New York State Police

Curious as to what law books are used in the academy. Can they be purchased somewhere online?

[Buffalo_17]

Most likely NYS Penal/Criminal Procedural law and NYS V&T law book. You can buy them online, make sure to get the 2020 version. You can also buy a condensed guide to go with both the penal and V&t book which helps you to understand it better.

[jaguarshark]

We use the NY State Penal Law and Vehicle & Traffic Law books published by Looseleaf Law. The Academy gives you a copy in case you're wondering.

Rumor has it that final medical will be in early to mid march! I hope that is true, if so, letters could be sent out in the coming weeks.

[845Trooper]

Medical or processed weekend you’re referring too ?

[Coleguy7]

845Trooper I'm talking about final medical. I have no clue or no word on another processing weekend, haven't heard anything as of yet

Rumors are dangerous... what’s the source of that one?

[Coleguy7]

Yeah I know they are. I won't directly say my source but I'm feeling hopeful and confident for us all. That's all I'm doing, keeping hope alive, keeping good spirits for both myself and many others because this is a long process that feels never ending.

[Bryguyny94]

thanks for this! Would your source also happen to know if a regular, full-sized class is anticipated? My greatest fear is that they’ll cut the amount of candidates going in to make room for future Park Police transfers. Thoughts?

[Harleyriders]

Hopefully it's a full size. Rank 49XX.

[Coleguy7]

Bryguyny94 I'm really hoping it would be a full size and my fingers are crossed that I make it in like many people said I should because of my rank number and that I processed almost 2 years ago and redid it all. We really never know until we know. Also I don't think the parks police merge will directly hinder this next class going in..just a thought. I also heard that the budget for next class is in "good standing" whatever that may mean.

For those of you that are currently in or have recently graduated the academy, what was the hardest/worst part for you? Conversely, what was the best?

[jaguarshark]

The hardest part is probably living in an uncomfortable cave away from home Sun to Fri.

[Harleyriders]

Just checked my USPS informed delivery for today. Getting a letter from NYSP. Hopefully it’s the medical invite! At work until 4 so I won’t be able to check it. Anyone else on the informed delivery from USPS getting the letter today?

[ascaldwell]

[jas14]

Which processing did you go to?

[Coleguy7]

This is awesome.....looks like my source is correct congrats everyone on getting invites for medical. I'm headed home now to see if I have one in my mail too. I'm really hoping.

[Coleguy7]

Nothing in the mail for me yet. I'll wait until wed/Thursday. Or maybe mail man didn't come yet. I'll keep Yous updated! Mainly mail comes at 4-5pm where I live.

[Harleyriders]

What rank are you. Might be a day or two late..

[Coleguy7]

Harleyriders I am rank number 15XX

[Harleyriders]

Wow. You should definitely get it then..

[Coleguy7]

Harleyriders yes I would like to think so. I am getting nervous though because someone on here from buffalo got a letter. 4-5pm today can't come quick enough! I am in Buffalo as well. Haven't got a weird feeling in my stomach about something for a while haha

[Astone1287]

What rank are you guys that received a medical invite? Just trying to get an idea of how high they went up the list.
I’m 60xx so hoping they get to me

[Aesp24]

49xx and was in the last medical but my rank was not reached for the current class.

[Habs504]

Got mine 63xx

[jas14]

Habs504 what processing did you go to?

[Habs504]

jas14 May 2019 processing

[845Trooper]

Congrats to everyone who got their medical invite. I’m still waiting for my PAT invite

[Buffalo_17]

Just got the letter today. Let’s hope for the best guys. Hoping they reach into the 49XX’s

[jas14]

Which processing did you go to?

[Buffalo_17]

jas14 I was in the March 2019 processing

[jas14]

For people who received their letter today (10FEB2020) what was the date the letter was stamped by the post office?

[Harleyriders]

Friday Feb.07

[jas14]

Harleyriders which processing did you go to?

[Harleyriders]

Processed in March of 2019. Background was completed May 2019. Took the 1st medical summer 19’

[jg60]

Medical invite received. I’m rank 58xx so I think I may be cutting it close. I processed in march and didn’t get a medical invite for the class that’s in now. I think they reached ranks of up to 4800-5000 at the last medical according to this forum. Apparently troopers at that medical said there are about 140 from last medical that didn’t get in last class that will be ready for spring academy.

[rbh2350]

anyone receive a medical invite who has a higher rank in the 7xxxx?

[Harleyriders]

7000 seems out of reach

[GRNeye]

I received a medical invite. IM rank 74xx

[Harleyriders]

Awesome. Seems like it will definitely be a full class
