May, 2023: “I hired the Law Office of Kevin Sheerin to appeal my disqualification for DCAS Custodial Engineer. DCAS reversed my disqualification!” – Bryan A.

April, 2023: “Going through a NOPD or DQ is a really stressful and daunting process. When it came time to go before the NYC Civil Service Commission, I felt confident having Mr. Sheerin represent me. My DQ was ultimately reversed.”  – Taylor S

March, 2023: “Kevin Sheerin is the best attorney for your psychological disqualification appeal cases. He definitely helped me pass my psychological interview with the NYPD. I highly recommend.”-Julio B.

February, 2023: “…I hired Kevin back in 2020 to appeal my NOPD… and it was once again denied. Kevin told me if I ever did the process again to call him. I told him I probably won’t…, but if anything I’ll call. Jump forward to 2022 and there I am in the process again. To my surprise Kevin never attempted to make money from me but rather reviewed my last NOPD and prepared me for my upcoming interview. I believe it’s with his words of wisdom and guidance that I was successful. His advice was important and yet simple that I was probably too arrogant to see. In the end it worked out for me by the guidance of Kevin and I thank him so much for keeping in contact with me even though he wasn’t seeking money, but rather to make sure I was able to join the NYPD.” – Aleem H.

If you have been disqualified for any reason and would like a chance to have your disqualification reversed, we strongly urge you to contact Kevin at 516.248.0040 to discuss any questions you may have about your NYPD disqualification.

NYPD Background Investigations

75+ Google Reviews for the  Law Firm of Kevin P. Sheerin

The NYPD Police Officer Background Investigation is a long and intricate process in which an Investigator will delve deeply into your personal life in order to get a full picture of who you are, including facts about your past and present relationships, and employment and personal activities. How long it takes depends on how extensive your personal facts are (i.e.: have you lived in many places or only a few, have you had many jobs or just one, etc.). Based on the facts discovered during the Background Investigation, the process can take anywhere from several weeks to several months or longer.

If you are applying for a federal law enforcement position, the Investigation process is even more extensive (i.e.: collecting fingerprints, completing Questionnaires for National Security Positions, polygraphs and a background investigation). The process could take a year or more, since most of federal law enforcement positions require the candidate obtain security clearance before they are deemed eligible for access to classified information.

Regardless of the law enforcement position you are applying for, you must be patient, as the background investigation is a lengthy process and you will need to remain at the disposal of the hiring agency until the process is complete.

If you failed your NYPD Psychological Evaluation or have been disqualified for any reason and would like to schedule a free consultation, please contact Kevin Sheerin at 516.248.0040.

NYPD Police Officer Opportunities

75+ Google Reviews for the  Law Firm of Kevin P. Sheerin

The NYPD, as well as other law enforcement agencies around the country are currently understaffed due to an increase in retirements and resignations. Some agencies are also struggling to recruit new law enforcement officers. In an effort to overcome these obstacles, some agencies are creating new ideas and incentives (such as signing bonuses and retention pay).

These incentives, in addition to the more traditional ones (i.e.: job security, excellent benefits and an opportunity for early retirement) offer more NYPD Police Officer opportunities and make this career even more attractive. These challenges for law enforcement agencies, offer applicants an excellent opportunity (and perhaps even some leverage), in successfully securing a position as a law enforcement professional.

If you failed your NYPD Psychological Evaluation or have been disqualified for any reason and would like to schedule a free consultation, please contact Kevin Sheerin at 516.248.0040.

Oral Psychological Evaluation – Useful Tips

75+ Google Reviews for the  Law Firm of Kevin P. Sheerin

Candidates should go into their Oral Psychological Evaluation with the expectation that they will find it very stressful. This challenging environment is not by accident; it is done by design. You must realize that you are applying for one of the most important and stressful jobs, with many unforeseen problems that can and will arise, and you MUST be ready, willing and able to handle them in a quick, calm and professional manner. Your Evaluator will be determining whether or not you are capable of handling the daily challenges Police Officers face, 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. The following are some basic tips you should keep in mind before, during and after your Evaluation: Arrive promptly, dress appropriately, have a good attitude when meeting with your Evaluator (smile, address them by name, , extend your hand to offer a firm handshake and when invited to sit, be sure to sit upright, not slouching). Moreover, NEVER let your Evaluator see you frustrated, angry or crying for any reason at any time, as 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, not theirs. 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 requests you to do otherwise.

If you failed your NYPD Psychological Evaluation or have been disqualified for any reason and would like to schedule a free consultation, please contact Kevin Sheerin at 516.248.0040.

How Your Psychological History Affects the NYPD Hiring Process

75+ Google Reviews for the  Law Firm of Kevin P. Sheerin

There are no specific mental health issues in your past that the NYPD would automatically disqualify you for. Each Candidate’s mental health history is considered on a case by case basis. However, all Candidate’s with a history of mental health issues, should be prepared to answer any and all questions about their mental health diagnoses, including past and/or present treatment(s), any therapy and/or medications they may have received, the circumstances and symptoms surrounding their mental health history, and how each of these items have affected both their past and present situation.
