NYPD Psychological Appeals-NYPD NOPD Appeals

If you receive a NYPD NOPD psychological disqualification call (516) 248-0040 or email kevin@sheerinlaw.com to schedule a free in office consultation.

I have been helping disqualified candidates appeal their NYPD psychological, medical or character disqualifications for more than18 years. I can help you too.

I offer many opportunities during the course of your appeal to visit with me, and spend time with me in my office. The first opportunity is when you receive a Notice of Proposed Disqualification or NOPD.

I offer a free in-office consultation. I will meet with you to discuss your history and how the interview with the hiring agency’s psychologist went.  We will discuss the topics the NYPD psychologist focused on during your interview.  We will also talk about your history, including any arrests or violations, or any incidents or problems you may have had in school, at work or in relationships.

During the office consultation I will also explain in detail the Disqualification Appeal process.

This consultation usually takes approximately an hour. After such time, you will better understand the process and issues that will ultimately determine your case. I will let you know what I believe your chances are of having your disqualification reversed and what the next best step for you might be.

Once you file your NOPD appeal with your chosen Mental Health Professional (MHP), the NYPD is more frequently offering a second interview at 1 Lefrak City Plaza in East Elmhurst, Queens. These re-interviews are with a different unit, which is separate from the Candidate Assessment Division on 20th Street in the old Police Academy building.

If you receive one of these notifications I will prepare with you in my office, and we will discuss tips and tactics you will need to succeed, and how to avoid traps in the re-interview.  We will also discuss the key issues involved in your case so that you will have greater insight, rather than go in blindly into this re-interview.

During this preparation session you will gain insight into why the hiring agency believes you should be disqualified, and why they believe you are psychologically unsuitable. Gaining this insight will give you a step up in your appeal.

If you are unsuccessful or do not receive a second psych interview, you will receive a Notice of Disqualification (NOD).  At this point your appeal is filed with the New York City Civil Service Commission. Even at this second step of the disqualification process candidates are more frequently receiving an additional re-interview. If you receive an additional re-interview after the appeal to the Civil Service Commission, I will again offer you a preparation session in my office to discuss the process, and your best chances to succeed.

Once the NYPD submits documentation supporting their decision to uphold your disqualification, I request time to submit a Reply.  At this time, I will take the arguments the NYPD presented and reply to those contentions, as well as point out where they are exaggerated, misguided, distorted or just plain wrong.

After filing an appeal to the New York City Civil Service Commission some candidates are granted a Hearing before the Commission. If you receive this hearing I will prepare with you in my office for approximately two hours to again talk about the issues that are going to determine the outcome of your case. I will discuss with you the proper attire and grooming required when you attend the hearing.  We will discuss everything so you thoroughly understand the function of the New York City Civil Service Commission and what type of issues they would like resolved in order to have your disqualification reversed.

My standard fee for all of these services is $2500, which also includes a hearing before the New York City Civil Service Commission, if one is granted. This fee includes an initial in-office consultation and an in-office preparation session for every re-interview you receive and at least one 2-hour preparation session if you receive a Hearing before the New York City Civil Service Commission.

This is the same fee I have been charging since I began my practice, handling this type of work in 2003.

I believe meeting with candidates in person and spending time with them is crucial in deciding the best next step for a potential NYPD career or other job choices. Spending your time drilling down on the issues that form the basis of a disqualification with someone who has more than18 years of experience doing this type of work is crucial, as you will get a thorough, complete and accurate understanding of what you are facing.

In person consultations are imperative to your success. Phone consultations do not allow for a review of documents such as court dispositions, moving violations, college transcripts and CAS5 filled out during the application process. It is crucial to review Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and issues regarding ADHD medicines or work or school discipline, suspension or terminations to get a sense of your chances on appeal.

Everyone knows how life-changing a successful disqualification appeal can be for you.

Investing a small amount of time, money and energy, will provide you with the best chance of obtaining a successful future.

YOU MUST APPEAL NYPD PSYCH NOPD OR YOUR CASE WILL BE DISMISSED LATER

There is some confusion among candidates about whether they must appeal a NYPD psych NOPD (Notice of Proposed Disqualification).

To clarify, you must appeal a NYPD NOPD psychological disqualification at the NOPD stage or your appeal will be dismissed.

The Psychological Services Assessment section file may only be reviewed by a licensed health care professional. Your only opportunity to have your Psychological Services Assessment section file reviewed during this administrative process will be at this time.

IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BY THESE DEADLINES, THIS PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL UNSUITABILITY WILL BECOME FINAL. YOU WILL NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE YOUR FILE REVIEWED BY A LICENSED HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL DURING THIS ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS AND YOU WILL RECEIVE NOTIFICATION THAT YOU HAVE BEEN DISQUALIFIED.

If you try to begin your appeal, as many people would advise you at the NOD stage, the NYPD Legal Bureau will move to dismiss your appeal for failing to exhaust your administrative remedies and failing to have your psychological file sent to your Mental Health Professional (MHP) at the NOPD stage. Your appeal may be dismissed.

If you have any questions, and you would like to schedule a free consultation at my Mineola office, please do not hesitate to contact me at 516 248 0040.

NYPD Psychological Disqualification – 2nd Interview

There has been an increase in NYPD Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD) emails going out to candidates. On a good note, if you receive one of these emails the success rate following second interviews has increased recently at the NYPD Psychological Services Units located in Lefrak City in Queens, as well as the alternate location in Brooklyn.

You need to file a Disqualification Appeal in order to get this opportunity. When you receive the email, it will state that you have 30 days to appeal.

I offer free phone and ZOOM consultations for those who have questions about the appeal process and their chances based upon their history and the original psychological interview with the NYPD psychologist. If you do not appeal, your chances of winning an appeal later on in your life after another examination are greatly reduced.

The fact that there is an appeal process shows that hiring agencies can be wrong in judging character and psychological suitability of candidate. The appeal process also shows that a second interview with a senior or reviewing psychologist can find that the reason and/or rationale cited by the original interviewing NYPD psychologist was misplaced or wrong.

Also, a reviewing NYPD psychologist can find that the testing scores on instruments such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) have been misapplied or misused by the interviewing psychologist.

NYPD Disqualification

Your NYPD Psychological Appeal is your one chance to choose an expert and obtain your NYPD records.

I am a NYPD disqualification appeals lawyer for more than 18 years and have been assisting disqualified NYPD candidates who received either a Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD) for psychological reasons or a Final Notice of Disqualification (NOD) for psychological reasons from the NYPD.

On the NOPD letter, the candidate is given an opportunity to select an expert and have the NYPD psychological file sent to that expert for review and preparation of a rebuttal report. If the disqualified candidate does not respond to the NOPD the NYPD psychological file will NOT be released.

It is crucial that the disqualified candidate select a psychologist familiar with the appeals process to assist them. ONCE YOU SELECT AN EXPERT TO ASSIST YOU IN YOUR APPEAL YOU WILL MOST LIKELY BE UNABLE TO CHANGE YOUR CHOICE LATER.

Also, selecting a psychologist that the candidate formerly had a counseling session with is a poor choice.

As a civil service appeals attorney with more than 18 years of experience, I have helped many NYPD candidates win their appeal. I can help you too.

If you have questions about your NYPD NOPD or NOD and would like to schedule a free consultation at my Mineola office, please do not hesitate to call me at 516 248 0040 to discuss your appeal.

NYPD Psychological Disqualification Appeal

There is a two step appeal process…

The first appeal is to the NYPD who will review the appeal package you submit. In the case of psychological disqualifications you may get a second psych interview.

We are here to assist you if you receive a NYPD disqualification. Feel free to call (516) 248-0040 or email: kevin@sheerinlaw.com

If you receive a second psychological interview it is best to prepare with an expert. The main issues that will come up in the second psychological interview are obvious.

The next step in the appeal process would be a Notice of Disqualification (NOD) which would be appealed to the NYC Civil Service Commission. The Commission holds hearings to determine if your disqualification was improper.

When you are disqualified, that disqualification will NOT be reversed unless you choose to take action. I have been assisting disqualified NYPD, FDNY, DSNY, NYC DOC candidates for more than 18 years.

Each appeal is different, as your history of school, work and personal relationships is different.

I offer a free ZOOM, phone or in-person consultation. Please feel free to call me at 516-248-0040. I would be happy to speak with you, to see if I can help you with your appeal.
