What to do if you fail the NYPD Psych Test

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

What to do if you fail the NYPD Psych Test…

In the event you fail the NYPD Psychological Test you will receive (by email) a Notice of Proposed Disqualification stating that you are psychologically disqualified from the NYPD Police Officer title. You have thirty days from the date of the NOPD to appeal. For a successful outcome, you should hire both an attorney and a psychologist who are experienced in the appeal process and who will help you file a rebuttal report. This report will be sent to the NYPD Candidate Assessment Division for review.

After your psychologist’s report is reviewed you may receive an email directing you to come in for another interview with a NYPD psychologist. During the interview the psychologist will review the reports prepared by both the original NYPD psychologist and your expert. You can expect to be questioned on any inconsistencies between the reports and the problem areas found by the first NYPD Psychologist who chose to disqualify you. This re-interview is an important step in the appeal process which should not be taken lightly. Be sure to hire a seasoned Attorney and Mental Health Professional who are experienced in this type of appeal process.

Realities of NYPD Candidate Disqualifications

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

The Realities of NYPD Candidate Disqualifications…

The following stories are from Applicants who faced disqualifications during the NYPD application process, but successfully appealed and ultimately overcame the odds:

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

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.

January, 2023: “I recently applied to become a police officer for the New York Police Department. After going through the process, I was scheduled for my first psychological interview. I received an email that I was disqualified. I hired Kevin right away when I received the rejection letter. I knew this could impact any future law enforcement hiring. He guided me through the general appeal process [and] figured out what likely caused the disqualification. Because of him and his staff’s experience I got a second psychological test opportunity. I passed and will be starting the academy. The appeal process has timelines and requirements that require an expert’s assistance and your willingness to follow their advice. The process takes a few months. I had to retake tests that I passed like the physical due to time lapse, but it was worth it, and so was hiring Kevin. He is your best chance at having a timely and strong appeal if you contact him right after the disqualification.” – Jason W.

Perhaps the experiences, challenges, and strategies offered by the above Candidates for overcoming their disqualifications, will provide you with valuable insight and motivation.

Negative Psychological Indicators NYPD Looks for in Candidates

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

A great deal of peace officer psychological research focuses on identifying indicators of dysfunctional peace officer behaviors. Many counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs) have been targeted in studies, including but not limited to excessive force, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, substance abuse, insubordination or other supervisory problems, embezzlement, deceitfulness, multiple motor vehicle violations, inappropriate verbal conduct, blackmail, bribery, theft, lying, kickbacks, personal violence, revenge, discrimination, and fraud. I discuss the NYPD psychological disqualification appeal process on my blog https://civilservice.sheerinlaw.com

Research has shown that counterproductive work behaviors are intercorrelated, indicating that those who engage in one of these types of behaviors tend to engage in other acts of counterproductivity.

Furthermore, when compared to non-problem officers, problem officers tend to exhibit more of the following characteristics:

– Aggressiveness, argumentativeness, and antagonism
– Antisocial tendencies
– Disregard for societal rules and laws
– Egocentricity
– Emotional instability/anxiety
– Hostility
– Immaturity
– Impulsiveness
– Insensitivity or oversensitivity
– Intolerance
– Irresponsibility/unreliability
– Lack of empathy
– Overconfidence
– Paranoia
– Pessimism
– Poor decision-making
– Proneness to alcohol abuse
– Rebelliousness
– Social introversion
– Suspiciousness, cynicism and distrustfulness
