NYPD Disqualified Candidate Rights

DCAS is New York City’s personnel department. DCAS has delegated the task of investigating applicants to the NYPD. You can appeal your NYPD disqualification. Applicants who are disqualified from appointment may challenge an agency’s findings on the grounds that such findings were made in bad faith or were arbitrary and capricious.

There are three potential appeals:

  1. NOPD – Notice of Proposed Disqualification. Based on NYS Civil Service Law 50(4) a hiring agency must give a disqualified candidate an opportunity to provide explanations for a proposed disqualification in writing.
  2. NOD – Notice of Disqualification. A disqualified candidate can appeal a disqualification to the Civil Service Commission.
  3.  If the disqualification is upheld by the Civil Service Commission the candidate can file an Article 78 lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court in the County concerned.

NYPD PSYCHOLOGICAL DISQUALIFICATION

Law Office of Kevin P. Sheerin

If you receive a NYPD Psychological Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD), you should appeal rather than attempt to explain this disqualification at every future job interview for the rest of your life.

The percentage of successful appeals has risen as a result of the NYPD psychological re-interview policy.  There was a time when your only chance of getting a Psychological Disqualification reversed was at the NYC Civil Service Commission. But now, the NYPD re-interviews many candidates who file a NYPD Psychological Review NOPD appeal.

Disqualified candidates who do not file an appeal, pass up the chance of getting a re-interview, which is also known as a NOPD interview. If you do not appeal, you will never get another chance to get appointed from that exam.

Please feel free to email me, and I will send you a book, video and PowerPoint video which clearly explains the appeal process.

Throughout my more than 18 years of experience as a civil service disqualification appeals attorney, I have helped many of my clients win their appeal. I can help you too.

Should I Appeal or Withdraw from a NYPD Notice of Proposed Disqualification

Law Office of Kevin P. Sheerin

Whether or not you should appeal or withdraw from a disqualification depends on the circumstances and facts involved in your disqualification.

Sometimes allowing more time to pass between incidents that caused you to be disqualified in the first place may be a good idea. In this type of situation, you may want to withdraw for now and try again later.

However, there are very few benefits to withdrawing, if your ultimate goal is to become a NYPD Police Officer. The withdrawal letter states that the next time you do apply for the job, the disqualification file will be used to determine your suitability.

So if your ultimate goal is to be appointed to that job, you may want to proceed with your disqualification appeal without delay.

If you have questions and would like to schedule a free consultation, please contact me at 516 248 0040.

Check Your Email Daily for NOPD and NOD

Law Office of Kevin P. Sheerin

Candidates should check their Email EVERY DAY! If you miss a Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD) or a Notice of Disqualification (NOD) email for a NYPD psychological disqualification and you do not respond within 30 days your appeal may be dismissed.

Claiming you never received the email is not an acceptable excuse, as there is documented evidence showing the day, date and time the email was sent.

Failure to respond to your email in a timely manner can prevent you from getting appointed to the job.

You might want to consider setting up an email filter in which your email provider separates the emails you receive from the NYPD into a separate folder so you do not miss a NOPD or NOD email.

If you have questions and would like to schedule a free consultation, please call me at 516 248 0040.
