    Should have posted here first, Am I missing anything in this attempt?

    My son is in the initial process of hopefully being accepted into the NYPD academy in January. He is focused but I want to make sure that I am steering him in the right direction, can anyone suggest if I am missing anything I should tell him to do or he is doing now other than the following;

    Graduated with a 4 year Criminal Justice Degree, Magna *** Laude (excuse my spelling)
    Zero drug use in the past and present, including tobacco
    No criminal record, one speeding ticket 4 years ago
    Had a private medical exam done, all perfect
    Passed the written entrance exam already with a great score (lots of studying)
    Works out 4 days a week for years, lots of running
    Working with a strength trainer 2 days a week
    Downloaded the Physical Aptitude Test and has been practicing specific tasks
    Short hair, clean shaven, always wears a suit and tie for interviews
    Studying the Chain of Command for the NYPD
    On the NYPD website looking at advice to potential candidates daily, on the NYPD recruit blogs looking for feedback from other candidates
    Polishing his interview skills with current PO's
    Making sure he addresses all personnel yes sir (mam), no sir
    Clarifying WHY he wants to be a PO in his own head
    Shows up on time, where required with all the documents requested
    Told him no late nights or associating with ANYONE that might have a criminal record, be involved in criminal activity, be using drugs of any kind or alcohol.
    Has an apartment which will meet the residency requirments if hired (he will NOT use it as a mail drop, he will live there)
    Told him not to tell anyone that he is being considered until after he is hopefully hired
    Speaking to family members currently or retired from the PD
    Study every PD manual he can find related to the NYPD
    Currently working in the court as a court officer
    Is 22 years old
    References includes 2 Police Officers, a Judge, College Professor (retired FBI)

    Supporting him every way possible but ultimately it is his efforts that will make the difference.

    This a duplicate thread. I'll let the other one alone but close this one. Please don't post the same question in multiple areas.
