NYPD Disqualification – Must first Appeal to New York City Civil Service Commission

A police officer must first file an appeal with the NYC Civil Service Commission before filing an Article 78 under the doctrine of “exhaustion of remedies.”

A hiring agency may disqualify a candidate up to three years after hiring the candidate.  The three year limit does not apply if fraud was used in the application process.

In the instant case the Appellate Division, First Department dismissed the Article 78 because the candidate failed to appeal to the New York City Civil Service Commission before filing the Article 78 lawsuit.

Increasing NYPD NOPD Appeal Success at Second Interview

There has been a sharp increase in the percentage of candidates appealing their NYPD NOPD psychological disqualification, and subsequently succeeding at a second interview.

Law Office of Kevin P. Sheerin

But, before you can get a second interview you must appeal your disqualification.

It’s good to get the facts before you act.

I am available for a phone consultation, a zoom conference or FaceTime. We can discuss the facts of your history, the appeal process for NOPD appeals (“step one”), including what occurred in the oral psychological interview, tips and tactics and how to avoid the traps in a second interview, the process for filing an appeal with the New York City Civil Service Commission if you do not succeed at step one, how to present the best case to get a hearing before the commission and how to succeed at a hearing before the commission.

CURRENT CLIENT REVIEWS AFTER SECOND INTERVIEW:

NYPD Psychologically Disqualified Candidates MUST Appeal upon Receipt of Notice of Proposed Disqualification-NOPD

Disqualified NYPD Police Officer candidates who receive a letter called a “Notice of Proposed Disqualification” (NOPD) and who were disqualified based on psychological issues must file an appeal within 30 days! Failure to file a NOPD appeal and designate an expert to receive your file and prepare a rebuttal appeal report will result in having your case dismissed by the NYC Civil Service Commission. You MUST file your appeal within 30 days of receiving the NOPD. If you file an appeal AFTER receiving a Notice of Disqualification (NOD) from the NYPD Psychological Services Section your case will be dismissed.

NYPD Psychological Disqualification Appeal – NYPD Psych DQ

New York Civil Service Attorney Law Blog | Law Offices of Kevin P. Sheerin

If you received a Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD), you can appeal. I offer a free consultation for NYPD Psychological, medical or character/background disqualifications. Please call 516-248-3494 or email me at kevin@sheerinlaw.com to arrange for your free consultation. There are two factors that are crucial in your disqualification appeal. The first is following the appeal process. The second is the facts of your case.

It is vital that you consult with someone experienced in this appeals process. Appealing the NOPD on your own may cause you to miss out on opportunities to make crucial arguments that can turn the appeal in your favor.

Law Office of Kevin P. Sheerin

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY CHARACTER DISQUALIFICATION SUCCESS STORIES I HAVE ACHIEVED FOR MY CLIENTS:

N.Y.P.D. POLICE CANDIDATE WAS DENIED DUE TO HIS DRIVING RECORD –
The Applicant was a NYPD Police Candidate. Due to his active status in the military, the candidate was unaware he had infractions on his driving record and could not resolve them immediately due to deployment. I presented this case in front of the New York City Civil Service Commission and established that when Appellant became aware of the infractions, he reported them consistently and credibly. After further consideration, the Commission reversed the disqualification.

NASSAU COUNTY CORRECTIONS OFFICER WAS DISQUALIFIED FOR BACKGROUND REASONS –
A Corrections Officer candidate was denied by The Nassau County Civil Service Commission because of his failure to finish school, as well as his prior private employment issues and arrest record. I represented the client and put together a compelling argument stating that the candidate had turned his life around and worked very hard to get to where he is today despite past circumstances out of his control. After reviewing the appeal argument, the Commission rescinded their disqualification for the Applicant.

If you would like a chance of becoming a success story by having your disqualification reversed, please feel free to call 516-248-0040 or email me at kevin@sheerinlaw.com to discuss your NYPD Psych Review and/or NYPD NOPD Psych DQ appeal.
