Whats the oldest you can be for this position?

I also think they are considering a ban on people born, from, or associated with nyc. Just saying.

So, the processing weekend, with the PT test etc. would be in April? Or earlier than that?

Again....all of this is just rough guestimates....but I took the initial PT test June 2016 with a rank of 98xx...I believe there was another PT test around early October.

There's likely a plenty applicants left over from the June '16 processing weekend and ALL of the crew from the Oct first processing weekend to fill the upcoming May/June class.

I would presume if you didn't PT test & initial process yet, you wont be attending the academy in 2017. The May class should graduate right around Christmas 2017, so the next academy could be early January 2018. That class would likely be filled with the tail end of those who took the PT test on Oct 1st and possibly any future processings between now and then.

Edited for clarity and grammar.

I'll be 30 in September , ranked 13,2XX, is "application deadline" taking the exam? If not I'm pretty much a passover.

"Must not have reached their 30th birthday by the date of the application deadline, once applications become available. Except the maximum age may be extended one year for each year of full-time active military duty - up to a maximum of 6 years."

A recruiter could tell you for sure, but I believe it's when you applied and took the test. It would read you must be appointed before 30 if they were referring to when you were hired and assigned to the academy. You should be solid.

Guys,

I may be reading it incorrectly myself but, I read it as you cannot be older than 30 at the time the application is due. The website states "Must not have reached their 30th birthday by the date of the application deadline". Therefore, if you are over 30 years old by that date, you would be ineligible for appointment. To become a trooper, you cannot be over the age of 36 per the website which reads, "Must be appointed prior to 36^th birthday". To sum it up, you cannot be over 30 to take the exam and must be appointed prior to turning 36.

Most of us born in the late 80s will have had taken the first exam in 2008 that had the hiring freeze, I'd say we got jipped!

[StanleyVega]

Damn you guys are old!!

Haha you joined in 2006 bro, you're older than all of us kids

[JayDog]

Given my age now, I have until this list expires to be appointed otherwise, I have no shot. If another exam is in fact happening at the end of this year, I will be too old to take it. Fingers crossed something works out!!
