NYPD, FDNY, DSNY, NYC Dept. of Corrections Disqualification Appeals

The disappointment and frustration of receiving a disqualification letter from NYPD, FDNY, DSNY or New York City Department of Corrections can be addressed by taking action rather than giving up. One of the great parts of New York City civil service jobs is the New York City Civil Service Commission. The process of appeals has improved dramatically over the more than 18 years I have been helping disqualified candidates appeal their disqualifications.

I have created this video to explain the civil service job disqualification appeal process.

Visit my website http://www.sheerinlaw.com  for more information about the disqualification appeal process.

Appealing a NYPD Character Disqualification

View Post

If you receive a NYPD character, NYPD psychological or NYPD medical disqualification feel free to call me at 516 248-0040 to discuss your case.

Appealing a Character Disqualification from the NYPD

I frequently get calls asking what disqualifies a candidate from the NYPD. The NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) is the personnel office for New York City and they make the rules for applicants for NYC positions.  On the DCAS website they list the following factors that may disqualify a candidate from the NYPD:

  • Conviction of an offense which indicates lack of good moral character or disposition towards violence or disorder, or which is punishable by one or more years imprisonment.
  • Repeated convictions of an offense which indicates disrespect for the law.
  • Discharge from employment as a result of poor behavior or inability to adjust to discipline.
  • *Dishonorable discharge from the United States Military.
  • Conviction of an offense for Domestic Violence Misdemeanors.
  • *A Felony conviction.
  • Statutory Disqualification (disqualified by law).
  • The DCAS website overview of the NYPD application process can be accessed by clicking on the following link: www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/careers/application_overview.shtml

A candidate that receives a disqualification from the NYPD or another law enforcement or civil service position can contact my office to see if an appeal would be appropriate.

I have been a civil service disqualification appeals attorney for more than 18 years. During that time I have helped many clients win their appeal. I can help you too.

New York City Civil Service Commission Appeals

If you are disqualified from a New York City job, such as painter, electrician, computer specialist or any other job, you can appeal.

Often your first appeal will be to the Committee on Manifest Errors- CME. If the CME denies your appeal, your next appeal would be to the New York City Civil Service Commission. You must create specific, fact based arguments with precise details such as dates, times, agencies or departments and tasks performed to satisfy the experience portion of experience and educations positions. Vague or incomplete information will result in a disqualification.

If you receive a notice to appeal to the CME or NYC Civil Service Commission, please feel free to contact us to discuss your case.

Mr. Harvey Randall, New York State Civil Service law scholar and author of NY Public Personnel Law  https://publicpersonnellaw.blogspot.com/ mentioned that the “three looks and you’re out” is a New York City specific rule and I thank him for that correction. 

The rule in New York City states:

Personnel Rules and Regulations of the City of New York

RULE IV – EXAMINATION PROCEDURES, VETERANS PREFERENCE, ELIGIBLE LISTS AND CERTIFICATION

SECTION I–GENERAL EXAMINATION PROCEDURES

4.7.4. Limitation on Certifications

No name shall be certified more than three times to the same agency head for the same or similar position unless at such officer’s request. However, only those who have been actually entitled to consideration for selection shall be charged with certification. For appointment to the position of police officer in the police, transit police, or housing police services, no name certified three times to one agency head shall be certified to another unless at such agency head’s request.
