Great positive outlook on when you will be in the Academy. Lets hope things progress that quickly for you. I got a 98 and am still waiting my turn.

I hear that, I scored just under 97 and I havent heard a peep since the psych inerview. Hopefully I havent been dqed.

Those who have been DQ'd get notified of that, so I wouldn't worry about that.

97 is a very good score. What was your ranking? Have you moved? Keep the SP informed of the current contact information?

Contact your recruiter if you have questions.

Don't worry I and others on this board are in the same boat. We have not heard anything since the psych.

[Blitzfitz2150]

Yeah Hope4 theres several of us in the same boat. If what SDT says is right [ which everything so far has been so no reason to doubt ] no news seems to be good news.

When you think about it it would be pretty logical that they'd make an evaluation pretty quickly after a psych interview. They wouldn't wait 8 months and then ask the doc what he thinks about you.

Thats too long to recall one interviewee far less hundreds. That's just my logic, I'm a candidate just like you so don't take my word as a guarantee.

I made it past the medical exam, my number wasn't reached for appointment this last class. Yeah like SDT said, if you were dq'd they would have told you by now.

[Hope4Badge50]

What are you guys ranked on the exam list?

Hey they might be holding out for the extension of the tier 2 retirement plan. You dont want to be hired as a temp tier 3 than put into tier 5. You are better off waiting, im a city cop at tier 2, and I wouldnt leave the city if everyone went to Tier 5, however if everyone went to Tier 2 again I would be jumping ship to the troopers quicker than you can say goodbye.

From what I've read, they've processed up to about 2300. I am currently ranked less than 3000, so based on the fact that they normally invite 1,000 candidates to process for a class size of 100, I should be called for the next round. Here's to hoping that processing weekend happens late 2009 or early 2010

P.S. Thanks to all of you that have served.

This is creating a strange system (er, non-system) right now. Someone hired after July 1 has no tier to go into. The Tier 2 authorization expires, and Tier 5 does not yet exist. I don't know What tier they would be in.

Do you know of some reason that they would automatically go into Tier 3?

I still dont understand the tier systems.... but then again I'm special

As of right now Tier 5 does not exist, that is what the debate is. Bloomberg and Patterson both want to create a Tier 5. Normally Police and Fire fall under Tier 2 since 1981. Since Patterson vetoed the extension, everyone hired after July 1 is in Limbo. So they would fall into Tier 3 (considered temporoary) status until either A. The extension is passed or B. Tier 5 or some other Tier level is approved for Police and Fire unions. Which we all know Tier 5 is bad for everyone. So what im hoping is that the extension gets approved so that I can go to the best agency in the country... *cough *cough NYS Troopers *cough ...


and Thank you to the trooper who got me on the northern state Pkwy 2 days ago on my way home from work and than took 45mins of his time to tell me about being a trooper and the daily life of a trooper (not just in L troop). Being a cop I can honestly say you guys are the most professional and courteous law enforcement I have ever dealt with!

Damn we're in the same boat. Definitely hoping for a late 2009 processing.

[Code21]

I know nobody knows for sure, but does anyone have an educated guess as to what number they may reach before the next testing cycle?

[thefirm5]

If I were to put money on it I would guess there won't be a processing before year end. Again none of us know anything near definite, however they did have a processing weekend in March, and there are guys left over from processing in September that haven't even started with BI, and none of us have been invited to an academy class as of yet.

Since you are established in Tier 2 now, you would continue to be in Tier 2, even if you changed to the Troopers after Tier 5 is created.
