PAPD Officer Exam 2020 (March 16 - April 5th 2020)

[Segurosky3410]

ukrandriy89 for non military members the same rules applied. Yes if you served active duty, up to 6 years can be subtracted from your age, depending if one served that long. If your 35 already no waivers will be given due to COVID. Unless PAPD decides to changed their minds, expect anyone who's 34 and would not reach the Academy before 35 graduated will find themselves ineligible.

They canceled the class next year, no more classes until 2022 possibly 2023, good luck.

Oh man, that's unfortunate... I was hoping maybe by the end of next year, it is what it is I guess.

Hopefully they’ll select from the lottery and start the process for getting the recruits for the 120th class early next year

[Bidstar]

That would be perfect imo, hopefully they get the process rolling next year.

"Representing a $1.3 billion reduction from the $8.6 billion 2020 budget, the sobering spending plan stops funding on any project not already under construction. It also slashes 626 jobs through early retirements, attrition and voluntary buyouts, reduces overtime by 15% and continues a hiring freeze."

This article was published today, close to 6:30 p.m. I have yet to get an email regarding any updates from Port Authority either, in case anyone asks.

Did they still have signup for this ? I signed up a year ago and haven’t heard anything. Is there a number I can call for more information?

[Bidstar]

Nothing we can do, Covid stopped the process they haven’t even started the lottery to take the test yet.

[columbia09]

I signed up in 2017 and never got picked to take the test. I remember answering a survey if I was interested in being reconsidered to take the test but I never heard anything after that and this was like 2 years ago. I never got a notice saying that they were signing people up for another test. Is there a way I can sign up for this one ?

[ukrandriy89]

Curious if it’s going to be the same lottery pick or new sign ups all together

Did you sign up in 2017 to?

[ukrandriy89]

Yes sir, signed up as soon as the application went live. Hope this exam comes sooner because in 2023, I’ll be 34

[columbia09]

Is that selection even relevant anymore ?

[polkaxdot100]

Kinda upsetting that NYPD has begun hiring and PAPD is lagging

[Reigns167]

Contreras they don’t even need anybody right now. No overtime and there’s excess everywhere. Rumor is 2023 is next class. My guess maybe 2022, depends on the pandemic situation really.

[ukrandriy89]

Hope pa changes there minds for the sooner.

[Reigns167]

Well the cut police budget for this year , doubt you’ll see any movement until January 2022 at the earliest

[Grady89]

Reigns you’re right. I’m on the job, excess everywhere and absolutely no overtime right now. Only thing in your favor is that our contract expires 2023 and if guys that are eligible to retire choose to stay, they loose out on their healthcare and downgrade to a way worse one. That will force a hell of a lot of guys out. I heard 400-500. Be patient, this job is worth it

Heard on the radio they want a new bus station soon.

Hoping for 2022 processing, fingers crossed.

[Segurosky3410]

Grady89 u think process open up in 2022?

[Grady89]

Talk between Academy staff and guys on the job is 2022-23. They will have to put a least one class in before everyone starts retiring otherwise we will be doing 16’s everyday. Any personal questions about the job, shoot me a DM. More than willing to help.

[Rtorr19]

How many candidates are they looking to hire after the psychological interview? Or for each class?

[Grady89]

The last 4 academy classes have been around 130 recruits each class.
