Appealing Civil Service Job Disqualifications

New York City Personnel Services Bulletin 100-10R addresses the process of appealing a civil service job disqualification.

New York State Civil Service Law and the New York City Charter authorized the DCAS Commissioner to disqualify a candidate for medical or psychological reasons.

Throughout my 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.

Correctional Officer Psychological Screening

For those interested in a job with the New York State Department of Correctional Services, there is information regarding the psychological screening program for correction officer trainee candidates on line which covers an overview of the screening program, lists the psychological tests administered, and explains the rating system. It also provides a breakdown of the number of people tested, number of disqualifications, number of appeals and number of disqualifications overturned.

I have been a New York Civil Service Law Attorney for more than 18 years and I can help you with your disqualification appeal for the NYPD, NYC Police Department; FDNY, Fire Department of NYC; NYC Department of Sanitation; NYC Department of Corrections or DCAS, NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services.

BE CAREFUL when Hiring a Psychologist for your Appeal

Part of the psychological disqualification appeal process is finding a psychologist who will help you make the strongest arguments for your candidacy. If the psychologist is unable or unwilling to acknowledge your accomplishments, good points, strengths, adversities you have overcome, perseverance over hardships or your persistence in improving despite past difficulties or disabilities, then you must look for a different psychologist. The psychologist you hire SHOULD BE ON YOUR SIDE, advocating for you.

Beware of psychologists who charge a very low fee and tell you that they will help you, but then do a superficial interview, as they may simply use the NYPD’s testing to confirm that you are unsuitable, and then send a report to the NYPD stating that you are unsuitable, without ever telling you. If this happens, not only did they not help you, but they have destroyed any chance you had of ever becoming a NYPD officer.

You MUST make a clear agreement with any psychologist you hire that they will discuss their findings with you BEFORE sending any report to the NYPD.

The psychologist you are considering MUST understand that they are supposed to be advocating for you, and if they don’t believe you are suitable, then they should let you know that they cannot support your candidacy, AND FURTHER AGREE that they will not forward any report to the NYPD if they come to such a conclusion.

If this does happen, at least you will have an opportunity to find a psychologist who will help and support your appeal.

Use Caution Completing Assessment Forms during NYPD Application Process

Law Office of Kevin P. Sheerin

If you would like to become a NYPD officer you must get your Certificates of Disposition for any arrests or summonses you may have received. You must also get your Lifetime Abstract from New York State Department of Motor Vehicles before you complete your Applicant Processing forms.

DO NOT GUESS ABOUT ANY OF YOUR RECORDS! If you guess about any arrests, moving violations or summonses you may have had, you will receive a Notice of Proposed Disqualification-NOPD stating that you are disqualified for “Omission of Pertinent Facts.”

The NYPD and other hiring agency such as NYC Department of Correction or FDNY have access to all of your information, and when you submit an incomplete and/or inaccurate form, they will compare it against their computer printouts and disqualify you. Failure to completely and/or accurately record any of this information on your APD5 will not be excused by the hiring agency, and you will receive a disqualification notice with OMISSION OF PERTINENT FACTS checked off.

Click on the link below to hear further details regarding “Omission of Pertinent Facts”.
