Hopefully this academy will begin in December.

I heard that they are trying to push more people into the fall academy that went this past September for processing.. a girl that I know said today that she got a call saying they are pushing her stuff forward for this next class...

What the hell does this mean?

[jaguarshark]

TripleH92 The September processing was up to the rank of 4xxx, only 3 months after the last processing. They used to process twice a year and put thru 2 classes per year. I am asking if anyone knows if this pattern of having processing weekends every 3 months is going to hold up. I also want to know if this means there will be 4 classes per year.

The Academy is 7 months long and there is 1 physical building where it takes place. This building, the NYSP Academy, can only physically hold 200-something recruits. Yes, they did try a simultaneous/overlapping class, but it was hell on Administration, Academy staff and the recruits themselves and will likely never happen again.

So that's a long winded way of saying that there will never be more than 2 classes per year. They process recruits when they feel they need a number of people eligible. If a previous processing comes up short, (DQs or such) they'll run another processing. It's really not some grandiose well-timed plan.

Yeah I know, you could possibly be looking at another year or so man if I’m not mistaken.

I really hope thats true!

What the hell does this mean?

To elaborate. Everyone that went through June processing should be getting they're medical paper for the 208th Class that starts either Dec or Jan.

but..... there are some people such as myself that processed this Sept for the 209th class that starts late 2019. Some of us including myself have low rank number and were emailed this week by HR. They asked us if we would like to join 208th class or 209th. I myself chose the 208th class. They are doing this because they do not have a full roster yet.

The email does point out that the academy for the 208th class starts January, so not sure where everyone is getting December from.

Why didnt you process the first time? With that low rank you should have.

[Cruelfate]

I had to defer because of Military obligation.

[Tommy_V]

That's cool man thank you for your service Cruelfate
I wonder if they are having a hard time filling classes with each pull. Unemployment rates are at 50 year lows after all.

[TripleH92]

Finally after much anticipation.. got my invite !!! 8am! see you guys there !!

[Northjersey]

Congrats bro, I knew you were gunna get it same time as me!!

[Coleguy7]

Nothing for at all guys! Looks like I'll be possibly another class! I scored well, passed everything and had smooth background investigation with a low rank number ! No DQ letter, but maybe for next class I hope!

[NyNarc]

As of the 10th I don’t think they were all sent out yet.

There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin' Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em...

[dutchessNY89]

Jan 13th is the start. Good luck. Start training.

[Jay9]

Starting on a Tuesday? Doesn’t sound legit.

[dutchessNY89]

Whatever that Sunday is. The 13th then, that's what we've heard. Train hard and best of luck.

[Jay9]
