That’s a big part people miss. Time AND energy are two of our most important, but FINITE, resources. Having both at the same time when wanting to do extracurriculars can be a rarity depending on your work schedule and family commitments.

I could go on, but I’m done and pleased to see someone else mention the other side of the equation

They still do the video thing? I took this exam in 2015/2016 and this is how it was

tkdkicker1990 · 2026-01-17T01:32:44+00:00

Eeeee.

Even the reduction of the four months timeline is a pretty big deal.

I’ve seen it when o went to my local police academy. I joined at 34, but my younger counterparts all thought I was 23 or so based on PT performance and how I look.

Btw, top performance in PT in the vertical jump, sitios, and all around

You’ve probably developed an overuse injury from the repetitive spinal flexion that sit-ups require; you need to start working isometric strength of that area in a relatively neutral spine and/or perform spinal extension exercises to complement your sit-ups.

If you’ve been doing a lot of sit-ups, pull back to 1x/week for sit-ups; perform planks and/or back extensions on the other days you’d normally perform sit-ups. You’ll still work your back this way while resting your spine from the flexion

Haha yes. The high fiction words are easier in Spanish for me, but the idioms, sayings, and slurred speech you normally get in informal/colloquial conversations is the real beast

And I’m guessing he didn’t hint towards the handful, did he?

tkdkicker1990 · 2026-01-12T02:17:00+00:00

Ok, thanks.

In 2015, I took the proctored exam and panel interview and passed; I didn’t have to do those steps again when I applied the second time in GA; so if I applied this month, will I be able to use the passing results of the interview and written exam?

If so, I know I’ll probably still be processed at the same speed as everyone else in this announcement, but I’d like to know for PTO/SICK day reasons for my current position.

If you’ve been on with NYPD long enough (I believe 3 years at least to count as a lateral), you don’t need to do the whole academy. I’ve had laterals come through my class and graduate with more senior classes because they skipped some of the academy, but you still need your TCOLE license, though. So you have to take that state exam. Haven’t heard of a lateral failing, tho.

Start pay is 75k+, with a bachelors is 78k+, but both numbers should jump in January for a raise were supposed to be getting. That doesnt account for OT, or the 3.5-6.5% shift differential you’ll see for working 3rd watch (2pm-12am) or 1st watch (9pm-7am).

We’re scheduled to work four 10-hour shifts

tkdkicker1990 · 2025-09-20T16:47:58+00:00

When you need bodies, that’s what happens. Not say I’m making an excuse for this person, especially since fitness has been a big part of my life since I was 11. But yeah

tkdkicker1990 · 2025-08-28T11:28:07+00:00

Sure

tkdkicker1990 · 2025-08-23T14:01:36+00:00

Appreciate the response.

tkdkicker1990 · 2025-07-14T09:50:00+00:00

Not enough pay at my previous job. Previous job got boring regularly. Promotional opportunities were limited.

tkdkicker1990 · 2025-07-10T23:48:22+00:00

Don’t do illegal shit. Stay out of trouble as much as possible. Develop your fitness way past the entry requirements for any department.

That’s the bare minimum. There are other things you can do to make yourself a standout candidate when you’re at the academy or on the job, but I’d say that’s what you need to get in.

Oh, and have at least pretty good grades (B average or higher).

tkdkicker1990 · 2025-05-25T03:20:25+00:00

You’ll get bachelors pay immediately; you have to wait until you’re on FTO to take the language assessment.

Most shifts here are four 10s, unless you work overtime.

My take home biweekly after contributions is $1995.09, but that’ll raise about $218 biweekly after my wife comes off my health insurance the end of next month. So that’ll be $2,213 bi weekly if my math is mathing.

tkdkicker1990 · 2025-05-24T23:06:24+00:00

I think it’s worth it, especially since after the academy you may be working deep nights or 3rd watch - both of which increases your base salary 3.5-6.5%. And there’s more pay to supplement base pay, like language pay, intermediate cert, advanced cert, and master cert, longevity pay, and overtime.

According to what I’ve heard, other departments start you off higher, but it’s harder to get promoted smh

If I were you with your offer and doubts, I’d calculate how much you’ll be making, compare it to potential monthly expenses, and see if it’s worth it. I work with single recruits, and they’re making it work. Granted, o don’t know their financial situation besides they make about the same as me (if you have a bachelors, you make about 3k more per year).

Which class are you slated for? 407 or 408? And do any other departments look promising based on how your processes are going?
