The oral psychological interview is a make-or-break moment in the NYPD appeal process. This post will provide you with valuable insights on how to succeed in the interview, ensuring that you leave a lasting positive impression.

You should go into your Oral Psychological Evaluation with the expectation that it will be very stressful. If fact, this challenging environment 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. You MUST be ready, willing and able to handle them in a quick, calm and professional manner. Your Evaluator will be making the determination as to whether or not you are capable of handling the daily challenges Police Officers face. This is 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.

Helpful Tips for the Interview

  • Arrive Promptly
  • Dress Appropriately
  • Have a Good Attitude

When meeting with the Oral Psychological Interview Evaluator (smile, address them by name, speak firmly and clearly, maintain eye contact, 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. 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. 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 asks 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.

Understanding the NYPD Written & Oral Psychological Exam…

The NYPD written exam is a full day of paperwork, administered in a group setting. 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 test and oral interview, you should come prepared (bring a resume, transcripts, etc.). And, ALWAYS be completely open and honest.

Understanding the NYPD Hiring Process

After you have taken the exam, the NYC Department for Citywide Administration Services (DCAS) will generate your “list number”. Candidates who pass the exam will be given a list number as well as an exam score (meaning the higher your score, the lower your list number will be).

After you pass the exam, the NYPD’s Candidate Assessment Division will email you an invitation to create a NYPD Candidate Portal account. Through this Portal, you will be required to complete the Personal History Questionnaire, as this is where your assessment process begins. Additionally, you will be asked to prepare and upload additional documents through the Portal (which you can find at NYPD Candidate Portal (nypdonline.org)

When you go to your first interview, you will be required to bring and/or upload certain documentation. A list of the items you will be required to upload and/or bring will be listed on your NYPD Candidate Portal after you complete your Personal History Questionnaire.

You can expect the hiring process to take an average of 6 months to 1 year to be hired. In rare cases the process can take as little as 2 months or as long as 4 years depending upon each candidate’s situation. Your exam is valid for four years from the date your list number is established.
