, to the guy who asked about memorizing the eye chart... its a REALLY long line so if you can memorize it good luck. It is, however pretty easy and you can sit there for as long as you need until you guess the letters... if you can't actually see them. You literally need to be BLIND to fail the eye test.

Hope this helps.

ooooooooo, so they don't shave your hair or w/e. I was told that the day of the medical they do the drug test right then and there and they take hair from a part of your body. but I guess I heard wrong. thanks for the headsup.

[NYCTNT]

They do the 2 in one combo of drug test and initial medical if you are late in the game. They do this to cram everything in one to get as many bodies in the academy as possible.

If you are doing things by the "books" and in procedural order.. the drug test should be administered during the "mini-medical". This is the last step of the process to get you in the academy. Pretty much, if you get a mini med appointment, you are pretty much set to get in the academy.

I don't know about other medical, but when I went through the initial medical they shaved my leg for the drug test because I don't have long hair. I also did the eye test, hearing, EKG and met with doctor at mine also. I didn't have a eye chart that you could memorize, you looked into a machine and had to tell the tester where the dot in the diamond is. Make sure you show up early or they will turn you away and wear a tie and business suit also. They will also give you another drug test at the mini medical if you deferred for awhile like I did.

[JKOSU]

he should call asap, I was at APD today to re-open my case and they set me up for a medical for march 7th.

If I wait and call in May, that can't be too late for the July Academy can it?

[NYCTNT]

Why would you wait that long?

If you are lacking credits but do have 45+, you can wrap it up and get the ball rolling now. If you are almost 21, get the ball running now.

It makes NO SENSE to start the process late in the game. All of that CRAMMING OF DATES will take a toll on you and just **** you off.

[Vanacloud]

I called up APD and they assigned me (well you have a choice to choose if you want JST or Psychological test first), to go to the same place for the Medical at March 14th, with business attire at 7:00 AM... Whos with me?

[ItIsWhatItIs73]

i'll tell u one thing i wish we had those finger print machines that apd does in my command..it would make the printing of perps ten times easier

Hey John2008,

Any special dress code to go down and reopen your case or just go in as is? What did you wear? Thanks

[NyCborn]

Hey John2008,

i recently reopen my case and they told me to come casual but dress up for everything else. for example, medi and background

[John2008]

Hey John2008,

Any special dress code to go down and reopen your case or just go in as is? What did you wear? Thanks

when I went to re-open my case I just went in jeans and with a regular shirt because I went there when I was on my 2hour break from school. there were ppl there with the regular street clothes as well, and there was a fedex guy there with his uniform re-opening his case. but after that everything else you will need business attire except for the JST.

Sounds good, Waiting for my transcript to come in the mail any day this month. Thanks~

[NYCTNT]

the basic understanding is that if your investigator understands time restraints and work issues.. then you can come regular dressed/work uniform.

I use to work for a place that hardly gave off when needed on the FLY such as the case with APD and all the other NYPD run arounds.. I came in most of the time in in my work apparel or jeans/shirt.

[John2008]

This is the other side of the nypd.Lousy pay, horrible working conditions and eqiupment that is 8-10 years behind most departments.In 1995 we were told that jobs would be disptched through the mdt's.We would get to see the same info as central sees,instead of trying to pull every last bit of info from an incompetent,barely english speaking dispatcher. That was 13 years ago,the dept has less functioning mdt's in 2008 ................pathetic.

I'm going to call APD in April. I can't take another day off from work until then. Hopefully I get in the July Academy.

[jaekastro]

ughh this sucks, my investigator left so now I have to be re-assigned. I hope they don't lose my papers after all that running around.

[jrm1313]

Any one know if there are any breaks in the Academy? My wife is talking vacation and I'm not even in it yet. I told her probably not! Any clairity on this by recent cadets or someone who knows? Thank you~j

[NYCTNT]

cadets are NOT recruits.

Recruits = people in academy.

Any breaks? Yea! Saturday and Sunday.

umm.. what kinda question is that?

Thanks, for the clear up on definitions. It is a question that a wife asks when she feels that the academy will effect her vacation scheduling. I couldn't care less about vacation, but these are things we must go along with when you become one unit in marriage.

[JayBe88]

I just took the exam a week ago in HOFSTRA University to my knowledge I scored a 93 but I havent received the official score.
How long does it take to get a official score?
I am shooting to go in the July Academy Class I dont have my 60 credits yet but I should have them by June. I also read something regarding school loan reinbursements now if you come in the academy with a school loan that they will reinburse you for classes related to the criminal justice field. Anyone know anything regarding this.

[John2008]

anyone on here ever been on medical review? and so how long did it take for you to get off it?

I'm on medical review for a herniated disc I got from playing football in highschool, did physical therapy for 5months back in 2004 and I haven't had back pain ever since.

so have you ever heard or seen anyone get in the academy with a herniated disc or heard of someone get on medical review for it and then get off from it?

I don't get any back pain or weakness in my back and I'm pretty flexible.

I hope this doesn't stop me from getting into the July academy, I would be heart broken lol

[bklynbob]

Your wife is in for a rude awakening! You will have a hard time getting any days off for years- doesn't matter if it's a wedding or a bbq. The nypd is nearly 6000 bodies short! The only days off you can count on is your annual vacation pick. Considering how young the job is,i would think it would be many years before yo get a good pick.You had better discuss this with your wife,as this could have an adverse effect on your marriage.

[NYCTNT]

lol what BKLYNBOB said is exactly what is going to happen!

I tried being sarcastic, but obviously it didnt work!


John,

Get a letter from the doctor that treated you. Call up the medical division and speak to one of the PAA's to schedule you to see a doc. If the letter looks good, then there shouldnt be any problems.

I have an appt for tuesday and I sent them all my paper work and a letter from my doctor saying that I haven't had any serious back pain in the last two years and everything else, took me 4days to track down papers from 2004. I mailed everything in and faxed it(and I will bring everything with me too since I hear APD is famous for losing paper work). My doctor gave me a back exam and he told me their doctor is going to do something similar to what he did, so he just told me make sure that I do what I do every morning and that's strech out my hamstrings and if I can strech them out more than usual. but I was just wondering if I should be seriously worried. even tho it's crappy pay I need this job

thanks for everything.

[gbotj]

good luck john, I hope everything works out for you (you should be fine)

[NYCTNT]

its ok john..

I was put on review for a screwed up cardio exam. They thought I had irregular heartbeat or some odd medical condition.

I went to a cardio specialist, he pugged me up and gave me a letter. Went to APD and was in and out in about 20minutes. (it was a while ago, it might have been 30!).

Anyone else have the JST yesterday? I thought it was kinda fun.

[BigDogg795]

Has the JST changed at all? Still the 6ft fence surmount, etc.?

Has the JST changed at all? Still the 6ft fence surmount, etc.?

My friend had it last year, he said a couple of people still fail. he said it's hilarious when you watch people hit the fence.

[NYCTNT]

Sameeeeeee JST since I believe... 2005'ish. I think they switched it to this JST sometime in 2006.

It use to be just the 1.5mile and a very different JST course.

[dont h8 dre]

I got a call again for the 1 millionth time. I said I will wait till Jan 09.

[PTLovesMe81]

My friend had it last year, he said a couple of people still fail. he said it's hilarious when you watch people hit the fence.

Wait till you get to the academy the first week and you have the big bad wall instead of that nice easy fence. That is a great day of laughs. For some reason a boatload of people can get the fence pretty easily but the wall kicks their butts for a few weeks in the beginning.

[John2008]

March 20, 2008 -- The number of city cops will plunge to levels not seen since the early 1990s, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly testified yesterday.

Kelly told City Council members that he will follow Mayor Bloomberg's order that agency heads cut their budgets by not hiring 1,000 officers that had been planned for.

The NYPD has had trouble in recent years hiring, and officials point to the current $25,100 starting salary as the chief reason.

"Right now, we have to do something to reduce our budget, and the 1,000-officer reduction seemed practical because we can't hire," Kelly said.

"We had no recruitment problems until June of '05 when the arbitrator lowered the starting salary . . . It's been very difficult to recruit these past 21/2 years with a $25,100 salary in this most expensive city in North America."

An arbitrator is expected to come up with new salary scales in the coming months.

Officials at the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association disputed Kelly's assertions that starting salary was the problem and said overall cop salaries are the issue across the board.

They said focus groups show that salaries in general are a problem.

"The NYPD has turned its inability to maintain staffing levels into budgetary savings at a time when local community precinct houses are screaming for more police officers," said Pat Lynch, the PBA president.

He said Kelly's plan to reduce cops by 1,000 will "strain to the breaking point the work force that is already burdened by fighting crime and terrorism."

But Kelly told lawmakers that the reduction would not affect current operations.

Crime is down to record levels, with murders down to 496 in 2007 - 17 percent fewer than the year before.

By July, cops would number 36,838. Right now, there are about 35,800. In 1992, there were 35,802 cops.

But lawmakers, who were full of praise for Kelly for the city's continually dropping crime levels, were skeptical that fewer boots on the ground could sustain the low crime levels.

"Your force is so over-extended that we will not be able to continue to make the gains that we have seen in the past. I believe that we are about at that point now," Public Safety Committee chair Peter Vallone Jr. said.

Councilmember Hiram Monserrate (D-Queens) pointed out that the city had more cops in 2001 than now.

"During the worst crisis that this city ever faced we had 38,630 police officers and now we have approximately 35,548, somewhere around that. I don't think that makes much sense."

Monserrate, a retired cop, added, "I know if there was a Mayor Kelly right now, we would not be facing this issue."

Kelly said after the hearing that cops would continue working to keep streets safe no mater what the numbers are.

"The Safe Street/Safe City head-count was 38,310, I believe, and the head-count that we are shooting for now is 36,838, so the numbers speak for themselves but a number of efficiencies have been brought to bear since that time."

soooo, do you guys think they will cancel July's class?

[Pekkier]

Word has it they'll be canceling all future NYPD Classes for the time being.










JK, I don't think they'll cancel any classes. Where esle would our MTA Cadets train at if NYPD doesn't hold any classes.

[theole34]

soooo, do you guys think they will cancel July's class?

No.
dropping the staffing level by 1000 is like cutting the top lip off of a half empty jar. you just can't fill it as much as you could before. they still need bodies to cover attrition.

"do more with less"

[WM40]

I think I had read about this somewhere a month or two ago. They are just reducing the authorized number of officers. Since they are more than 1,000 bodies below that number anyway, it won't really effect recruiting. The benefit to the city is that money doesn't have to be dedicated to the PD anymore.

[WM40]

I do wonder though. NYPD's budget is the highest in the country. Over a billion dollars a year. I think Bloomberg is looking at it as a target if a recession reduces the tax coffers. Others may be able to verify or dispute this, but I think there were PD layoffs in the 70s when the city had budget trouble. Of course, then it was so bad there was talk of bankruptcy.

after the reduction they will also be able to say that NYPD is up to staffing levels. more smoke and mirrors that most new yorkers will accept as truth. manipulation of numbers and facts --- my mom and dad taught me not to lie. bloomies and popeyes did not.

[IAmJeff]

yea, I dont think they're actually letting officers go. they're 3,000 people short, so letting go of 1,000 would just make them 2,000 short. remember this article because I bet you'll be seeing something down the road about how happy the nypd is about how they dont have such a bad officer shortage anymore.

[bladez718]

the officers that are on the job, they wont let them go,, theres no such thing as layoffs in the history of this department. what they do is, just hire lower amount of people for the academy class, thats all bc theres already tons of people retiring each yr. it dont make sense bc its estimated by commissioner that 3000 people are retiring the force this yr and the last academy class was only 900 that grafuated. so I think this cutting 1000 officers is bs. im sure alot of people are against it. so i wont think it will happen. Bloomberg's term is almost over.

[theole34]

the cut is a paper fix for budgeted monies. we are budgeted for a fixed amount of police officers. they will cut the top end number. no cops will lose their jobs over this move.

theres no such thing as layoffs in the history of this department.

[theole34]

damn double post

[NYPD5681]

Hi all, I am new to the forums, but I am looking to get into the July 2008 academy class. I recently got my letter in the mail informing me that I passed, and that I am now "eligible to be considered for appointment." It states that "the next step in this process is to prepare necessary paperwork relative to your investigation." It says that I have to report to the academy on April 5th (Saturday), 2008 at 6:30am. I have been told by others that this is just an "orientation," and that its basically "worthless." I don't know how this could be if it is asking me to bring the money orders for fingerprinting etc. Could it be that these people are just trying to misinform others. (I read this info on the NYPDTrainees site stating that it was a "worthless orientation where they just show you videos").
I am going to go because I don't want my process delayed! It sucks though because I was also scheduled to take the MTA Police exam on that day and on that particular morning. I can't help but wonder if the NYPD scheduled this to try and interfere with the MTA's testing, but I doubt that is the case.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. By the way, my name is Mike, I graduated from St. John's University with a Bachelor's degree in Government & Politics and I am from Long Island, NY. Thank you for any info that you can provide me. I have long respected the opinions of those on these forums.

[MPDCjock]

I would take the MTA Police exam and reschedule with APD. There's a lot time to process with NYPD between now and the July class.

Good luck and welcome to the board!

[IAmJeff]

yea man, take the mta test. you could probably take the nypd test again in early may and still be in time for the july academy, or at least the backfill.

[NYCTNT]

you can take the nypd exam monday through friday @ downtown manhattan.

[NYPD5681]

Well, I took the NYPD exam already and I passed. I got the letter saying that I did and to come in for the next step in the process which is to report to the academy to fill out paperwork. I am also assuming that they will do the fingerprinting as well since they are requesting that I bring a post office money order for $75 as well as one for $5. I don't know what other stuff they will do. Probably a lot of paperwork from what I hear.

What I was asking, is if what some people are saying is true. Is this just a "orientation that is a waste of time." Because that is what some people on other forums were stating. I was wondering if what they were saying was disinformation.

As for the MTA Test, I think I am just going to pass on it. Not to be negative, but I know it is highly competitive, a lot of people are taking it, and they don't hire a lot of people anyway. I am looking for a career right now and not looking to really jump from agency to agency unless I get a call from the FBI or CIA since my degree is in Government (International Relations).

[NYCE NYC]

nypd5681..

it is pretty much like an orientation. Your going to spend 8 hours of your life in that auditorium to fill out paperwork which really only takes about 20 min to fill out. atleast thats how it was for me. then again my friend went through it and he only spent like 6 hours, maybe its different every time..either way bring everything they ask for to the "orientation". good luck in the hiring process.

[NYPD5681]

Thanks man. Wow, that sucks though...6-7 hours! Well, I guess its just part of the process. The city (and any governmental agency) seems slow so I guess its no surprise though.

What is the next step in the process after that? JST? Written Psych? Oral Psych?

Also, I have an older brother who I think has had some run-ins with the law. I am not sure what they were though. Do I have to be really specific or can I just state that I know he has had some run-ins but I am not sure what they are?
Will it affect me? I mean I have a totally clean record aside from a couple of car accidents early in my driving history, and maybe like one parking ticket, but that's about it.

Sorry for all of the questions by the way.

[NYCTNT]

NYPD5681,

Take the MTA exam regardless. If you get on NYPD, you just lateral over to MTAPD and do not need to go through(THE SAME NYPD ACADEMY) academy training again.

MTA goes through NYPD academy. So do SUNY on an occassion.

[IAmJeff]

you already spent the money for mta, so why would you pass on it because it's hard to get hired? might as well spend a couple hours and take it, you have to be in it to win it. there will be another orientation for nypd.

and like nyctnt said - take the mta test, spend some time at nypd if you want, and move on if you get called from mta.

[John2008]

I didn't go to the NYPD orientation because everyone said it was a waste of time. and so far I'm doing just fine on the process and plus they tell you everything you need to know at the medical anyways. I just got off medical review FINALLY.

[John2008]

Does anyone have APD form #29 in other words APD-29 Applicant records check. does anyone have that form saved as a PDF file on their comp by any chance and would be willing to let me have it.

it would be greatly appreciated.

The one on the NYPD site looks to be an older version of it.

Just curious, how long from the time of the test to the rest of the process. I am coming from out of town, and I heard about something called Quest, that is like a four day testing process. Any info?

[IAmJeff]

baltimore has a 4 day process if you're interested. I just registered for it. the next one is april 4-7, but I guess that's a little soon for you, coming from WA.

[jrm1313]

I went to the orientation last year and it was alot of chatter and then you are shuffled into like 8 presentation rooms for colleges. It gets you more into the mind set of possible fields within the system. Can you do without it? Sure, but if your information hungry then go. Re-opened, medical is on the 3rd @6:30AM. Anyone else going to 1 Lefrak that day? Wish me luck

[Spigini]

Hey I took the exam #7011 and got a 93 off the proposed exam keys online. Are you guys getting calls for this exam or another one? I haven't recieved a letter or a call yet. Just wondering if they were hiring off this exam or another one. Thanks.

[AvalancheZ71]

What are the vision requirements for NYPD? I saw on the web page that one must have an unrestricted NY license. If someone has glasses and then the license would be be restricted to corrective lenses. Does this mean that they are DQ from NYPD?

[NYPD5681]

Spigini-

When was exam No. 7011 given? I took exam No. 8042 up in Albany as a walk-in at the beginning of February (I went all the way up there from Long Island to take it because the NYPD didn't have info. at the time that they would be giving the exam every day in NYC...sucks for me I guess). Anyway, I took that exam on February 9th I believe, and I don't know what my score was, but I just got a letter March 24th letting me know to report for the next step in the process on April 5th. Which some people are calling it "orientation," but while it may be primarily an "orientation" they are requesting that I bring the $75 money order for fingerprinting, as well as a couple of other things which also leads me to believe that this is also and initial background investigation and there will probably be paperwork to fill out as well. Basically, what I am getting at is that this is a slow process...they move things along very slowly, and I am not a particularly patient person at times so waiting almost 2 months to hear back from them was nerve wracking indeed...just be patient (easier said that done), and I am sure you will get called...especially with a 93 (good job). Good Luck.

the process moves along pretty quick unless you get put on review like I did for my medical, I have the JST on monday and the written physiological on friday then meeting my BI.

[NYPD5681]

I think the process can be quick, or it can be slow. It really all depends on how you look at it. Also, everyone is different. Some people can get put on medical review or delayed because paperwork is misplaced. In talking about my own experience thus far, I feel that it has been somewhat slow. For them to take up to 2 months to get back to a candidate when the test is given on scantrons is just a little slow to me. In college and even in high school when I was given a test on a scantron we had the results back the same day and if not the same day then certainly within a couple of days, but in my opinion for them to take 2 months or in some cases longer from a scantron test is just somewhat long to me. But, again I won't complain cause I finally got my letter and now things will hopefully move along from here on out.
What I am trying to say is that I think that if the city got back to candidates a little sooner then maybe there won't be some individuals who pick up jobs in the interim and then when they finally do get the call they decide against joining (which I guess you can make the argument that they weren't committed then in the first place), but I think that this initial part of the process of getting back to people after the exam discourages some people. But, who knows? Maybe that's their intention to get the people who really want to be there. Anyway, that's just my opinion.

[John2008]

I think the process can be quick, or it can be slow. It really all depends on how you look at it. Also, everyone is different. Some people can get put on medical review or delayed because paperwork is misplaced. In talking about my own experience thus far, I feel that it has been somewhat slow. For them to take up to 2 months to get back to a candidate when the test is given on scantrons is just a little slow to me. In college and even in high school when I was given a test on a scantron we had the results back the same day and if not the same day then certainly within a couple of days, but in my opinion for them to take 2 months or in some cases longer from a scantron test is just somewhat long to me. But, again I won't complain cause I finally got my letter and now things will hopefully move along from here on out.

They city does the hiring process a lot quicker than the state and counties. all the counties and state test I have taken all took 6months just for us to get our scores, shoot I still haven't recieved my NCPD scores and that test was aug of 2007

[NYPD5681]

That sucks. Yeah, I missed the testing for NCPD and SCPD unfortunately. I eventually came to the realization that I wanted to be in law enforcement and by the time I decided on it I missed their tests. NCPD or SCPD would have been better options for me since I live in Suffolk County, but I guess I'll just have to wait until the next round of testing in 2011. I also wouldn't mind going federal (CIA, FBI, ATF).

[jrm1313]

John2008

Are you working off the #4004 exam?

[jrm1313]

The word is that the City is pretty hungry for recruits, so things move alot quicker. July is good three months away. It will be here quick enough. I for one cannot wait. My Firehouse is full of active and retired City and County Police and they all say it is or was very good to them. I guess good spots and good people make it go alot smoother.

[Spigini]

Yea I took the test Feb 23rd of this year. Called them today and i'm list number 365 and if I don't hear anything by mid Apr to call them back. So hopefully I get called soon. Need to get out of the current job i'm in now.

[zeroryde]

What are the vision requirements for NYPD? I saw on the web page that one must have an unrestricted NY license. If someone has glasses and then the license would be be restricted to corrective lenses. Does this mean that they are DQ from NYPD?

nope, I'm basically blind without my corrective lenses and I still passed... don't worry...

On another note, from what I've heard, I thought there wasn't going to be a July class... what has APD told you guys?

Because I hope you guys make it, because I'm tired of being stuck in Impact for 2 classes so far.

[NYPDxJx]

Yeah theres going to be a July class, but i think they only plan to hire 1,817 recruits for it.

[zeroryde]

lol... 1,817.... they must be smoking some good crack...

my class was 1300 tops... and graduated 1100

last class graduated about 900...

no way it'll be 1,817

[jrm1313]

When I re-opened last week, they led me to believe that I was for the July class and it might be the class that gets the bumped up salary. As always this is just locker room chat until it happens.

I was hoping that Impact was a thing of the past! 2 classes, huh! I think a year is enough. Maybe this (hopefully mine) class will get you out of it.

[zeroryde]

I was hoping that Impact was a thing of the past! 2 classes, huh! I think a year is enough. Maybe this (hopefully mine) class will get you out of it.

I hope so, I mean I don't really mind it... since the impact zone for Manhattan South is Times Square... like any place, it just gets old.

Some impact zones in Brooklyn North and Bronx South have 3 classes in impact... so you have a old rookie class, older rookie class, and then your fresh out of academy class all in one squad. This is mostly because the recruiting numbers suck.

from what I hear the new contract is suppose to go into effect in Aug.

I took in Oct. 2004. I think this is my last chance under this test.

That must really suck to see two classes come under you and you are in the same entry spot. At least your in's and out's can assist the newer guys if they need a hand with something. Manhattan South should be a good place. Why wouldn't you want to stay there. Lots of eye candy.

[jrm1313]

I hope I get Manhattan for Impact. Does anyone ever any type of transit(subway) for Impact?

[NYPDxJx]

lol... 1,817.... they must be smoking some good crack...

my class was 1300 tops... and graduated 1100

last class graduated about 900...

no way it'll be 1,817

According to the commish thats what its going to be. The NYPD is looking to cut back 1,000 cops and plan to only hire the 1,817 for the July class. Whether or not it will happen is up in the air, but thats the rumor.

[PTLovesMe81]

The authorized body count for the new class is now around 1800. What they don't tell you is that now in the academy with the current class we are at just over 900ish.

The only thing that MAY happen is if the salary goes up drastically (which I doubt it will) the 2500 people who deferred over the past few classes due to the pay may accept the job offer this time.

Again, I highly doubt that would be the case. You'll be sitting in queens (or brooklyn) college the second week of july getting yelled at just like we were a few months ago. Good luck.

What number did you call?

I figured i'd get something in the mail by now... I thought I aced the written. Apparently I didn't :D. Wait... :(.

[Spigini]

718-972-3120/21

They can tell you what list number you are. Don't have any other information tho. At least, not yet.

they're usually there around 4pm for some reason. cause everytime I called before 4pm they were never there.

John2008,

Good Luck! on the JST.

[John2008]

John2008,

Good Luck! on the JST.

Thank you, I finished in 2:59.
it was funny tho, because I got up too fast from the knee position and took off and then I lost my balance and went straight to the ground lol. I stood up laughing at myself and they were like come on come on and then I jumped the fence with no problem, so the hardest part for me in the JST was the standing up part.

[lightknight64]

so the hardest part for me in the JST was the standing up part.

It's ok John, standing on two legs seem to be difficult for almost every other creature on this planet. :)
Glad to hear that you passed it though!

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

[NYPD5681]

Hey john2008, congrats on the jst man!

I can't wait to get through the rest of this process. So, far I have been told just to report to the first step in the process as I have previously stated. What's weird though is that I received my letter from APD saying that I passed the exam (8042), and to report for the next phase (which I have been told by all of you is an "orientation" of sorts). That is scheduled for April 5th at 6:30am for me (and I am assuming others as well).
However, what is weird is that when I call DCAS to see if there is a list number they claim that there is no list established yet for this exam.
But, on the letter that I received from APD is states that we should all be prepared to "know [the] exam and list number as it appears on the front of this envelope." So, APD has given me a letter establishing a list number for me, and yet DCAS says there is no list...kind of odd? Has anyone experienced something similar?

[NYPD5681]

by the way from the letter I received from APD...according to the envelope...I am exam number 8042 (which is accurate), and it states my list number as 102. Which is fine with me, but like I said I just find it interesting that APD has the list, but yet DCAS doesn't seem to be updated! Although I guess it doesn't surprise me too much because it wouldn't be the first time that city/government agencies don't communicate with each other.

they still use MMPI 2 correct?

I didn't go to the orientation, I skipped it and just waited to be sched for my medical and there they basically tell you everything you need to know.

and that thing with APD and DCAS always happens like that from what I hear.

[John2008]

congrats john..

yes from what I hear I think is a total of 1,100 questions.
does anyone know if they tell you if you passed the psychological right there or they call you and couple of days after and tell you?

[IAmJeff]

I would think they would wait because if they tell you you're crazy in person and didnt pass, they wouldnt want you to...well, go crazy. ;)

[Vanacloud]

John 2008... whats the secret to passing the JST? I took it last monday and i failed... how exactly do u do the Push / Pull? that part messed me up alot and my legs were giving out, maybe i was doing it wrong? any other tips u can give me? btw having 3 hours of sleep before doing this does take a toll on ya

[PTLovesMe81]

thank you sir.
yes from what I hear I think is a total of 1,100 questions.
does anyone know if they tell you if you passed the psychological right there or they call you and couple of days after and tell you?

1) You don't necessarily FAIL the written psych. You get scheduled for the oral psych and they will ask you questions about things they didn't like in the written results when you go for the oral. Pay attention during the last 100 or so questions, I was going cross eyed around question like 950 and answered a question that made it seem like I was schizo.... It was pretty funny, but I almost got in trouble.

2) For the JST if your legs hurt I would seriously go SLOWER before you get to that point. You have over 430ish to do that test, and we need to do it in 3:30 in the academy. Also, lean in with all your weight and side step. When you first get there the guy shows you the best way to do it. LISTEN TO HIM. He has done it once or twice before :)

3) As far as your exam and list number, I got the official notice from DCAS ... the THIRD WEEK OF THE ACADEMY. It doesn't matter now anyway, don't sweat it as long as you passed.

[DAL0507]

Hey bro. first, you really need to get some sleep before the exam. Go there well rested. Second, you have more than enough time to finish the exam so don’t exhaust yourself on the stairs before you reach the push/pull part. The trick, besides having the strength to push/pull, is in the legs’ movement. Here is a video of the exam, do as he does. DONT CROSS YOUR LEGS AS YOU MOVE.

[The Dark Knight]

i took the exam feb 23... if i didn't get anything in the mail yet, does that mean my list number is low? :(

[danny1]

718-972-3120/21

They can tell you what list number you are. Don't have any other information tho. At least, not yet.

I called this number today and they looked up my information by my social. The lady there stated they didn't have a list number for me but I will be getting a letter in the mail to schedule for the medical.

[NYPD5681]

The Dark Knight,

Probably not, because I took the Feb. 9th exam up in Albany and I got a letter from APD last week informing me to report to the Police Academy on April 5th (for "orientation" according to some individuals on here). So, if you took your exam on Feb. 23rd then chances are you might be receiving a letter soon. Good luck.

Danny1,

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. DCAS and APD don't seem to communicate with each other/update one another because I got a letter from APD with my exam # and a list # as well, and yet when I call DCAS and put my information in they say that they have not created a list number for my exam yet which is BS because I got the letter from APD which has it on it. DCAS are supposedly the ones who create the list number, but ultimately it is APD which conducts the recruitment process so in my opinion I would be more concerned with what APD has to say/does. Good luck.

[John2008]

Well the easiest way that you can do the pull and push thing is by using your bodyweight. when you pull just do like they said lean back like your about to sit down and let your body weight do the work and same when you push lean foward and let your bodyweight do the work. as for your legs getting tired, take your time. take your time when you're doing the 5laps because when you get to the dummy that's what kills you. when I got to the dummy I was dragging it really fast and then I just slowed down cause my legs were burning.

I Just Got Off The Phone With Apd And They Said The July Academy Is Postponed Indefinatly. Wtf

[BigDogg795]

I just got off the phone with candidate relations...they confirmed I'm on the list for exam #7011, and switched me to scheduling...scheduling advised that they haven't sent out the letters yet...and that these letters should be for the July academy...:confused:

[John2008]

I Just Got Off The Phone With Apd And They Said The July Academy Is Postponed Indefinatly. Wtf

I just got off the phone with APD and they told me they're going to promote me to Captain. I don't even have to go through the academy.

[JayBe88]

I took the written exam on March 9th and I have yet to receive a official score. Does anyone know on how long it takes for a response with a official score. I checked the Answer Key with my answers and to my knowledge I got a 93 so I think I did pretty good. Also I should be done with my 60 credits in June, but with the fact of Loans I cant get my degree until I have paid in full.I read something stating a reinbursements for Recruits entering the July Class, has anyone heard any info on the reimbursement situation for the July Academy Class.

[Big Will]

Now that s funny ! Theres alot of rumors going around about the July class , just keep up with the process and you will be ahead of the race !

[jchughes05]

Its kind of funny how I am qualified to be a cop here in MD, but I dont have the minimum quals to be a cop in NYC.

i called today, my list number is in the 300s

dammit... do i have a shot?

i must have bombed the written.. and it was so easy! *smacks himself in the head*

Dont worry about the official score. I got mine after i was hired:). as for the the loan reimbursement prgoram, here is a link about it and a phone number to contact for more info:

http://www.nycpolicefoundation.org/RecruitmentPR.pdf

"More information about the college loan program can be received by calling the foundation at 212-751-8170."

Good luck.

Thanks for the info.
Also, How would I know what is my next step as I thought you received your official score with a number to call or can I just call ahead of time to know where I stand on the list and what number can I call. I took the Exam# 8043.

Regarding the loan reinbursement I read they give you the reinbursement annually, like in increments one at the end of graduation from the academy. My only problem is when I finish my Assoc. Degree in June, schools need the loans to be paid off for you to receive the degree or even the transcripts which is my main concern trying to get in the July Class.

i called today, my list number is in the 300s

[JayBe88]

Sorry didnt look back on the postings found the number to call..

Spoke to Candidate Relations 718-972-3120/21 someone picked up right away no problem. Stated Exam #8043 List#54.. Happy about the results. Then person gave me another number to call DCAS for scheduling lady picked up the fone stated they havent received that test as of yet.Exam#8043

[BigAndy]

Quick question for those of you who went through QUEST... Did you request QUEST before or after the orientation? I am coming from NH, so I don't want to make more trips then I need.
Thanks!!!

[bklynbob]

As of today the dept. does not think they will have enough bodies to fill the next class(they shoot for 1100 bodies).I'm figuring the low pay combined with the trial ongoing in queens that few folks want this job. Also see the article "Cops hit the beach" in the 4/1/08 edition of the ny post.

[jrm1313]

Tomorrow is my medical and my school Empire State College could not get my offical transcript together in time for tomorrow. A month and half waiting. I was able to produce through them an UNOFFICAL transcript and I was allow to proceed at the re-opening of my case with it. I fear tomorrow might get a little tricky. Any insight by someone who knows what I might be able to do to get through this. It is true in record but I do not hold the OFFICAL transcript in hand and at mercy of the U.S. Post system. I am bringing my unoffical with me on College letterhead. Can anyone give me peace of mind? Thanks

[danny1]

I have heard mix answers about this, maybe someone can help me out?
I have 52 credits right now and finish 60 in October. I heard you could start the Academy with 45 but have to have 60 at the end. Can anyone confirm this?

As far as I am told to date. It is 45 to start the processing of Medical, Background, etc. and you must have the 60 credits on or before the day of hire which IS the academy and NOT after the academy. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[Army2PD]

Hey jrm1313 you are correct , you must have 60 credits before or at the time of hire . You may also be able to be hierd with an unoffical transcripts . When I met with my BI her SGT was accepting unoffical transcipts

[danny1]

Ahh! There would be no way they would let me slide with 57 credits by the beginning of the Academy?

Funny you mentioned this. I was talking to a lady at the APD today and she told me that for the Medical you do need your transcript, BUT it doesnt have to be the offical copy, just as long as the copy you bring them shows your credits and classes you've taken thus far.

[jrm1313]

Thanks for info, I can't find my embossed Birth Certificate either.:confused: I moved three years ago and never needed it. I don't think. I found my wife's and kids all together but mine? I'm thinking I gave it in becoming NYS EMT? or County Fire Fighter? I don't know:confused: Killing me trying to find it. Tearing my place up and down. NO Luck. Well, I'll see what they say.:) I really want this to happen. Hope they will be having a good morning to pass on to me. I try on my end. Gotta be there at 6:30AM. Thanks again and Good nightZZZZZzzzzzzzz.

[Marxdaman29]

Ahh! There would be no way they would let me slide with 57 credits by the beginning of the Academy?

No they will not let you slide 3 short... I can show you how to get 3 credits faster than you can blink your eyes at www.fema.gov If you want to know about it let me know..

[JayBe88]

I dont have 45 credits yet. So that means I cant even start my medical background none of that until I have 45 because I should be done with all 60 in June. I thought you can go through the process without having the total credits and they will just hold you back on that part but not even let you do the medical and background. I think I was told different because I was told you can start everything without having credits.

[danny1]

I just called up and got a list number of 259. How am I looking for July?

I'm in line for Exam #8000 (I think)

[jrm1313]

They ask for nothing at the Medical. Unreal and I went crazy:p Everything went well and passed the Medical and have the Pysch. written tomorrow and scheduled on Monday for my agility in Staten Island. They weren't kidding when they say you move along. I am right to say that it is not a pass or fail on the Pysch but only used to work off of for the Oral Exam. " Why did you answer this, by saying..." I was expecting to get my leg shaved today? Poor turn out. I was really amazed and disappointed. It made me think what's going on here? I could count on my hands the turn out. I was expecting to be standing in line outside. Something else must be going on besides the pay. I don't know maybe people just can't live off the salary? Good thing my wife works too. All the single guys and girls. Get yourself a girl/guy with a good job till the first year is over.(kidding, maybe) Is it the politics, getting sued? I was there and stepped up, so I'm happy and feel better that the first step is over. Bring it on!

No they will not let you slide 3 short... I can show you how to get 3 credits faster than you can blink your eyes at www.fema.gov If you want to know about it let me know..

Best thing out there. I have 27 paid credits from them. Print out or view the "Application for College Credits" as not all of the Fema courses apply to College credit or Accredited credit. I guess some courses are for internal use and some are still up to complete but have been taken off the list or for whatever reason. As I had complete a few that were not on the list. Just a very useful heads up and courses do get taken down as they are slowly changing the formats from when I first started taking them in 2005 when they were one document and were searchable. So no time like the present. If your only three short Danny1 you can do three in a week or one a day. Some only have 25 questions. Make sure you check the list and that it is worth at least 1.0CEU. Print the Application for College Credits fill in and submit form via fax and you should have a transcript to show within the tail end of 4 weeks. You would be golden.

I was by the Queens Criminal Court getting a Disposition and saw the news people there for the most recent case in the news. Alot of security outdoors today! The family was outside talking to the news and there were more Officers than people for sure. I'm 6'1 and 230lbs. I'll tell ya, there are some big boys working in that Court House. I do not look up too often. Plenty of big 6'2's and up. It seemed like only the women were short. I mean the women were big as well and I don't mean fat. On the 2005 list for Court Officer. They never retire! That has to be the slowest process. If they call I'll worry then. I'm more than happy with being accepted to the NYPD and would be very proud to join the ranks!

Hey John2008,

Did you have to get a Department of Finace Printout or know exactly what they want. I was all over their website and I couldn't find anything in terms of a printout. APD's paper reading bring following items #18. "Department of Finace Printout If Parking Violations Received" Does that mean there is a printout of every Parking ticket fixed to your name? Can anyone shine a light on this. It a little dark to me. Running on 2 hours sleep and all day at the Medical. Can't wait to crash tonight!

I think you're only suppose to get that if you have ever had any parking tickets. I never had any parking tickets so I don't know, it's hard to get a parking ticket in Suffolk county.

After a few visits you'll learn their train of thought to cruise through their website. Every website seems to have tis own train of thought or concept of route through the rabbit holes. http://training.fema.gov/IS/ click on the ISP Course List link in the red section and dig in. It is what it is. Download the material/course and read and answer. Print out the FINAL questions so you can look as you read. TIP: Most of the courses run in unison with the questions. I say 90% that I've taken. Good luck with that and hope to see you at the academy.

I used to get hit sometimes three times a month in Manhattan parking my motorcycle. Sometimes nothing. Motorcycles are easy targets in Manhattan for tickets. You park at a meter, a car parks behind you. They always gave the car the benifit and thinking I squeezed in. or they hit both! How do you fight that. Take hours from payrate to go fight it? They bank that your not showing up! Or if your having a good week and money is good you just pay it. Its been some time since I got one. I guess I'll figure it out one way or another.
