Anybody hearing anything about a potential academy?

[dutchessNY89]

Haven't heard anything. It's been quiet.

[Nhayes91]

Can anyone OTJ advise if it is difficult to get into Troop L, or a timeline from graduation for the wait to get there? Is a "hook" required? Current OTJ NYPD and unsure about switching, I would like to work on Long Island within a couple years.

[jaguarshark]

You can get to Troop L in 2-3 years, but you can get to Troop NYC immediately. The last class forced dozens of recruits to go there, whether they wanted it or not. There are no hooks.

It took guys from my class 7 years to get to L.

[leo1112]

My preferences in order

nyc
L
f/k

[reils49]

Why don't you take the NYPD test? Life is going to be rough when you end up in Plattsburgh.

[Charger16]

Does anyone know anything about the next academy? I think I read something online that they do the medical exam a month prior to the academy class?

[dutchessNY89]

I heard the same thing from mine. He sent my packet up to Albany about three weeks ago. But has been in contact with me this week asking a few more questions. Haven't heard anything else.

[jaguarshark]

The current class is due to graduate 1/31/18. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything earlier than late Feb 2018.

[dutchessNY89]

If the grades come out sooner then anticipated, we will have to start from scratch though.

[jaguarshark]

this is true

[Charger16]

Another question if you guys may or may not know the answer..do you get a letter of acceptance before the medical exam? Or do you go through the medical exam and wait to get a letter of acceptance/decline

[leo1112]

I believe after you pass medical you get invite. At medical you get fitted for uniforms and shown around

Another question if you guys may or may not know the answer..do you get a letter of acceptance before the medical exam? Or do you go through the medical exam and wait to get a letter of acceptance/decline? I know they have to get legislation to pass a budget too at some point and figure out how many people are going to be in this upcoming academy. So many leading factors! The anticipation of over 3 almost 4 years to possibly get this opportunity before they start the new list is tense.

[Charger16]

Okay thank you for clarifying!

If the next academy is really February I don't know if the candidates from the next test will have completed the fit test psych evaluations and background investigations. The new scores would have to be out very quick to get all of that done by feb

[my93rx7tt]

I believe the results weren't out until January/ February when they gave the last test in 2013. First academy off that test was in August of 14.

And I believe there was only one test date if I remember correctly? This October there will be three. So I'd assume grades would be out first week of March (assuming).

I hope that that would mean that we would have a shot still.

Anyone have anymore information that they've heard?
