Depends upon the state and often the departments.

If the transfer is to NYPD, what city is it from?

[bronevaya]

birmingham alabama

You get nothing from the NYPD because you worked at any other police department. NYPD has no lateral program.

You will have to do the entire academy.

Also, to even get hired at the NYPD, you must live in NYC or the surrounding counties to get hired.

of course i would be living in the city, I was just wondering how smooth it would be to transfer

How could you be a Brimingham, Alabama cop, and be living in New York City?

And even if not, there is no transfer program. You apply and process like everyone else.

birmingham alabama

What precinct are you out of with BPD?

[bronevaya]

I am not in it, hopefully I will be going to the academy next month. I hope to be working in southside.


a lot of the birmingham city cops are leaving to higher paying neighboring cities and suburbs like homewood, vestavia, and hoover, thats why I was told I would have a good shot at being placed in southside.

well thats why there is a question of transferring, you know, I would move from here to there and then transfer. I am sorry, I dont know how to make it any more clearer.

Your not getting it. NYPD does not accept transfers. So you would have to leave your job there move to NY., get a regular job and then process like every other person. If and when hired, you have to go through the whole academy. There is no such as a lateral with then NYPD.

In my academy class there was a recruit who had 10+ years on with a department from NJ who was hired specifically for forensics. He went through the academy just like the rest of us despite the fact that he already had years of policing experience and was hired for a specific job function. Just the nature of the beast, we are the biggest city in America and have the largest metropolitan police department in the world. There are certain aspects of policing here that exist no where else (at least the department would like to think so) and as such everyone must attend our academy.

Hope this helps.
