Anyone reading this forum right now that processed in September...you will not get a medical letter. I just E-Mailed member hiring and they told me I won't get an invitation to this 07MAR2020 medical because I processed in September which was for the Fall class. If any September processors actually do get an invitation please let me know.

Apparently rank doesn't matter now that we've all done a processing weekend, I'm 19XX.

Edit: Rank does still matter but from my understanding you are only competing with the other individuals in your processing weekend.

[ysfj2810]

I’d imagine the next class for September processing would be sometime early 2021, no?

Current class graduates mid March, new class starts April or May and graduates October/November? Then a month or two until the following class?

[jas14]

C_Dona89 did you receive an invitation to the 07MAR medical?

[jas14]

ysfj2810 September processors are supposed to be for a Fall 2020 academy. It'll be interesting to see after 07MAR how many fully qualified March/May 2019 processors are left to take the first slots in the Fall 2020 academy. If there are a bunch only the best test scores in the September processing would be taken for the Fall 2020 academy, the rest would be for a Spring 2021 academy. After Spring 2021 they anticipate that the "scheduled" OCT2020 exam will come into effect.

[C_Dona89]

jas14 I did not receive one had I passed the ppt the first time in may I would have though

[Bryguyny94]

Got mine! Rank 60$$. Any idea if it’s reasonable for me to assume I’d make it into this academy? I understand 100 or so people already did the medical but didn’t make it into the last academy, but regardless, they seem to be averaging a list number of about 2,100 per academy, so logic would dictate they COULD get up to about 6300 or so. Agreed? Also, how many candidates are invited to a full-sized class? About 250?

[GRNeye]

I wanted to let everyone know I received my medical invitation this afternoon. I am rank 74xx. Looking forward to seeing those who also got the invite!

[jas14]

GRNeye which processing did you go to?

[GRNeye]

I processed in May

[jas14]

It'll be interesting to see who they take for this upcoming ~April class. Looks so far that they'll only take March/May processors but up to what rank will be interesting.

[Harleyriders]

It will definitely be a full class if they are inviting ranks 7000+. Wonder if any Park Police started the process to convert over?

[Knickstape1987]

I got mine. Rank 59**. Assuming, if there is roughly 120-140 candidates who did the last medical and didn't make the current class are locked for this year. So I think anything pass 5500 and up is cutting it real close on making it. Then again who really knows, I was in the March processing which was rank 4000-6100 and only 864 showed up (overhead the ladies at the desk...they were taking bets). That number probably got cut in half between the processing weekend and everything else in between prior to submission. So who knows how far down the list they will go, but if folks with 7*** ranks getting called def going to be a full class. We can speculate forever, again who really knows.

[Bryguyny94]

I’d like to clear some discrepancy up here. I think most of us read a poster’s comment the wrong way at first. I believe when that user said he was “told at the last medical that there were 140 people from the last one” that that refers to the FIRST medical. I believe what he was trying to say was that at the last medical, he was told that there were 140 people left over from the previous medical to that, being the first one. Should this be true, this is good news to counter the initial fear upon wrongly reading that perhaps not so greatly worded comment. Additionally, I think we all need to stop worrying about medical numbers and leftovers and take it for the face value of the ranks in the academies. 2 academies so far, 4200 or so reached. Average of about 2100 per academy, so technically speaking, one way or another, maybe rank 6300 or so should be reached. Of course, you have people who deferred the first 2 academies, but surely people will defer this one as well. Wish you all the best, and here’s for hoping they do reach at least 6300.

[Astone1287]

So is it confirmed that there will be a Fall academy or is it just more of a rumor? I processed in September and finished everything rank 60xx. Hoping I get in the supposed Fall academy, seems like it’d be the last one before the new list

[C_Dona89]

Member hiring unit told me that the fall class is tentative I also processed in September but bring that the state is hurting for troopers I highly see them definitely having a class

[dutchessNY89]

You guys also have to understand that people don’t just wait around for the call to go to the academy. Life happens. Other departments call. Kids are born. People move on. Don’t all get caught up on a specific number. The fact that you made it to a medical is pretty promising. Just stay in shape. It’s a great job and you do not want to blow this opportunity.

[C_Dona89]

Agreed! My processing weekend had 4000 invited 1200 showed up and only 400 passed then you figure background disqualification and people to decide not to do it

[Tommy_V]

people don’t just wait around for the call to go to the academy.

??????????

[dutchessNY89]

What do you not understand? For some people they can not wait for a possibility of being called for a job. Some people need to take something immediately due to the position life has them in.

[Ryan_USAF]

Has anyone been invited to more then two mini medicals without deferring and not made it into an academy ? I received my letter yesterday for my second mini med, rank 47xx.

[jaguarshark]

I've never heard of anybody going to 2 without getting hired. You should be good to go with your rank, assuming no DQ.

[nycnyspolice]

when was your processing weekend and did you ever need to update any background/investigative info since your first medical

[jas14]

Some more information for you guys because I called Member Hiring today. Confirmed again that rank only matters within your processing group. So a 5000 rank that processed in May will always be in front of a 1000 rank that processed in September. Also for the guys who go to the 07MAR2020 medical and DO NOT get accepted into this ~April class you WILL be first in line for the Fall 2020 medical, even if September processors show up with a better test rank than you. To anyone that deferred with a great test score this is bad news. They are anticipating to do a new trooper test in OCT2020. They anticipate a Fall 2020 class and a Spring 2021 class off of the 2017 exam. Anything after Spring 2021 would be off of this new OCT2020 exam. To all my fellow September processors I will be taking that new OCT2020 exam just in case I for some reason need to defer again and don't make it to the Spring 2021 class. Better safe than sorry.

@Astone1287

[Astone1287]

Great information man. Sucks to have to wait longer but looks like My odds of making it in the fall class are good. I’m surprised they’re even thinking of doing another class in 2021. Thought this fall one would be the last one but I guess they’re trying to get as many guys as possible.

[518ny]

Is the fall 2020 academy set in stone? I think this may be the last class from the 2017 exam

[C_Dona89]

518ny if you read what he said he contacted member hiring unit and they’re anticipating fall 20 and spring 21

[nycnyspolice]

Hello and congrats to everyone who received a medical invite. I would like to know what exactly this medical entails and what we should expect to be doing for the day. Thank you and congrats.

[Harleyriders]

More paperwork. You meet with a contracted medical specialist who conducts a physical. Then you do uniform fitting. Last time I was there for almost 4 hours. I guess it depends on how many people show up for your appointment time. Might be more than or less than 4 hours.

[nycnyspolice]

What is done for the physical part? thank you for the info Harleyriders

[ascaldwell]

It’s basically hernia, blood pressure, medications you take, and them going over any injuries you’ve had (broken bones, surgeries,etc.). Your day gets extended if you have had lasik eye surgery when they put you in a detour line to check your vision. It easily added an extra hour for my last medical. Also, do keep in mind, if this is your first medical that they really do over-process as I, as well as many others, didn’t get into the academy last round. With that being said, stay optimistic and I’ll see you guys in Albany!

[Bryguyny94]

Successfully processed in May of 2019. I’m in the very low 6000’s, I believe I was in the beginning of my processing (I think May started with numbers 58/5900. Pending successful medical, do my chances at May academy entry look good? I know they over process, but I’ve seen that they called up to at least 7400 I think for the medical, so that seems like a good sign

[Atvriderjd]

I am 64XX and did not get an invite to medical

[Bryguyny94]

yes, but when did you process? Word on the street is you’re competing against those who processed with you

I am 64XX and did not get an invite to medical

[jg60]

At rank 64xx you should have received a medical if someone on here received it with a rank of 74xx. I would call member hiring

[Harleyriders]

Yes. This will be our second medical.

[Harleyriders]

Jg60 you changed the post completely

[jg60]

If I had to guess... ranks 4000-5000 went to last medical but didn’t get invited to the January academy. Those same people would have priority for a spring academy. Then maybe another 1000 more ranks should be invited to attend spring 2020. March 19 processing went up to rank 6100. Any rank lower than 6100, or may processing, would be first in line for a fall 2020 academy. Just my opinion on how the process has gone so far.

[Harleyriders]

You are correct. Not sure how many from 4k-5k are left over from last medical including me. I know there was a few low 4000’s that got a call for backfill.
