2019 MTAPD Exam Announcement

[Mike0117]

Some good news. 150 in July and 200 in December.

[OnlyTheStrong1]

What about the police academy still no definite location for that yet.

[HighwayBob]

Nothing yet.

[Dcat19]

Any word if they’re going to have another exam this year? Myself and a few buddies of mine on Nypd are looking to leave and applied for the test and have heard nothing about one being scheduled.

[HighwayBob]

The test was last year. Tests have never been given so close together. MAYBE every two years.

[columbia09]

Any word on a possible physical fitness reschedule

[HighwayBob]

No news at this time.

[HighwayBob]

Dates are set for the PFT. July and August. Be ready.

[Mike_lowrey]

Thank you, have you heard any word on additional interviews as of yet? 12/15 Exam- passed.

[Simpleguy515]

Is that only for the people who got a panel?

[HighwayBob]

No word on interviews. No word on who will invited to the PFT but I would assume it won't be based on panel interviews.

[Ccontreras06]

HighwayBob i heard that mtpd trying to get a academy near upstate . Is that true and that they plan on hiring a lot because their in need of more officers because the class of 99 is set to retire .

[HighwayBob]

Class of '99 can go anytime since July of last year. We lost a few more today.

The hiring will be a total of 500 minimum. 160 already got hired in January/February. You do the math.

No word on the academy. We can't just throw an academy together in a few months so we will see what happens. Don't know what you mean by "upstate".

If it happens, rumor is that it would be either Randall's Island or on the property of our K9 training center in Dutchess County. Personally, I doubt it will happen. We will probably end up using the Nassau County Academy, but that's all a big question mark right now.

[F Cas]

HighwayBob Is there any updates about the upcoming July hire?

[HighwayBob]

No one will be hired in July. How can that possibly be if the first PFT won't be until mid-July?

[F Cas]

HighwayBob I’m just going off of what was posted on this thread a month ago. According to what was posted 150 people are being hired in July.

[HighwayBob]

A newspaper article is hardly a source of reliable information about these types of things.

[R0B0C0P]

MTA now has an 8 billion dollar deficit.

[Simpleguy515]

Does anyone know when letters/emails will be going out for the PFT ?

[Fdovi]

Some went out Today.

[Simpleguy515]

Is that just for people who had the panel or just the ones that passed?

[Mike_lowrey]

Idk, I haven’t received anything regarding an interview or pft. 12/15 exam (passed)

[Simpleguy515]

Same here.....

[columbia09]

Are we allowed to listen to music during the run?

[Mike_lowrey]

When is the pft?

[HighwayBob]

I don't know what a "panel candidate" is.

There are numerous dates scheduled for the PFT in July and August - I think it's six. There will be a reduced number of candidates tested on each date so they have added additional dates to the schedule.

I don't know if anyone has been notified about any date other than the first one.

[Mike_lowrey]

HighwayBob , thank you. Do you know approximately how many people will be invited to the PFT? I never interviewed as of yet.

[HighwayBob]

I have no idea how many will be tested each date. There were very few interviews done. IT DOES NOT MATTER. Processing steps do not have to go in order.

[columbia09]

I got the MTA letter notarized and my medical signed off in March for the April date . Do I have to get these resigned ? There’s no instruction on the email.

[2naaquan]

So I'm suppose to get a CD "warning and admonish" for an accidental discharge of a taser at the safety station. Would that effect me getting hired? No time is being taken from me.

[HighwayBob]

I doubt it but you would have to ask your investigator. If you donh't have one yet then you will have to wait.

[LowerEastSide6]

I’m a current MOS, but at the time that I signed up for the MTA exam I was a civilian. I received the passing email a few months back. Would I be able to change my status to a MOS, or would I just have to wait until I begin the process (if ever) to notify them of the change of status?

[HighwayBob]

I don't know how communication is for applicants. Did you ever receive ANYTHING as part of this process indicating that you needed to make a notification for things like change of address? I would think that you would have.

[columbia09]

Were the Physical fitness standards adjusted because of Covid 19 or do they remain the same ?

[HighwayBob]

Why would that change ANYTHING about the standards used?

Answer: it would NOT. You don't get an easier time because some people in the world got sick.
