Nypd: To join just be confident.

[hollowman]

I taught it was the end for me, Real brief this was my situation before thinking about the NYPD.

License got suspended 4 years ago three times, two were related: unpaid ticket and didn't
appear for court. The other one was just for an unpaid ticket both were do to red lights. Boom
thats that for the license.

Criminal record: 3 years ago i got into a fight in the streets which I wasn't
able to avoid and got charged with assault 3 saw a judge told me take anger management for 30
days, then it was dropped. Bam Thats that for criminal record.

Now is 2008 everything is going well, I'm going for the Jan. 2009 class
I put this thread on because theres people out there Like myself, I listened to other people telling me I have no chance for NYPD, and let me tell you as long as you come to the table with records straight off the bat for example, dmv record, criminal record and explain your mistakes you'll be fine. Just show them you are well aware Of whats going on in your life.

For example, My dmv record: I went at the beginning of the year and took a driving defense class. It shows your Interest of cleaning up your act. Before I even met with BI I had already my criminal record and dmv record, even though they still going to check on their own. When they get their records back and see it matches what you brought them it just looks good on your part.

well again hope is big and confidence as well...

Hope to see all of you in the 2009 class...Oh yeah forgot to mention my credit score is bad , still got in but had a credit report and started taking care it, again just show them you are fully aware of your life.

Did you enjoy central booking?

[hollowman]

Nah never went to central booking ...but I was detained

[MP_Steve]

I wondered how long it would be before someone came on here with a criminal past to get hired as an LEO. (although your history isn't that extensive).

Get that Verified tag and then I'll believe it. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately buddy, the NYPD hires most anything.

[smcc360]

There once was a first-rate PD,
In the city they call NYC,
But then Bloomie and Popeye,
Created a pigsty,
Now that job's as dead as can be.

Hollowman, I can truly say that you are the future of the NYPD. 'Bam', indeed.

Congratulations, I suppose.

[Wanabe]

Congrats on so far being succsesfull, but dont get to ahead of yourself. Even a perfect candidate can get caught up in some paper work BS at the last minute and not get hired for a couple of years or ever. Now judging from your past you arent a perfect candidate. All it takes it someone to put you on hold or review because of your past arrest or suspensions. When it comes to nypd it doesnt really matter what your BI says she can say you are the best candidate in the world but it doesnt mean much until you are signed off by everyone above her. I am not saying you arent good to go or you are not in. I dont even know how far along on the process you are. I am just saying dont get ahead of yourself until you are at queens college getting sworn in, this goes for everyone joining NYPD.

1 misd collar that was pled to an ACD/anger management is NOTHING for what the NYPD is currently hiring.

Just goes to show you how low the job has gone to get applicants. 28 years ago when I came on you would have been DQ'd for just one of the suspensions. You might be a great guy and have mended your ways, time will tell and luckily for me, I won't have to work with you.

They don't care that new cops cannot spell?

[Joeyd6]

Lets get a few facts straight right now:

1) YOU HAVE NOT BEEN HIRED!

2) YOU HAVE ONLY APPLIED!

3) Please come back after your oral psych and let us all know the outcome.


If you even think just because your BI hasn't said anything mean your getting hired, you are sadly mistaken! The BI does not make that decision. Only after you pass the med, pass the psych and pass the agility does the BI finish getting the paperwork together. They then turn it over to a hiring panel of Sergeants and Lt's who review everything. If the oral psych does not flag you and DQ you first, which it looks like it will, then you still have the review board to get by.

A monkey could apply to the NYPD and get through the process, doesn't mean he will get hired.

Apparently they don't check for spelling either :D
"I taught I saw a putty cat!"

[Nolo]

Guys guess what?

There is plenty of "good" persons/candidates who want to join the NYPD.

I hope to be hired. I have no criminal record, no skeleton in the closet, Engineering degree...I could do a better paying job(I am better paid right now high 50's) but that is what I want to do.

Some people in this forum mentioned it: you do not do it for the money (especially with the NYPD), and sometimes you are not even sure why you want to do it... :confused:
I like the post saying "it is inside me":eek:. That is the way I feel on top of other PC reasons like helping others, giving back, etc...

My point is maybe there are some people getting inside the NYPD who are not the best candidates, but I do believe that the "natural selection" will "extinct" them quickly enough.:D

I am not sure what should be the PD's level of tolerance for previous mistakes so I would not comment on that...I would just agree with Joey: it is not because you applied that you will get in....so let's wait on see.

One thing for sure, a post bashing the NYPD is not constructive and would probably drive away good candidates so if you feel like it is going down, you should help it to find back its former self!

PS: I am starting the process on august 21 (med) and I will be pleased to prove you wrong:D

Who do you think is the officers that are doing the risky work, for example the narcs you think you think they want somebody perfect They want somebody with street knowledge and a pair of balls not some graduate from Harvard.

This forum was for people with similar situations like mine and get discourage for listening to people that don't know what there talking about. Bam

Listen guys I know some of you are mad that you couldn't get in the NYPD but don't be here and sabotage others with your bitterness. Pow.

AND STOOOAAAAPP HATING.....typical any ways where I come from.....

Good luck to all hopeful near future recruits....
