From Troop D as well, have not received any information regarding orientation for the Oct 23rd report date.

Trust me, I know. One week left to enjoy the solitude of my car. Then 10 weeks of FTO...

Quick question to those on the job,

I DO NOT have my pistol permit. I am however allowed to register up to 2 guns with my department. I currently have only 1 registered and I am required to be "qualified" with this gun which was simply submitting a form and then qualifying at the range.

Is this policy similar to the NYSP? Is this something that they will address when I am processed? I am considering transfering my firearm to my wife since she has her permit to make things easier, not sure if that's necessary though.

I did submit my pistol paperwork 2 months ago but unfortunately I don't have the connections to make things go faster, my county average processing is 9-12 months.

Any advise?

Is it a sedan or SUV?

I would just transfer the pistols to your wife until you graduate mainly because that's the easiest. NYSP only requires that you tell division what pistols you acquire on your shield.

Most car manufacturers that tint rear windows use 18-25%, leaving you with 75% transmittance, obviously if you get it done professionally above and beyond that than you'd be in violation of V&T law.

Not sure if NYSP Academy offers it as well, but I went through Zone 5 and we received little binders with Penal Law Codes and V&T laws, great bathroom reading material!!

Hey, any thoughts on brining a rain jacket for arriving at the academy if raining? Or do you think we'll just have to stand in rain. If raining.

[nate3234]

Shows clear and 55° just wanted to ask

[UpstateRam]

Wanted to wish all of the men and women starting the 205th on Sunday the best of luck!

Anyone from the June processing hear anything whatsoever?

[ExtraRely]

Anybody know the timeline for when polygraphs and BI usually begin? Had my psych about 2 weeks ago and was told my info was being forwarded on. Haven't heard anything else. Hate being patient lol.
