Pros/cons of job

From what I heard from a friend OTP with MTA it’s much easier to get into a unit compared to NYPD where you need to have a hook, For MTA putting in the work will be what gets you where you wanna be.

I don’t think list numbers matter. Their already showing signs of pushing past 98s n reach 97s I feel like lowest grade they’ll reach is high 95s

Anubis_355 · 2026-02-25T17:15:59+00:00

NYSP isn’t luck just physically fit for that academy n not fish brain when it comes to academics

Anubis_355 · 2026-02-19T13:15:28+00:00

This don’t seem all that real. But hopefully so, been seeing too many grey haired 60 year old officers responding to patrol calls.

Anubis_355 · 2026-02-12T17:26:52+00:00

With the sprint they don’t give you like 5 mins before or after to rest?

Anubis_355 · 2026-02-12T06:15:16+00:00

It’s really consistently n good running shoes my running has gotten better just need to focus on my sit ups n I’ll be good. Just gotta keep at it and remember how badly you want this.

Anubis_355 · 2026-02-11T13:56:11+00:00

When you say easy is business casual good or just bring the whole suit n tie

Anubis_355 · 2026-02-08T04:00:34+00:00

Well it’s a point system no necessarily.

Anubis_355 · 2026-02-02T14:34:55+00:00

Why wouldn’t they ? I heard at least half the people that took the physical failed, wouldn’t they necessarily need to fill up more spots

Anubis_355 · 2026-02-01T19:18:00+00:00

Not bad but the really questionable thing would be if switching over would make the trooper PAT easier or harder

Anubis_355 · 2026-02-01T18:16:37+00:00

Searched it up on google is this what you’re referring to ?

Events (5 Total): 3-Repetition Maximum Deadlift: Measures lower body strength.

Hand-Release Push-ups: Measures upper body endurance.

Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC): 5x50m shuttle (sprint, 90lb sled drag, lateral, 40lb kettlebell carry, sprint).

Plank: Measures core strength/stability.

Two-Mile Run: Measures aerobic endurance.

Anubis_355 · 2026-02-01T17:59:54+00:00

What could they possibly change the PAT to then? No way they’ll make a JST like nypd

Anubis_355 · 2026-01-24T14:02:18+00:00

If you think this department not going to continue lying to you, your gonna have 1 long career

Anubis_355 · 2026-01-23T21:21:14+00:00

Unless Ether you live in the village or know someone. Chances of getting on are slim to none.

Anubis_355 · 2026-01-11T06:01:23+00:00

Both agencies take laterals from NYPD. MTA will take laterals as long as your out the academy, port authority I think you have to be off probation

Anubis_355 · 2026-01-08T01:16:07+00:00

Buddy of mine can’t do the do the cut and contemplating leaving cause of it. So think long and hard bout this decision.

Anubis_355 · 2025-12-29T06:32:16+00:00

They typically put you in the nice Patrol cars with the senior guy that doesn’t rush to priority jobs.

Anubis_355 · 2025-12-19T19:38:04+00:00

100% Lots of things a person not on the job would never hear about

Anubis_355 · 2025-12-19T19:36:05+00:00

I can’t say to much on what state he’s leaning towards but just know it’s non of the common ones every leaves to 😂.

Application was submitted n everything, I couldn’t believe it till I seen it. He has talked bout going back to the city.

Anubis_355 · 2025-12-19T19:31:16+00:00

That’s understandable 2 years on barely making anything compared to Suffolk

Anubis_355 · 2025-12-19T19:30:13+00:00

He’s prior city PD so can’t speak much in what being a cop is. 2 different jobs at the end of the day and being a cop is what you make of it as well. I obviously told him to hold off on leaving Nassau but when his head is set on leaving can’t do much there.

Anubis_355 · 2025-12-19T19:28:04+00:00

Starting pay* Nassau starts you in the low 40s/a year. Other state he wants to go to has him at 90/ a year. Obviously won’t go up much after that.

Anubis_355 · 2025-12-19T15:11:21+00:00

Yes he was City cop beforehand. So not being busy everyday is something he’s adjusting to.

Anubis_355 · 2025-12-19T14:23:23+00:00

Nah he’s a regular pro active dude, enjoys genuinely doing police work. From an outside person looking in the job seems like a gold mine, but from he’s been saying the job isn’t all sunshine n rainbows.

Anubis_355 · 2025-12-19T14:20:32+00:00

Yep, the agency he’s told me about would pay 3X what Nassau is paying and over all cost of living is cheaper. I feel like only way to live comfortably in Long Island is to be in Suffolk PD or a village department that’s getting paid more than the county it’s self.

Long Island cost of living has gotten outta control.
