NYS Court Officers

[Virgil_Tibbs]

Is the academy still moving along? I justwonder with all these bans on large groups of people...

[Holcroft]

Likely not, courts are on minimum staffing

[Virgil_Tibbs]

Smh guess that will delay everything...wonder if that helps or hurts those of us on the 2014 list...well either way be safe everyone

[ownal0t]

it probably helps cause, no new test = no new scores, No new scores = more time for the 2014 class to get processed.

this is a situation where you andme and others arent at fault and they will probably see it like that. i cant see people being punished for random acts of god/ pandemics

[Virgil_Tibbs]

Hope you're right!

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

[ownal0t]

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

[ownal0t]

how is everyone doing?

[AMP519]

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

[joeya7]

Has anyone heard from their investigator at all?

[ownal0t]

Has anyone heard from their investigator at all?

nope and i don't plan on it if there are no gatherings and classes unless theyre planning an online course

[MOS.BachoDilil]

Has anyone heard from their investigator at all?

Not at all. The phone message for the aysinvestigations unit says all processes is suspended until further notice

[glock17james]

hey guys what is the top pay for downstate, is there overtime aswell and what is the retirement age

[kcole26]

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

[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.

[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]

Anyone hear any news/rumors lately?

[Rat95]

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.

[Virgil_Tibbs]

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

[Holcroft]

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

[L3o1112]

First time applying for court officer. Im aware everything is shut down but wanted to know . I hear there are two academy locations can we choose which location we want to attend.

What are the academy hours ?, im assuming its not live in

whats starting salary?


what a typical day for a court officer like

[L33]

There are two locations, upstate they provide hotel accommodations during the week, and you go home on the weekends. Downstate is the new academy in Brooklyn. It's accessable with public transportation. The academy runs 9-5, but if your on time your late. Pay is approximately 50k-80k, plus location, uniform allowance, and sled (supplementary law enforcement differential). Your day to day duties vary greatly by the command you are placed in. You could be assigned to magnetometers, assigned to a security post, working a trial, running inmates. It truly is a great career with great hours, however it is on the lower end of the law enforcement pay salary for new york. The trade off is the Monday -friday workweek with holidays off. Your best bet is to study as much as you can for the exam, they have prep courses and books on amazon. It's not really knowledge based, just how you read a situation and choose the best answer. Good luck for whenever they get the new test out and start processing again. My guess is around 5 years, but that just a guess.

[Virgil_Tibbs]

Do you think those of us from the last list are out of luck? In your opinion...I had just missed the January class

[L33]

Virgil tibbs, nobody can say for certain, but from what I've read there is a freeze on all hiring, promotions, future classes, and the test is on hold/canceled.

[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

[UchihaMadara]

OK lets be real, is there any hope for this test or should I just
forget about it ? If they are not giving the test, can we get our money back?

[CCCSD]

Bwahahahaha. Money back...are you kidding?
