Background/Character, Psychological, and Medical Evaluations

Although the written and physical fitness tests are vital components of the NYPD process, candidates must also pass the following tests:

  • Background and character investigation
  • Oral psychological assessment
  • Medical evaluation

Candidates must be successful in all three of the above checks in order to make it through to the next round. Character checks may involve contacting previous employers to determine if a candidate was a good employee who would make a good NYPD team member, as well as determining whether or not a candidate has the ability to demonstrate good judgment and the further ability to resist aggression or other inappropriate behaviors.

Candidates will also be screened for drugs and alcohol, as the NYPD has a strict drugs policy and candidates will not make it through if they fail a drug or alcohol screening test.

If you have questions or you have received a NYPD disqualification and would like to schedule a free consultation, please contact me at 516 248 0040.

Is it Easy for a NYPD cop to get Fired?

When the Civilian Complaint Review Board (“CCRB”) substantiates allegations of misconduct against a NYPD member, it can recommend the following types of discipline, in descending order of severity:

  • Charges and Specifications are recommended for the most serious allegations of misconduct. Charges launch an administrative prosecution in the NYPD Trial Room. An officer may lose vacation days, be suspended, or terminated if he is found guilty.
  • Command Disciplines are recommended for misconduct that is more problematic than poor training, but does not rise to the level of Charges. An officer can lose up to ten vacation days as a result of a Command Discipline. There are two types of Command Discipline, Schedule A and Schedule B. Schedule B is the more serious of the two.
  • Instructions or Formalized Training are the least severe discipline, often recommended for officers who misunderstand a policy. This determination results in training at the command level (Instructions) or training at the Police Academy or NYPD Legal Bureau (Formalized Training).

The decision is based on the officer’s disciplinary history, CCRB history, performance evaluations and the seriousness of the misconduct.

When the Board has recommended Instructions, Formalized Training or Command Discipline, the case is sent to the NYPD Department Advocate’s Office to impose training and/or other penalties. Cases where the Board recommends charges are prosecuted by the CCRB’s Administrative Prosecution Unit.

CCRB complaints and discipline are recorded in officers’ personnel records and can affect assignments and promotions.

How To Pursue An NYPD Disqualification Appeal

If you were disqualified as a candidate for a law enforcement or other civil service position for psychological reasons, the first thing you should do is hire an experienced and qualified disqualification appeal lawyer, who thoroughly understands the appeal process and will examine your particular case to determine whether or not you have grounds for a  psychological disqualification appeal. In addition, you will need to hire a Mental Health Professional who will evaluate you and then negate any negative findings reported by the NYPD psychologist.

As a civil service disqualification appeal attorney with more than 18 years of experience, Kevin has helped many clients win their appeal. He can help you too.

NYPD NOPD PSYCHOLOGICAL DISQUALIFICATION-PICK YOUR MHP CAREFULLY

If you receive a NYPD NOPD psychological disqualification you must interview the psychologist you want to hire to represent you or face severe regrets afterwards.

There are psychologists charging very low fees to represent disqualified NYPD candidates in psychological disqualification appeals which may seem like a great chance to get reinstated to the NYPD Police Officer eligible list. What is not revealed is that these psychologists will report that you are NOT PSYCHOLOGICALLY QUALIFIED for the position of police officer and mail a report saying that as part of your appeal.

THEREFORE;

Before hiring a psychologist to represent you in your NYPD NOPD psychological disqualification appeal you should:

  1. Ask the psychologist what their fee includes.
  2. Ask will they let you know if they are going to write a report that agrees with the NYPD that you are “psychologically unsuitable”.
  3. Ask to see the report before they send it.
  4. Have them agree upfront that they will not send the report if they cannot support your candidacy.
Law Office of Kevin P. Sheerin

Sometimes a great price may generate the report that prevents you from ever being a law enforcement officer. If it imperative that you ask these questions in advance to save yourself from heartache as a result of a terrible psychological report.
