Your Guide to the NYPD Hiring Process…

When going through the NYPD hiring process it is important for Candidates to be engaged and respond promptly throughout the process. The quicker a Candidate responds back to their investigator, fills out their paperwork and schedules their appointments, the faster the process will go.

Candidates should also know that there are 3 things that will immediately disqualify you from becoming a Police Officer; (1) A felony conviction; (2) A domestic violence misdemeanor conviction; and/or, (3) A dishonorable discharge from the military.

The best advice for Candidates going through the process is to ALWAYS be truthful. Regardless of how much you may want to sugarcoat your past, it is always better to be truthful with the investigator. Lying about your background can only hurt you in the end, since the NYPD will review your history in its totality anyway. There is a chance you may not be disqualified for something you were truthful about, but there is a higher probability you will be disqualified for lying or intentionally omitting important facts about yourself and/or your history.

NYPD Psychological Disqualification: Understanding the Process…

If you received a NYPD psychological disqualification, you may feel discouraged and unsure of your future prospects. However, you must understand that you have the right to appeal this decision.

Understanding the NYPD Psychological Screening Process

The NYPD has a rigorous screening process to ensure that all candidates possess the necessary mental and emotional stability to serve effectively as a NYPD officer. If the NYPD has determined that you do not meet their standards, they will issue a psychological disqualification.

The Appeal Process for a NYPD Psychological Disqualification

The good news is that a psychological disqualification from the NYPD is not final, and you have the right to appeal this decision. The appeal process involves presenting additional evidence that supports your case and shows that you possess the necessary mental and emotional stability to serve as a NYPD police officer.

How to Appeal Your NYPD Psychological Disqualification

To appeal your psychological disqualification, you may need to gather additional evidence, such as medical records, letters of recommendation, and statements from mental health professionals. The NYC Civil Service Commission may grant you a hearing, where you can present your case and provide additional evidence. The hearing officer will review all the evidence presented and make a final decision on your appeal.

Seeking Professional Assistance for Your Appeal

Appealing a psychological disqualification can be a lengthy and complex process, so it may be beneficial to seek the assistance of a qualified attorney and mental health professional familiar with the NYPD’s hiring process. They can provide guidance and support throughout the appeal process and increase your chances of a successful outcome.

Conclusion

Receiving a psychological disqualification from the NYPD may feel like a setback, but it is important to understand that you have options. By appealing this decision, you can present additional evidence that supports your case and shows that you possess the necessary mental and emotional stability to serve as a NYPD police officer. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and fight for your future.

If you received a NYPD Psychological Disqualification and would like to schedule a free consultation, please contact Kevin Sheerin at 516.248.0040.

What should I write in my personal statement?
How long should it be?

The NYPD does not have a length or content requirement for your personal statement. You may want to consider your strengths and weaknesses, as well as your greatest challenges and achievements. You should also consider the oral interview (e.g., what went well, what didn’t, what you wish you would’ve said, etc.) and the position for which you are applying. Consider a few reasons why your psychologist might have felt that you are not currently suitable for the role and then try to specifically address those topics. If you have had any major life changes (e.g., changes to employment) or major achievements since your oral interview, the NYPD recommends that you include that information as well.

After submitting an appeal were you offered another interview?
Here are a few tips from the NYPD…

NYPD Psychological Assessment Appeal interviews are conducted by consulting third-party psychologists, typically at either the NYPD’s Medical Division in Queens or the Candidate Assessment Center in Manhattan. If you have been offered another interview, the NYPD recommends that you:

  1. Arrive on time;
  2. Dress in business attire; and,
  3. Be prepared to talk about your history (i.e., education, employment, legal issues, psychological information, etc.), even if these topics were covered extensively in your first interview.
