How To Ace The NYPD Oral Interview…

The NYPD oral psychological interview is a make-or-break moment in the appeal process. Kevin Sheerin and his knowledgeable legal team can provide you with valuable insight on how tol succeed in the interview, ensuring that you leave a lasting positive impression.

You should go into your Oral Psychological Evaluation expecting it to be very stressful. This challenging environment is done by design. You must realize that they are applying for one of the most important and stressful jobs, with many unforeseen problems that can and will arise. You MUST be ready, willing and able to handle these challenges in a quick, calm and professional manner.  Your Evaluator will be making the determination as to whether you are capable of handling the daily stressors Police Officers face. This determination is based on many factors, including body language, attitude and your responses to different questions and situations. You must be prepared both physically and mentally for your Oral Psychological Evaluation.

Helpful Tips for your Interview

  • Arrive Promptly
  • Dress Appropriately
  • Have a Good Attitude

When meeting with the Oral Psychological Interview Evaluator (smile, address them by name, speak firmly and clearly, maintain eye contact, extend your hand to offer a firm handshake and when invited to sit, be sure to sit upright). And, NEVER let your Evaluator see you frustrated, angry or crying. This is all part of the evaluation process to “test” your capabilities for the job. Remember, you are on a job interview, and it is your attitude, body language and responses that are being evaluated. You should present yourself as if you are already a Police Officer if you would like the Evaluator to see you as one. Finally, keep your answers short and sweet, unless your Evaluator asks you to do otherwise.

Why Did NYPD Psychologically Disqualify Me?

All NYPD Candidates must go through the Psychological Evaluation process, and some will receive a psychological disqualification. There are many reasons why a Candidate might receive a psychological disqualification. It could be that the NYPD Psychologist felt the candidate had psychological issues that would adversely affect their ability to effectively perform their duties. It could also be that the psychologist simply made a mistake. If you feel you were erroneously disqualified, you should appeal your disqualification in an effort to get a new assessment from an independent psychologist that can give you a more accurate assessment of your psychological makeup and possibly get your disqualification decision reversed. Candidates can receive psychological disqualifications for various reasons, such as poor stress management, anger issues, racial bias or many other issues that might deem them unfit for police work.

Kevin Sheerin is a retired NYPD Captain who specializes in Disqualification Appeals. He has more than 21 years of experience helping Candidates appeal and reverse their disqualifications. Candidates often feel overwhelmed by the NYPD appeals process. Kevin and his experienced team can walk you through the process, help you find a psychological expert and ensure that you make smart choices along the way.

Stressing over the NYPD Disqualification Appeal Process?

Are you determined to join the prestigious ranks of the NYPD but received a Psychological Disqualification? Don’t lose hope! Let us guide you through the steps of appealing your disqualification and provide you with valuable insights to maximize your chances of becoming an NYPD Police Officer.

The following is a break down of the disqualification process, which will shed light on the importance of appealing your disqualification and help you understand that you have the right to appeal that 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 an NYPD officer. If the NYPD has determined that you do not meet their standards, they will issue a psychological disqualification.

The NYPD Appeal Process for a Psychological Disqualification

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

How to Appeal Your NYPD Psychological Disqualification

To appeal your psychological disqualification, you may need to provide 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 of the evidence you present and make a final decision on your NYPD appeal.

Seeking Professional Assistance for Your Appeal

Appealing a psychological disqualification can be a lengthy and complex process, so you may want to seek the assistance of a qualified attorney and mental health professional (MHP) familiar with the NYPD hiring process. An experienced attorney and MHP 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’s important to know that you have options. By appealing this decision, you will be provided the opportunity to present 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.

Failing to Admit Minor Issues May Result in NYPD Disqualification

Failing to Admit Minor Issues May Result in NYPD Disqualification. One of the major pitfalls many candidates make is failing to admit to minor issues.

One example of a minor issue is doing poorly when you first enter college. When transitioning from high school to college, some candidates end up on academic probation. If you go to an oral psychological interview and deny poor performance in college, you will find yourself dealing with bigger problems then if you had just been honest. The interviewing psychologist already has your school transcript, so denying academic probation will only create a bigger problem causing you to be disqualified. Do not let fear and the uncertainty about how your personal history may be evaluated cloud your judgment – remember that honesty is always the best policy.

As a candidate, you should get your transcript before the interview so you know exactly what you did and when you did it. If you did poorly in the beginning, or at some point during college, it is better to say “I really should have studied harder and I regret not doing so”, than to lie. Your admission is always better than denying responsibility, or saying you don’t recall or saying that’s not what really happened.

You may have stressors such as work, transportation problems, problems at home or other struggles. The denial of poor academic performance is really unnecessary and will only get you disqualified.

The Interviewing Psychologist has your college records in writing, so saying you don’t recall or denying your record, or lying about your GPA will only lead to your disqualification.

Get the facts before your interview. Telling the truth and showing that you have remorse and have learned from your past struggles can only work in your favor.

As a civil service disqualification appeals attorney with more than 21 years of experience, I have extensive knowledge on how to appeal a NYPD Disqualification. Over the years I have helped many clients win their appeal. I can help you too.
