Tbta 2065

[jmoy]

Hi, Does anyone here have any updated information regarding the TBTA exam 2065 for BTO. It's taking forever. Are they on a hiring freeze? Last I checked with DCAS they are at 799 but it's been like that for a few months now. Thanks.

[RomanArts]

hey Jmoy last i heard thats dcas is not really correct either but i dont even know to be honest with you i am also waiting for the job wat list number are u?

[jmoy]

Hey Roman, I'm in the 1000 - 1010 range. Do you know if there is a class in progress now? I have been checking DCAS like every other month and the number hasn't changed since last year. What is your list number? I hope they hire more before the list expires in 07. Thanks for the reply. Also does any one know what the PT requirements are for TBTA? Is there a 1.5 mile run, push ups, sit ups, etc... etc.... Thanks in advance.

jmoy i am higher up there in the early 1400's havent heard about any classes i did my year as a temp and got to know a lot of people that work there, as far as pt i heard its really nothing and the academy there is no pt you more of a classroom atmosphere, pretty much the penal code the fire training the toll collecting and the firearms. As far as i know there should be more classes a lot of bto's are retiring and there are sergeant and leutenant exams coming in the near future

Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority. They are part of the MTA but are not MTA Police. They patrol and collect revenues on MTA Bridges and Tunnels in NYC. Triborough, Verrazzano Bridge, Midtown Tunnel, Marine Park Bridge, Battery Tunnel, etc. etc. They are armed peace officers.

[VACOP1]

[jmoy]

[VACOP1]

you have to be 18 to apply, then you cannot carry a gun. I NY you have to be atleast 21.

[RomanArts]

Actually even though you are 18, you still do carry your gun like any other officer upon completion of academy and and your probationary period which is a total of 6 months from the date of hire. I was working with a kid that was 19 years old and he was carrying.

[jmoy]

Finally got my orientation letter. Anyone know what I should be expecting that day? It will be 4 hours long. Will I be going through a physical, drugtest, and psych on the same day? or is it just a bunch of paperwork? The package didn't give much details. Thanks for any info.

[RomanArts]

Hey Jmoy Whats up its Roman again. I've got a couple of questions for you if u can please respond to me.

[ChrisF202]

I thaught you had to be 20 to be a cop in NYS?

See here on Suffolk Sheriff website for Deputy Sheriff I:
http://www.co.suffolk.ny.us/webtemp3...ept=36&id=1941

[jmscat14]

Hey Jmoy, did u hear anything yet on the BTO.I finished all the testing, I haven't heard anything yet. My list number is between 950 and 1000. I heard that the next class is going to be in Oct but when.

[Dinosaur32]

Chris....What you quoted is the department's policy. we have Court Officer Trainees carrying who are not yet 21 and graduated the Academy at 20.

[RomanArts]

Party people party people... well I was just browsing on the DCAs website and i see that there is another test for tbta officers on may 17, 2007 which means this list is coming to an end. Lets see what happends now.

[salc0025]

TBTA officers are now Police Officers and not peace officers. A few years ago they passed a bill in NY that changed their status from Peace Officers to Police Officers. its pretty much the same bill that is trying to get passed to give NYC Correction Offices Police Officer status rather then their current Peace Officer status.

[Dinosaur32]

Sorry salc0025, but TBTA Officers are still classified as Peace Officers. See Criminal Procedure Law, Section 2.10 (20).

[Jayc6018]

Ok so TBTA officers can't execute warrants the job function of peace officers and police officers are pretty much the same.

[Dinosaur32]

Jayc6018.......pretty much that is the difference between Peace and Police Officers, especially the larger uniformed agencies.

[RomanArts]

Finally got my envelope from TBTA its been 4 years of waiting around, hoping i can pass all of that background and stuff, I have 3 moving violations in past 6 years, 2 were in like 2000 and this last one i was this march but non of them are speeding. Any advice or suggestions.
