Next 2 academy classes were canceled , so wouldn't expect to hear anything till winter or so. New test is cancelled for now and hiring freeze is on

Wow can't say I'm too surprised. Hope no one loses there jobs...thanks for the reply!

Hey, i remember what it feels like to be left in the dark twiddling my thumbs, it sucks. I logged on to tell you what i've heard.

I don't know what you've heard already, but rumors lately are lay offs throughout the entire system..many things happen before lay offs, but the goal is to cut back on a certain budget, and if it isn't met, lay offs. Nothing is set in stone as of yet. I'm hearing from some people the class that was set to graduate in April will be fine, i'm hearing from others that they are not safe, if you ask me, judging by how things are going i unfortunately can't see them lasting long before being furloughed, i hope i'm wrong.

Rumors are the upcoming test that was scheduled for this year will be cancelled, and there will be a hiring freeze. Again, nothing is factual yet, and for everyone's sake including my own and the officers i work with, i hope that isn't true. Considering the staffing deficiencies already, after a possible buyout we just cant afford to lose anymore manpower or go too long without a new academy class.

Anyone hear any news/rumors lately?

[Holcroft]

Unless the budget cuts are bad enough for them to let that class go. Got to wait and see what Cuomo comes up with for next fiscal period which starts July 1st I believe.
Courts are opening up is more of a symbolic thing ,there is not much of anything actually happening in courthouses for now.

[Virgil_Tibbs]

I assume they have to finish the January class first...can't see how they could have completed everything since it was stopped in March.

courts in long island are opening up in the next week or so per a lawyer friend of mine. Hopefully we'll be seeing some updates from the academy/processing

[ownal0t]

Has anyone heard from their investigator at all?

[joeya7]

Has anyone heard from their investigator at all?

[AMP519]

I'm assuming with the NYS budget disaster there won't be any hiring for some time. Hope I'm wrong.

[ownal0t]

how is everyone doing?

[ownal0t]

I'm definitely gonna go with this ideal so I will not go nuts

plus they would need to continue the downstate class would they not? unless they can remotely learn
