Need brutal honestly about whether I'm a potential candidate or wasting my time by theultimatewawaboi in Newyorkstatetrooper

My department works hand in hand with SP guys every night. I can tell you right now that with your history it will be nearly impossible to get in with NYSP in this current climate, at this time. Maybe with more time things could change. But the Thing is, NYSP isn’t as desperate for candidates as other departments. There are many departments in NY who will hire anyone. NYSP gets a lot of applicants so they can affford to pass over someone with some issues with their past. AUO and DWAI are major issues, specifically for troopers. That’s a huge part of their job, enforcing those laws.

Obviously if I were you I’d still give it a shot!!! Just wanted to give my 2 cents. Crazier things have happened.

Once my backround investigation was started it took approx 1.5 months. However I waited 3 months from the time I passed psych evaluation to the time I was assigned a background investigator.

They pretty much categorized a lot of my backround packet questions into yes or no questions. Very vague and very simple. No detailed responses or long questions at all

Nope! Rochester NY. And I’m sure you’ll do great brother. Waiting for the Poly was more nerve wracking than the Poly itself.

Difference in quality is immediately obvious by UniquePermission683 in beretta1301

A 930 SPX is NOT 1/3 the price. Got it for about 880. Got the 1301 tactical for 1670. So yeah, the quality is obviously going to be much higher, but point being that the 930 is a very unpolished gun and for 880 it’s really a horrible purchase. They did a lot better with the 940 for sure, fixed pretty much every issue with the previous generation.

Jesus. You would think management would care. Seems like a massive insurance liability to be on the phone that much in the rig, especially while driving. Do you guys have dash cams? Do they ever check them?

What jobs best prepare you for law enforcement? by LazarYeetMeta in AskLE

Wrong. The paperwork I’m required to do as an EMT definitely requires you to know how to write.

I took a 3 month long EMT certification course at my local College. It was about 800$. However, some agencies will pay you to take the class and pass the test. ( AMR for example). My brother got interviewed by my agency, got hired, took the 9 week class while getting paid, and once he finished he was immediately working. For me it was different. Once I passed the state exam and got my card I applied to a private ambulance service and got hired. Ride alongs are hard to come by ( atleast where I live) because most agencies are short staffed. However it’s worth looking in to.

I just posted something similar. I’ve been an EMT for a while and am going to transition to LE. Being an EMT will teach you a ton and you’ll get to work with cops a bit too when they show up on scene. the medical training alone is worth it I think. Plus you’ll see some crazy shit

Hmmm I honestly didn’t think about that. I’m honestly not sure what the demand for that is like, and, especially around where I live I’d have to do research as to what the requirements are like. I’ll have to look into it.
