Failed the NYPD Psychological Test? – Now What?

80+ Google Reviews for The Law Firm of Kevin P. Sheerin

Failed the NYPD Psychological Test? – Now What?…

If you fail the NYPD Psychological Test you will receive (by email) a Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD) 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 experienced in the appeal process, 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.

Kevin Sheerin is an experienced civil service disqualification appeals attorney, with extensive knowledge on how to appeal your Disqualification. Over the years he has helped many clients win their appeal. He can help you too.

NYPD Candidate Disqualifications – Successful Appeals Shared

NYPD Candidate Disqualifications – Successful Appeals Shared…

The following testimonials are from several of our clients, 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 shared by the above Candidates who overcame their disqualifications, will provide you with valuable insight and motivation.

Understanding the NYPD Psychological Exam – Written and Oral

80+ Google Reviews for The Law Firm of Kevin P. Sheerin

Understanding the NYPD Psychological Exam – Written and Oral…

The NYPD written test is a full day of paperwork, administered in a group setting. When you go, be prepared to complete autobiographical questionnaires, symptom inventories, and two lengthy objective personality inventory measures.

The oral interview is a one-on-one evaluation with a Psychologist who will ask you questions about your educational, employment, psychological, medical and legal history, as well as your social relationships. You can expect a more in depth interview if the Psychologist believes there are areas of concern which require closer examination. The oral interview generally takes about 1 hour.

For both the written testing and oral interview, you should come prepared (bring a resume, transcripts, etc.). And, ALWAYS be completely open and honest.

NYPD Psychological Disqualification: Let Us Guide You…

If you have received a psychological disqualification from the NYPD, you may feel discouraged and unsure of your future prospects. But, you must understand that you have the right to appeal this decision. In this guide, we will provide you with everything you need to know about appealing your NYPD psychological disqualification.

Understanding the NYPD Psychological Screening Process

The NYPD has a rigorous screening process to ensure that all candidates possess the necessary mental and emotional stability to serve effectively as an NYPD officer. If the NYPD has determined that you do not meet their standards, they will issue a psychological disqualification.

The Appeal Process for a NYPD Psychological Disqualification

The good news is that a psychological disqualification from the NYPD is not final, and you have the right to appeal this decision. The appeal process involves presenting additional evidence that supports your case and shows that you possess the necessary mental and emotional stability to serve as a NYPD officer.

How to Appeal Your NYPD Psychological Disqualification

To appeal your psychological disqualification, you may need to gather additional evidence, such as medical records, letters of recommendation, and statements from mental health professionals. The NYC Civil Service Commission may grant you a hearing, where you can present your case and provide additional evidence. The hearing officer will review all the evidence presented and make a final decision on your appeal.

Seeking Professional Assistance for Your Appeal

Appealing a psychological disqualification can be a lengthy and complex process, so it may be beneficial to seek the assistance of a qualified attorney and mental health professional familiar with the NYPD’s hiring process. They can provide guidance and support throughout the appeal process and increase your chances of a successful outcome.

Conclusion

Receiving a psychological disqualification from the NYPD may feel like a setback, but it’s important to know that you have options. By appealing this decision, you can present additional evidence that supports your case and shows that you possess the necessary mental and emotional stability to serve as a NYPD officer. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and fight for your future.
