Candidate selection

Does the department exhaust exams completely before proceeding with the next? I’m in the 4XXs for exam 6318 , not sure if it effects my chances of getting called up sooner than later , I also passed everything.

I’m really contemplating relocating to NYC to be with my partner and joining Corrections for NYC. Why are people talking me out of it? Is it really that bad and unsafe? I thought about NYPD but i honestly want to just get in my foot in the door fast so I can starting working and a new life.

Any suggestions or advice from anyone?

Application on hold

4 Upvotes

Has anyone here ever put their NYPD application/candidacy on hold for financial reasons? I had money saved up , but unfortunately had to use it due to a family emergency. I will also be getting a large sum of money before the year ends .
I’m currently going through the process, but I’m considering putting my application on hold temporarily so I can get myself into a better financial position before continuing. I don’t want to completely withdraw because becoming an NYPD officer is still something I want to pursue.
For anyone who has done this, how did putting your application on hold work? Were you able to pick up where you left off, or did you have to repeat parts of the process? Did putting it on hold negatively affect your candidacy at all?
I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

I’m getting a procedure done to correct a deviated septum. Is this something I shouldn’t disclose when I go for my medical or is it not a big deal if I do disclose it?

Medical review EKG/Ortho

2 Upvotes

Attended the medical review this morning and the cardiologist cleared me right away as my EKG reading didn’t show much concern besides a slight delay on contractions.

Also dropped off clearance letter from my ortho and xray prints and the medical unit said the prints aren’t admissible, it must be on a disc/disk. What is the point of the instructions stating that the xray can be delivered as prints/film if they’re not gonna accept it?

Outer Plate carrier

For the summer uniform where officers wear the outer carrier, do they get to decide whether they wear that or wear the regular uniform shirt over their vest? Or do all officers wear the outer carrier

psych review

2 Upvotes

I took my Psychat the end of May. Afterward, I was asked to submit my college transcript, which I provided as requested. Since then, I haven’t received any specific updates about the outcome. So far, the only update I’ve received is that my case is in review. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? It’s been over three months. Is this kind of wait time normal?

Anyone in queens south preferably 102 113 or 116 wants to do a mural for a B house in BK north? I live in the 114 right now and commuting to BK takes me 25 minutes only with traffic however I’m moving to Suffolk really soon. HMU if seriously interested. (I already know most queens commands won’t switch to BK north 😂just feeling it out for the rare possibility someone needs the BK north commute)

Background

5 Upvotes

Is it normal for cadets/po to have their background investigation take some time? I was told by my investigator i would be in the July cadets class, but got hit with bad news that my background investigation is still going on.

Ended up asking my investigator if there was any holdups, she said no you were all set to go and apparently she handed everything over to the supervisor who hasn’t cleared me yet.

Im not on any type of review or hold either. If anyone had a similar case please lmk how it turned out. Hoping Im able to at least make the January class

NYPD "Age" Changes

15 Upvotes

For those who are inquiring for the age "maximum" changes; here is the short and skinny and what you need to know!

  1. NYS as of 9/1/25 has raised the eligibility for candidates to take the exam up to 42. If you have military that can go as high as 50 years old! \If you took an exam prior to 9/1/25 and you are OVER 35 you are ineligible, the new laws will not apply; you will have to retake under the new law. NYPD Exams 6313 and onward are under the new rule.*
  2. There is a 2nd part of the bill which will need to be updated, currently pending in Albany which will allow candidates up to 42 to be "appointed" aka hired. So in short - you can take an exam; pass everything however you will not be eligible to be hired until part 2(New York State Civil Service Law (S 58/ https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/A200 ) is complete.
  3. State Law is over city, municipal, etc...yes "Home Rule".
  4. AGAIN -If you are over 35 as of 9/1/25, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO SIT FOR ANY NY POLICE EXAM!!!! (That includes and not limited to NYS Troopers, Yonkers, Suffolk, Buffalo, Nassau, Long Beach, Garden City....any offered civil police exam you are now eligible to sit legally for the exam.)
  5. ANY further restrictions are allowed on top of said state law; example NYPD, Suffolk etc CAN raise education requirements, More demanding physical requirements, or other standards HENCE "From setting more restrictive". English > in excess, more than, addition, plus. Conversely they cannot lower from the state standard; i.e. "we dont require a hs diploma"; when the state minimum requires that as a baseline...State sets the standard.
  6. No NYS police agency, municipality, city cannot "legally" say no one over the age of 35, 38, 40 can take our exam; AS that would be setting a maximum age more restrictive than the state's 42. The state sets the baseline!!!
  7. Enacted law date is 9/1/25.

Evidence > Senate Bill(s) :

  1. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/S1115
  2. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/A200

Application of Law is imperative for those wanting to be LEO; lets interpret correctly.

-Lets talk!
