Anyone in the Hamburg area going to the processing weekend in March?

[Ohkeo]

I Live in Orchard Park, & going to meet with Troop A Recruiters tomorrow to see if my Tattoo is within Policy.. if not I may get it removed so I’ll prob be going

[Trdfan81]

Wondering if anyone can answer... I am a dual citizen. My degree is from Canada do my credits count when I bring transcripts to processing? Thx

[jaguarshark]

Call your nearest recruiter.

Does anyone know if they conduct the Physical Ability Test 2x each year? Yesterday they sent an email notifying candidates of further processing in early March 2019. Is it safe to assume that the next email will come sometime in July to notify the next batch of candidates for the PAT for late September 2019 or does it depend on the budget to get classes through? I guess i'm trying to figure out if they do the PAT on specific weekends during September and March each year or is it random? Thanks for any help!

[jaguarshark]

There is no schedule of events and there is no set timetable. There is no safety in assuming anything State Police does. It depends on budget, hiring goals, and ultimately the desires of the Governor.

Hey everyone. I know that there has been some mention of people who were fully processed (Processing weekend, PAT, written psych, oral psych, BI, polygraph) and were also present at the second medical 12/15. I'm in the same boat - finished processing and was at the medical / uniform fitting. Was hoping to receive a backfill number, but I quickly realized my number (27xx) was way out of reach for this class.

Are we going to be told how we look / if our numbers line up for the next class scheduled for July? Does being fully processed mean that we are cleared as long as nothing else happens (for example get a ticket in next few months).

I know nothing is guaranteed or can be guaranteed until budget from state is passed and all of those other small factors, but for people who have previously gone through this, is it just a waiting game? Will we be contacted soon ? or not until it gets closer to the next class.

Was also wondering what list numbers the people who received a backfill number were around. Thanks.

I definitely would not hold my breath. That ship has likely sailed at this point.

[Endeavor22]

Yea I figured as much. I called Friday and was told I have until tomorrow. Not likely I assume

Hey everyone !!
My background check was due January 4th and everything has been sent to albany does anyone have any idea when we would hear back or get medical invites?

[cruz21105]

I received a letter on Friday stating that my list number was not reached for the Jan 2019 class but, that I would be consider for the summer 2019 class. That my investigator would be in touch with me to up date my background investigation. Good luck all...

[Rosy91]

what rank # are you?

[Squez818]

I got that same letter yesterday. It looks like we’re going to have to go up there again for another medical exam as the summer approaches. My rank is 25xx.

[cruz21105]

My list number is also in the 25XX range. Yeah another ride to Albany. Stay healthy and good luck.

Anyone on the job with state police able to possibly private message me? I’m going to be starting the process soon, and still undecided, currently work with State Corrections and I really don’t mind it..

[NYCopper]

You can message me if you have specific questions. There are always several correctional officers in each academy...many people make the switch due to the fairly significant salary difference (among other things).

[NTTrooper]

Feel free to message me if you have questions.

[ES_troop21]

I have a question, so I went to an eye doctor and they told me my right eye is 20/20 but my left eye is 20/25 does anyone know if that’s a bad thing or if that would be something they could disqualify me for? Thank you.

[ES_troop21]

Not sure but under the requirements is says 20/20 so I’m not sure if 20/25 good enough to not get disqualified. I won’t know what other people that’s already on the job has.

[jaguarshark]

They'll test you at processing. You need *corrected* vision of 20/20, meaning if you can't muster passing 20/20 vision without eyeglasses, you'll have to get a pair. You won't get DQ'd unless you have 20/100 vision uncorrected, can't get glasses to fix it, or are color blind. The short answer is: no, I wouldn't worry about having 1 eye with 20/25.

[ES_troop21]

Thank you so much I appreciate the answer it makes more sense I was just worried but maybe I will let them decide what I need to do and then go from there.

[ES_troop21]

I don’t think prescription glasses are allowed on the job. That’s why I was thinking of getting laser on my left eye but I’m going to wait to see what they say.

[Squez818]

It has to be worse than 20/100. I barely passed with 20/100 uncorrected. When I went through processing I wore my glasses. Someone wearing their contacts had to take them out so don’t wear them when you go.

[845Trooper]

What rank do you guys think they will reach by the end of the year ?

[ES_troop21]

I received the letter of invitation to the pt test in the mail today did anyone else get theirs today?

[Rosy91]

Yea I did as well

[Abram0710]

Yes.........

[SigSauer9]

Received my packet today as well.
