NYS Court Officers

[FG1991]

Good morning,

I have called the Courts Processing 212 # that is at the end of all letters and was informed by staff the next POSSIBLE academy for NYS (the Brooklyn location) is for soft loading of January 2020.

They can't make any solid statements but that would be the EARLIEST they have a class. Of course all contingent on needs of state, funding, pool of candidates, other things out of our knowledge bank etc etc.

Has anyone else called recently (within last couple weeks) asking on possible confirmation of next class?

Cause in summer many were saying (staff included) late fall possibly November.
But when i spoke to someone yesterday they were adamant that it is impossible to have one for November but we can only softly say January just cause it is based on a lot of factors.

****Best of Luck to everyone****

[Rockaway8678]

Yes, I was told the same info yesterday.

[Travis64]

Has anyone heard about the next upstate class?

[Virgil_Tibbs]

Wow...what exactly does soft loading mean?

Good morning, I can only make an educated guess that means thats the NEXT tentative date that they are HOPING for. But they can say January but who knows it can start February or March or (fill in another month). Normally I've known academies to start January or October but every year & every agency is different, they don't all start same time.

Cause like all agencies its at the needs of the State, City, Gov't, and about all the other things behind the scenes that we have no control over like being funded, finding enough applicants that are qualified etc etc. Pretty much everything i said above.

So when most began this processing in late June after PAT many were saying a November class however with the processing moving along and how long backgrounds can go, and filtering through Psych Exams and etc it can prolong an academy date. Which is why November is not the possible month, now it's been pushed to a "soft" January (IF ALL GOES WELL WITH ALL FACTORS).

Any updates on a possible January academy?

[kcole26]

Just received the email stating that the evaluation board has cleared me. Anyone else also receive this letter? Any thoughts as to when they would send notification for a pre-medical?

[Jdot2116]

You should receive a call from medical about a month before the academy.

[BlueLineHopeful]

Congrats, I didn’t get anything :’(
I guess I’m out of the running, good luck to all in the next academy.

[USMCmech6216]

Don’t get too bummed out. Just because you didn’t get a clear from the bird yet doesn’t mean your out of the game. It took me 7-9 months to hear I was cleared. Plus since there’s prolly not a Nov. academy, there is plenty of time for clearance for an up coming academy. Keep your head up, stay in shape, keep doing your push ups, sit ups, mountain climber and running.

[USMCmech6216]

This is to all in the group.... I first want to say good job making it as far as you have. This is a long and tiring process. I also want to advise everyone NOT to give up. This is a long process, as I mentioned previously, and you can’t/shouldn’t just quit now. It’s been too long and you’ve all done so much and got this far to just say “oh well! I give up.” Also for those who are at the end of the rope just be prepare for anything. Worst case scenario, you will have to take the test again. Just remember what you can from the last test and get a better score.

We don’t want a “QUITTER” on this job. Those are important words, especially once you get into the academy. Keep you head UP, keep you eye on the prize and push through. When it hits the fan we stick together and have each other’s back. REMEMBER: Sit up, push ups, mountain climbers and RUN, RUN, RUN. Wish you all the best and I look forward to hearing good news from you guys.

This message has gone longer then intended. Good Luck everyone. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. Nothings administrative, I don’t have those answers.

-Fraternally Yours

[BlueLineHopeful]

I will not quit, I already signed up to get notifications on the next exam. I hope I don’t have to take it but I rather be safe than sorry. Again, good luck to all that are moving forward, I hope I can say that I will be too.

Blue line what is your approximate rank and location preference? Just curious.

[Tedliz]

Anybody get the call for there final medical yet?

[Jay9090]

I have a few questions regarding health care coverage that if any court officers on the job could clarify would be greatly appreciated.
-Do you have co pays for doctor/specialist visits?
-Are the health benefits offered decent?
-Can you get a set priced family health package or do you pay for each member of your family?



Thank you ahead of time for any responses.

[soon2retire]

Copays are $25. It is good coverage. Family insurance is the same rate for all families, although I don’t know the exact cost offhand

[Jay9090]

Thank you for the information.

[Holcroft]

Theres many options for health insurance , and it is decently priced.

[soon2retire]

I can only speak for the Empire Plan. Don’t know anything about the others

[OPT3]

I’m unable to locate the medical history questionnaire. Does anyone have a clue where on the site is it?

[Travis64]

Do you need this for the background interview?

[joeya7]

Does anyone know the pay scale from entry level to final step top salary?

[Bidstar]

So I guess the upcoming 2020 test will be around April right?

[Mattyg9012]

I’m assuming that if I didn’t receive an email yet about clearance from the evaluation board I probably didn’t get in. Correct?

[Holcroft]

Still plenty of time , rumors of next academy pushed out to march

[FG1991]

Hey,

They could still be processing your application. Contact your investigator and see where they are with your investigation, if they submitted to the board yet and so forth.

They would have better knowledge based on where your application status is.

[kcole26]

where are these rumors coming from? when I have called up they maintain that they do not have any information on an upcoming academy date
