probably wont be an exam for a loonnnnngggg time. Last academy class was over 2 years ago.

Yea, forget about even looking at this place as they are going to cut officers by attrition as its all going "gateless" and they wont need as many as they have now.

Look somewhere else for law enforcement employment.

no one really knows whats going on. As of this week they just created an anti-terror detail, and they are beefing up security/posts at the facilities.

This goes for everything in Civil Service. Nobody ever truly know.

The MTA is crying poverty, it may be a long wait.

Ok I understand, than what are the temporary BTO or toll collector positions? do they ever get converted to BTO?

[NYCTNT]

Hell no.

Im not tbta, but have friends that are. Its a total misconception that they are true officer on a temp basis or get to roll over to a uniformed position.

They should really change the title as its a bad look.

You still gotta take the test and pass all the other crap as well.

[rocknroll]

wow I guess ill just wait for the next test...if there ever is one.

I know this is an old thread, but does anybody know anything about the Temp BTO position?

I heard not good things about the temp position.

I heard not good things about the temp position.

Are they police/peace officers? Would this be a good foot in the door?

[LINY]

I heard not good things about the temp position.

What are some of the 'not good things?'

TBTA are Peace Officers with statewide jurisdiction
