A to Z Advice to the New NYPD Graduates

[maz]

Wow what a great post Joey! I usually don't go into other areas of the forum except Background Check section but this proves I should explore the forums more. Thanks so much for this post, its def worth more than anything I can explain. I get advice once in awhile from the senior officers but for the most part they wait until we respond to a hot call and then they say good job kid and then they tell you some advice. Thanks again Joey!

can we call these the rookie commandments?

Thank you Joey for the excellent post!

Thanks Joey.

I agree with maz that a lot of the rookies probably missed this because we didn't look in the right place. His link in the Background Check section should help.

I haven't even started the process of getting hired, but I made sure to print out this list and read it a few times. Not only do I know it will help on the job, but it also helped me to decide whether or not I was going to become a police officer. Thanks again Joey...

Sir,
This post is by all recounts, the best I have read in a long time. You are definitely a legend among Hero's.

I still sit in the front row at briefings. Traditionally the new/newer sworn personnel sit in the front rows. At the end of my career, I will still be in the front row because no matter how many years we do this job, something new always comes up.:D

Thank you! And I too am like you. A day does not go by I don't learn something new on this job.

+1 well said. I personally sit in the second row though because we have many P-1's at my division and the front row fills up quick :D

However I laugh at some other new P-2's like myself (new P-2 i.e LAPD speak for Ofcr who recently finished 1 yr probationary status) who can't wait to sit as far away from the front row as they can....ya know the "I got this down" type. :rolleyes:
