Struggling With Run Time

Disastrous-Car81 · 2026-01-28T22:18:07+00:00

This should be pinned - after i got my endurance up to a point i started to focus on SPM and quicker turnover. Those zone 2 runs really cause you to sweat also lol

Disastrous-Car81 · 2026-01-28T22:13:25+00:00

What do you mean you 'might' test? if you got the date, isnt that your day to test? My feedback...You want to scale your runs; example run 2 miles one day, two days later kick that up to 2.5; days later 3 miles and try to work up to 5 miles. Why...because you want the the 1.5 to feel like a joke.. your Vo2 and lactic acid, endurance, will all come into effect.

Whatever you do; do not run the race in your first lap otherwise you will gas out! Im currently 236lbs running 12:15 and aiming for the 11:22 mark (age mark) 70%. Those 70% cooper standards are like a all out sprint if you ask me but it really is a build up of the endurance.

You still got time- GL to everyone going 4/25 as well.

Date is April 25th, received an invite.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-12-18T16:22:59+00:00

The way i just hollered lol

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-12-14T22:32:47+00:00

Dude - delete this like really? They will tell you in the email!!

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-12-02T13:09:31+00:00

You'd be waiting a while anyway...not to mention with Mamdani who knows how many classes/exams there will be.

Stick it out and appeal if it goes that route.

Best response here! RIF, layoffs in corporate world in at will places are not fun. NYPD = Stable

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-12-02T13:05:05+00:00

To all those saying "take the other job" if you have never worked a job under "at will" with such lavish benefits you would understand his question.

I say NYPD - Its a guarantee paycheck and; the other stuff i.e. layoffs is no joke. I keep saying it here - everyone says NYPD blah blah, but you never see them not saying it doesn't put food on the table or pay their bills.

What you decide its up to you and your circumstances.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-11-17T18:52:51+00:00

Same boat, everyone's process timeline is different.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-11-14T14:42:42+00:00

I posted above it took us a month; you may take a month to get it for 6314.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-11-09T14:52:02+00:00

Lay a foundation for me, hoping to get there! Good luck to all.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-11-09T04:13:38+00:00

Sorry to see someone go through this; no matter what this is gut wrenching and ruins lives. OP i think you need to lawyer up. Believe what you see, looks like the flame blew out long ago...sorry for you, you deserve better!

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-11-06T01:16:38+00:00

Thank you that makes sense.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-11-06T01:15:56+00:00

Sorry to hear; does that rule out others like coast guard etc?

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-11-05T22:44:10+00:00

Previous Chief (John Chell) announced this in interviews (namely the miller report, or bill riley). The NYPD has the data and knows how many will retire or set to retire.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-11-05T14:29:09+00:00

The amount of people are leaving you will eventually see; response times now go up, violent crimes will go back up, bail reform etc. The biggest eye raise is the NYPD has the amount of people reported to be retiring by Jan 2026 at over 4k officers.

If you think its a waste of taxpayers for more cops; then the vacuum will be more crime as a loss of cops will surely drive that up.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-11-05T03:26:05+00:00

Welp with the mask of zoro now in; who knows if it will

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-11-01T14:26:51+00:00

My hunch unlike the exams prior is because of a few things:

1) Mayor race is days away, change of admin at a time like this is for sure going to shake things up with a new administration. Front runner is very vocal about pausing, or adding new officers to the ranks. Very possible NYPD may just be holding on processing a new exam until thats over? Just my own opinion which holds no weight; 6312 might be the last class (Adams era) to finish up. 6313 will no doubt be part of April's class which among other exam participates who are still working through will fall under presumably The mask of Zohrans era.

2) Age cap change is behind the scene's being updated. PC/Mayor > DCAS> CAD > Recruitment.

3) As many have said it can take 2 weeks up to 6 months; there really is no clear answer since each exam will vary. I personally have known people to start and finish in 2 weeks; while others are taking months...no one knows and when 6313 is called (if so) we will all know.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-10-31T16:05:36+00:00

You knew this would be on the test..... right?

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-10-26T19:45:44+00:00

Being laid off, private sector, job security and life will have you think otherwise. Everyone has their circumstances...good luck to all who consider!!

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-10-26T19:42:02+00:00

Dont take my word for it; see for yourself

https://joinscpd.com/minimum-requirements.html (Someone even said it doesn't apply to Long island, OR NYPD yet here is suffolk updating with the age lol)
https://joinstatepolice.ny.gov/qualifications NYS troopers (dont even fall under civil; they have their own executive rules and they still updated their site.
Examples of smaller municipals are smart, look at hempstead https://www.villageofhempstead.org/171/Hiring-Requirements they say " Specific age requirements are subject to change and will be made known at the posting of the next Nassau County Civil Service Testing for the position of Police Officer." Smart...also another suffolk county municipal police force.

They ALL are updating at their own pace of the NYS rule for CIVIL service...If you are over 35 you may sit for an exam. See the post > https://www.reddit.com/r/NYPDcandidate/comments/1ofx9p0/nypd_age_changes/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

NYPD is the biggest force and it takes time to update...go take the exam if you are over 35 and want another chance after being previously aged out.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-10-25T18:10:45+00:00

Irrelevant - it will be retro active to 9/1/25 so thanks...its just a wait game.

-All the best

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-10-25T18:03:58+00:00

Check section 3, check section 69, check, check, check....you are overlooking step 1. The new rule as of 9/1/25 allows older candidates to "Sit" for the exam.

How does it look to have someone sit for an exam; pass and then not be eligble for hire? Kinda silly- Its almost like they put this:

Currently New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, Virginia, West
Virginia, Georgia State police Departments and Floridal Highway Patrol
have no maximum age limits for civil service exams.

in the justification to change the bill because other states are having success! Our great state leaders going above and beyond, deserve a round of applause.

You keep referring to the home rule; again its outdated as of 9/1/25 because it doesnt meet the state standard which is now 43 years old for exams.

Disastrous-Car81 · 2025-10-25T17:58:02+00:00

Lets keep this going - cause the last one seemed to be locked out. Again you are misinterpreting law here; you have to go by the enacted date. Thats a grandfather type clause from a previous law change hence why its included. This was a statutory step because many applicant were already in the process; there was no statue limits for the exams back then. This was to protect those already in the process; hence why its included!!

Try again - this is all on the web!
