New York State Police

Also that 60 million needed that Cuomo referenced was a forecast of lost revenue over a 3-4 year period.

You sure it’s not 60 billion? 60 million is nothing for state and local governments. Suffolk county alone needs 1 billion

[Dukefan23]

Lol that’s what I meant, 69 billion, my B

[Dukefan23]

Anyone see that NYSP has asked to be removed from NYC? Think that’ll have any affect on staffing needs?

[far1993]

I don't think it will affect much there really aren't that many troopers in NYC anyway and we have yet to see how that request will be handled, I doubt they will entirely remove the NYC troop

[ascaldwell]

I would wait and see how it plays out. They said Troopers are usually at airports, bridges, and tunnels. Making it impossible for people from the suburbs (usually upper middle-class tax payers) to commute could cripple NYC. That being said, nothing that mayor does has been even remotely rational.

[far1993]

Didn't come from the mayor, the request came from NYSP PBA asking leadership to remove troopers from the city due to the ridiculous restraints the city council put on cops

[Corpsman1/5]

If you want to look at it from a positive angle, dispersing NYC troopers throughout NY means paying troopers less overtime, and freeing up the instructors to hold an academy. Also allows more troopers to retire, meaning they have to be replaced (new hires).

if you want to look at it from a negative angle, well I’m not a trooper so I honestly don’t know.

[Dukefan23]

I think it’s a good thing.

[ascaldwell]

Yeah I know, the PBA is doing it in response to the reform bill that the mayor is about to sign (and is spearheading).

[NYPDpoQNS]

current bill in NYS Assembly committee: would prohibit all peace officers from carrying guns on or off duty. That’s correction officers , park rangers , peace officers of any kind. Make sure to voice some opposition spread the word to vote nay on this thing. Next thing you know they’ll be trying to take guns from police officers too. We all need to stick together

Nothing is going to change with Troop NYC. I hope you don't think the PBA will say something and *poof* it happens.

[Habs504]

Anything on the rumor front? Sucks being in the dark like this

[Dukefan23]

Next academy 2025

[Habs504]

Lol that’s how it feels right now

[Dukefan23]

Yea I was kidding, I don’t think anyone knows anything still, unfortunately.

[Corpsman1/5]

Everyone I’ve talked to said “They will give you 2 weeks notice to get everything in order. So have a bag packed and be on high alert.” Hurry up and wait.

[jaguarshark]

Well at this point whoever gets into the next Academy will have to do another medical. So it won't be sudden notice.

[Corpsman1/5]

Not necessarily, the state does what they want. There were a lot of people who processed in March 2019 and just went to medical in March 2020. They process large quantities so they can pick and chose who they want. It’s all a waiting game now.

[thingreyline211]

I was slated to go into academy 211, i wonder if theres any chance being a September processor if they ran a larger 210 some of us September people can get moved into it.

[Dukefan23]

Unfortunately more than likely not, class 210 is going to be made up of recruits who processed in March and May of 2019. Their were approximately 140-150 ppl who processed in March 2019 that went to the medical and uniform fitting in July of 2019 that didn’t get into to class 209 that started that September. The next class will be mainly recruits from March and probably 50-100 ppl that processed in May of last year.

[Wackadoodle]

Yeah I’m in the same boat @thingreyline211. I think the only way this happens is if enough of the people that were ahead of us (original 210) are no longer able to go into 210 because of the extended wait that Covid has caused. Fingers crossed, but probably unlikely. COVID has made the whole process unpredictable.

[Dukefan23]

Maybe we will hear something soon though, local agencies across NY are putting out a new exam at the end of September, hopeful that’s a good sign!

[C_Dona89]

Buddy from work just texted me he processed in September with me and he received a letter today saying he was disqualified he passed his poly and also had a good background so idk what happened I checked my mailbox I received no letter. Another buddy I know got disqualified back in October and he found out because when you log into your application on the trooper site where it shows your rank and all it will say that you did not meet the requirements. So my friend today also logged in and it confirmed he was DQed and I also logged in mine is still active.

[far1993]

Where are you checking your status? Can you provide a link?

[518ny]

What rank was he?
