Vista,

I'm WELL AWARE of DOs etc., more than your limited knowledge. Stick to pontificating in your little corner, which is shilling for these private counsels, and leave the other things to those who know.

You may be called back in by a supervisor who is an alcohol specialist. You just have to wait it out and see which way it goes. If you make it through the Psych Process, you still have an uphill battle. NYPD's general policy (backround) for a single alcohol violation is, 5 hiring bar from date of offense. They base it off of the Initial Charge not its final disposition.

As you have now learned- you dont have to be physically driving to be considered dwi/dwai. So, you did it- lucky you got a good deal. Whatever you do, dont attempt to minimize your mess up. Own it, and show how you have moved on.

If you get a Proposed dq, on the psych, you should consider appealing it. Perhaps it wasnt the alcohol issue- at least get too the point in the appeal which you can review your psych file, and see what you need to work on. The you can decide from there if you wish to spend the money to put up a fight.

Alcohol specialist from the psych department? I never heard of this? What if for example, that they do call me in? What happens from there? Interesting to know about this.

Yes, I did explain to the psychologist that I did learn from my lesson and etcetera but I just have to wait it out now. I practically am done with everything and I guess my BI is in progress. Haven't heard from my background investigator nor have I received the NOPD.

I appreciate your valuable feedback.

Any one knowledgable that I can PM.

You made a statement that all Physicians / psychiatrists are are MD's. And all psychologists hqve Phd.'s. It was a over broad, and patently false statement. Just because your statement was wrong, no need to get like a child.

Your BI goes on hold while your on psych review. Basically, your investigator does a print out of his candidates every morning- and if your on review they do no further Backround work on your case until your cleared.

Wait it out dude. I know the waiting and not knowing whats up part sucks.

Question for Vista......What percentage of those NYPD candidates on "psychological review or hold" will eventually be cleared by the psych unit?? My guess is 5 to 10%.

I never heard of the NYPD psych alcohol specialist either...ask the specialist what brand of whiskey or liquor he or she prefers after hours.

A good single malt...or a bottle of Jam'o. But id never admit to hard liquor.

When asked about alcohol... It went sonething like this...

do you drink? (Yes)
how often? (sporadically)
how many till you get drunk? (Probably not many, i dont drink to get drunk)
Why do you drink? (Well, nice dry red tastes awesome with a steak. And nothing like a beer with hotwings).

That ended her questioning about alcohol.

as far as the alcohol specialist- i believe he is a supervisor at psych services. I've read appeal cases where he did second interviews.

as far as the statistics- ive searched high and low and could never find anything concrete.

I feel unsure about that. The Doctor had me working and searching high and low for the record, just to get it and then nix me off the list. And no I never had any negative actions while in the Military. I did however land in some hot water while off post once, that jammed me up somewhat, but I had it taken care of quicker than a squeaky wheel. The Army understood it and took my side, hell even got promoted like 3 months later. The Doc seemed in disbelief that it turned out as such which is how I ended up on review =/

[Jay_perez]

Discontinued and "review" are different. Disocontinued usually means they closed oit the case because they were misisng paperwork or they candidate was unresponsive. I believe he can reopen and should call his investigator

My BI said my status was on psych Hold. Not sure if discontinued and hold are the same, but hold sounds 100% better let me tell yah
