January 2018 Nassau County PD Exam

[BlueBlood516]

As disappointing as that news is for the many of us who are cleared and were expecting to go into a May academy. When Mangano was county executive they had a County-wide hiring freeze and he still hired approximately 150 employees and stated they were “essential personnel”. Let’s hope the county squeezes in a class for spring/summer. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

[Jackson2240]

I think police are always essential status. Also hiring cheaper salaries saves on overtime I believe .

[Simpleguy515]

Hopefully it will start back up once this virus dies down and we start to go back to notmal

[Max99]

They are not hiring anymore for 2020. Hopefully 2021 starts it up again. I’m a hold over from the last academy so I’m feeling the pain too.

[Max99]

Well worst case scenario is it lasts for 5 years like what happened around the last recession from 2008-2013. Apparently they didn’t hire anybody then. https://www.longislandpress.com/2013...ts-in-5-years/

I was supposed to take physical April 4th, and received an email saying it was going to be rescheduled. Has anyone been contacted with a new date. I know its probably not till this whole thing is over. Just want to make sure I haven’t missed any info.

[Baileyfeder1]

Just received an email that background investigation in may has been postponed

[NYPDpoQNS]

Same I took physical March 8, had background may 12... just got email today that it’s postponed

[Baileyfeder1]

Yup same here! Same exact dates, hopefully not postponed for too long...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.new...sky-1.44014884. “The budget shortfall is expected to be $261.1 million because Nassau is not filling 331 vacant positions funded in the 2020 budget, according to the report and Deputy County Executive Raymond Orlando.”

[Simpleguy515]

Does that mean no hires then for all of 2020 and possibly 2021

[Max99]

https://www.nassaucountyny.gov/Docum...k-FINAL?bidId= The proposed 2020 budget allocated the slots for the May and November class. Since those are not being filled this year then I would assume they are being pushed to 2021. But that is only an assumption.

[Jackson2240]

I am pretty sure the police are exempt. Could be wrong

[Max99]

I hope you’re right

[Jackson2240]

I am assuming they canceled on upcoming appointments until the state mandate is lifted and they can get people in staggered .

[Jackson2240]

What is everyone’s approximate list numbers?

[Creighton1005]

Spoke to officer in investigations today. He said if you've already done physical/drug testing, your processing will continue and you can still be assigned a background investigator. However he did say academy has been pushed back and didn't seem sure about status of hiring at this time.

[Max99]

That’s good to know. Hopefully it’s just pushed based on COVID-19 conditions and not on the County’s financial status.

[Islesfan21]

I had a buddy that was contacted this week from a investigator. I called the office last week and they said I should be contacted soon.

[TrunkS3]

Islesfan21 what’s your list number?

[Brandonbje]

I was scheduled for a second polygraph back in March but I tested positive for Covid (working city 911)so they stated they would reschedule for the future with no known date. As of March 15, I have not heard back

[Max99]

Gotcha, thanks for the info.

[Max99]

Are you processing with the county or a village?

[Brandonbje]

The county, I live in Suffolk so I don’t qualify for villages

[TheGreatBambino]

Brandonbje If you live in Suffolk, you would still qualify for villages.

[Simpleguy515]

I was just wondering can someone explain this hiring and budget stuff. So are they holding the next two classes? Secondly, will they continue calling for the agility one things reopen?

more so what are we looking at for the future.

[Hcxx32]

By any chance would anyone know if they will continue the physical test after the lockdown? I was postponed at the beginning of March for the physical due to the virus. Thanks!

[Simpleguy515]

Processing has started I know a few people that are scheduled for pyschs

[Jackson2240]

After you are assigned a background investigator the next step is a coe before anything else right ?

[Max99]

Yes. The BI submits your background packet to the civil service commission for review. They then either approve or deny you to receive the COE. If you’re approved you then have to come in to HQ to sign your COE with the rest of the candidates moving forward. After that you do psych, poly, and medical.

[Max99]

Your BI has to first meet with you though for the BI interview. A month or two after that you should find out if you get a COE. At least that’s how it was for me

[Jackson2240]

Got it .thanks I’m in low 400s don’t know where I stand

[BlueBlood516]

Any updates on if or when an academy class will begin?
