Your Guide to the NYPD Hiring Process….

After you have taken the exam, the NYC Department for Citywide Administration Services (DCAS) will generate your “list number”. List numbers are generated only to Candidates who pass the exam and are generated by exam score (meaning the higher your score, the lower your list number will be).

After you pass the exam, the NYPD’s Candidate Assessment Division will email you an invitation to create a NYPD Candidate Portal account. Through this Portal, you will required to complete the Personal History Questionnaire, as this is where your assessment process begins. At this time you will be asked to prepare and upload additional documents through the Portal (which you can find at NYPD Candidate Portal (nypdonline.org)

At your first interview you will be required to bring and/or upload certain documentation. A list of the items you will be required to upload and/or bring will be listed on your NYPD Candidate Portal after you complete your Personal History Questionnaire.

You can expect the hiring process to take an average of 6 months to 1 year to be hired. It rare cases the process can take as little as 2 months or as long as 4 years depending upon each candidate’s situation. Your exam is valid for four years from the date your list number is established.

You Failed the NYPD Psychological Test – Now What?

If you fail the NYPD Psychological Test you will receive (by email) a Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD) stating that you are psychologically disqualified from the NYPD Police Officer title. You have thirty days from the date of the NOPD to appeal. For a successful outcome, you should hire both an attorney and a psychologist experienced in the NYPD appeal process, who will help you file a rebuttal report. This report will be sent to the NYPD Candidate Assessment Division for review.

After your psychologist’s report is reviewed you may receive an email directing you to come in for another interview with a NYPD psychologist. During the interview the psychologist will review the reports prepared by both the original NYPD psychologist and your expert. You should expect to be questioned on any inconsistencies between the reports and the problem areas found by the first NYPD Psychologist who chose to disqualify you. This re-interview is an important step in the NYPD appeal process and should not be taken lightly. Be sure to hire a seasoned Attorney and Mental Health Professional who are experienced in this type of appeal process.

NYPD Appeal Successes – Kevin P. Sheerin Client Testimonials…

The following testimonials are from several of our clients, who faced disqualification during the NYPD application process, but successfully appealed and ultimately overcame the odds:

December, 2023: “After I received a disqualification I contacted Kevin Sheerin. After filing an appeal I received a second interview and after preparation was found qualified. Thank you Mr. Sheerin. I couldn’t have done it without you.” – Hakeem T.

December, 2023: “I contacted Kevin Sheerin after I received an NYPD disqualification. We prepared together for a second interview. Glad to report that I was found qualified!” – Kenneth R.

November, 2023: “I contacted Kevin Sheerin and Dr. Robert Daley to file an appeal of my disqualification. We did a number of preparation sessions for my 2nd Interview and my disqualification was reversed.” – Ariful H.

April, 2023: “Going through a NOPD or DQ is a really stressful and daunting process. When it came time to go before the NYC Civil Service Commission, I felt confident having Mr. Sheerin represent me. My DQ was ultimately reversed.” – Taylor S.

February, 2023: “…I hired Kevin back in 2020 to appeal my NOPD… and it was once again denied. Kevin told me if I ever did the process again to call him. I told him I probably won’t…, but if anything I’ll call. Jump forward to 2022 and there I am in the process again. To my surprise Kevin never attempted to make money from me but rather reviewed my last NOPD and prepared me for my upcoming interview. I believe it’s with his words of wisdom and guidance that I was successful. His advice was important and yet simple that I was probably too arrogant to see. In the end it worked out for me by the guidance of Kevin and I thank him so much for keeping in contact with me even though he wasn’t seeking money, but rather to make sure I was able to join the NYPD.” – Aleem H.

Perhaps the experiences, challenges, and strategies shared by the above Candidates who overcame their disqualifications, will provide you with valuable insight and motivation.
