Well, my rank is 42XX ... I'm hoping I will get canvassed on this round ... I'm 5' 11" and weigh around 218 lbs and in pretty good shape ... I guess I should start losing some weight ... good luck to all you guys : )

you had better check out the sheet and get below the weight for your height. From memory i am going to say around 203-204 pounds. When i went for my final physical i was the same weight as my first physical and i failed. They are very strict now with the weight issue. I had to lose 18 pounds in 9 days, which i pulled off but did me no good since even though i passed and they confirmed me for the academy our fantastic new governor cancelled it at the last second.......

Dont mess around and get below that weight to save yourself aggrevation later.

still pulling that we will have a class soon

cut out soda, tons of water, low carbs, hard boiled egg whites, lots of small 100 calorie packs spread out through the day so your body was continually metabolising, plain popcorn, lots of grilled chicken and some salad. Make sure to not starve yourself cause it turns your metabolism down. Keep eating just make sure what you take in isnt going to add calories

good luck

Just heard from OCA HR and I will be able to go into the academy at my same pay rate if I am selected. That is great news as I would have really been struggling with taking a pay cut at this point in life.

How long does it usually take from accepting canvas letter untill first appontment? And are all of the appointments in Albany, or do you have to go to NYC for anything?

OCA didn't happen to even so much as hint at a class any time soon, did they?

They are currently canvassing for SGT. Nothing concrete yet about new officers

Thanks for the info Deacon. Hope all is well with you.

Thanks for the information. Were most of the 25 potential recruits also being canvassed for Suffolk?

Not sure, they told us all not to talk to one another during the exam so I did not get to talk to any one at the test. I did pass though and I am scheduled to appear for my background investigation this thursday so I'm excited about that.

I read on the website that the investigation typically takes 3-5 months, is that true?

Yes...if not longer. Good luck on your background investigation.

I was in contact with the processing and scheduling dept and they advised that they will begin contacting individuals for further processing beginning in June.

Hey Ryu,

How was your investigative meeting? Furthermore, did OCA tell you guys anything new?

[Cravan]

That's good news for you all. I get the impression that there may not be another recruit class until after April 2013. I telephoned OCA today and they stated that there is no news of an academy class.

Greetings everyone. I missed my previously scheduled initial background investigation meeting on May 17th. I did call the proceesing unit in advance to let them know and they told me a letter will follow but so far I have not received any correspondence. Should I be worried? I have come this far and dont want to be disqualified. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly.

Hope for the best, it doesnt look good for alot of us. The longer it takes for an academy class to go in the harder it will be for all the people with the higher rank numbers. All the rank numbers kinda fall into place. Even if they hire one in 10 (the example that was given during the physical ability) that would mean that 10 in every 100 would have a shot. So 50 out of 500 plus the other people that are waiting to get in would bring an academy class close to 100. I dont know. Seems like this is a bad time for us.
