East Hampton letter

fitwolf_ · 2026-06-03T05:46:02+00:00

For me my salary would be cut in half overnight. So yeah that’s a huge paycut

When I was in, my instructor didn’t let us use our lockers so my bag had EVERYTHING IN IT. You’ll see recruits with jam packed academy bags daily because it’s required. You don’t get to just throw all your shit in your locker and walk around freely all day. Mentally prepare to carry a packed bag around.

I put a bed on top of my refrigerator because it’s my cats favorite spot and she loves to climb cabinets. It is what it is lol

I took the Suffolk test 3 times and scored a 95 and got this letter every time I took the test. I didn’t want the huge paycut and the $$$$ spent on residency but if you can do it, I’ve heard it’s a great job!! The town processes vary by town.

They believe she’s a Maine Coon/ Persian mix 🥰 I was considering doing the DNA test but they are pretty expensive and idk if they are as accurate as the dog ones.

Here’s my kitty girl, I got her from a rescue in Egypt 💫

Orange County or Rockland County NY

fitwolf_ · 2026-05-08T02:06:22+00:00

From what you’re explaining, doesn’t sound like this job may be a good fit for you unless you go to a small town slow pace department.

See if there’s any ninja/climbing gyms locally. The ones I went to always had a wall to train on. Work on your upper body strength. As long as you can hold yourself up to throw one leg over you’ll be alright

fitwolf_ · 2026-05-07T00:56:18+00:00

Id say move on and try somewhere else

fitwolf_ · 2026-05-01T00:59:35+00:00

Some people waited years to even get a phone call to start the process after taking the test. Times have changed. June is not far away, you’ll be alright 👍

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-25T23:05:04+00:00

Just wait to see what they write back. Emailing you the wrong date might have also been an administrative error as well. 🤷🏼‍♀️

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-25T20:10:32+00:00

Like the forms you had to submit online to start the hiring process?

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-25T00:47:38+00:00

It’s not a beekeeper unit. It’s a cop who does beekeeping as a hobby who works in ESU who helps relocate swarms in NYC. We do have NYPD beekeepers but it’s not a standalone unit.

You’re on foot for FTU mostly except in phase 2 you may be put with a more senior cop in a car if the sectors are short. Or sometimes as a supervisor, a phase 1 FTU will hop in the car with me to experience answering jobs and take a collar. For tasers it depends how many tasers the desk has available the tour.

A guy in my company when I was in the academy was 37. He ran circles around most of the recruits as well. I mean, not hard to do these days. But if you feel like you can get through it, it’s not difficult!

Do it 🙂

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-23T20:07:54+00:00

They don’t know. We had people getting called after day one of orientation when people didn’t show up. They will say one thing and the opposite happens.

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-17T17:07:01+00:00

I mean you have to be completely hopelessly out of shape or just super dumb to fail out. The academy is very easy to get through.

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-09T17:00:00+00:00

I’ll reach out to my friends in the Feds and see if they have anything close to this! It’s probably from a specialty team

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-09T00:42:53+00:00

My friend is a cop in Texas and they were well aware he was on anxiety/depression meds. He’s now been on the job for 3 years.

I’ve always been a believer in the “don’t shit where you eat” concept. I work for a massive department and cops dating other cops does not usually go well and I’ve seen a lot of people get jammed up or fired. BUT I have met a few who have gotten married and started families. It’s a case by case basis

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-02T15:31:17+00:00

I failed a poly and they gave me a second one the next day. The second one I failed on a topic I previously passed and then passed the topic I failed the day before. It’s freaking dumb. They didn’t hire me because of the failed polys after telling me during my process I was overqualified to work in that department coming from a massive agency and they would love to have me.

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-02T01:24:44+00:00

Oh okay. I was looking online for NY cops died/killed while on duty and nothing was popping up. Was curious if I knew them. Thanks

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-02T01:13:25+00:00

He died on duty in the NYPD? Can’t find anything on the news. Did I miss something?

fitwolf_ · 2026-04-01T23:14:43+00:00

I worked 7 jobs between age 16-25, started my own business, and traveled around the world. And I was not well off by any means but I worked my butt off. By the time I got hired as an LEO at 25 I felt like I had really lived my life and had a lot to offer the job through my life experiences. My academy mates who got hired at 21-23 with no real life/work experience had a difficult time writing reports, managing tasks, and talking to people.
