Reasons an NYPD Candidate May Be Disqualified…

The following is a list of factors that may disqualify an NYPD candidate from becoming a New York Police Officer:

A Criminal Record: Felony convictions, domestic violence misdemeanor convictions, and certain other misdemeanors can lead to a candidate’s disqualification.

Military discharge: A dishonorable discharge from the military can also lead to a candidate’s disqualification.

Drug use
: If a candidate has a history of illegal drug use, especially recent or severe use, this can lead to a candidate’s disqualification.

Financial issues
: If a candidate has a poor credit history, unpaid debts, or evidence of fraud, these behaviors can lead to a disqualification.

Dishonesty
: If a candidate lies, misrepresents or omits facts about themselves and/or their history on the application or during the background investigation, such actions can lead to a disqualification.

Unprofessional behavior
: If a candidate has a history of disrespect for the law or a history of of violence or poor job performance, such history can lead to a disqualification.

Physical fitness
: If a candidate fails to meet the required physical fitness standards, this can lead to a candidate’s disqualification.

Psychological evaluation
: If a candidate fails the psychological evaluation, this failure could lead to a disqualification.

Medical conditions
: If a candidate suffers from chronic health conditions that are not managed, such as high blood pressure or severe asthma, these health conditions can lead to a disqualification.

The NYPD’s background check is comprehensive and includes reviewing a candidate’s criminal, employment, educational, and personal history. Candidates who receive a Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD) can appeal the decision. Appealing a NOPD can help a candidate, as it can demonstrate their character and ability to perform their duties as a police officer.
