Sounds like I'd be a good fit! LOL
So are you suggesting JCPD instead? How about NYPD then?
No , i was saying how the NJTPD and PAPD always seem to think there above the JCPD / NYPD when there not. There wannabe cops and there bad at it....most Employees and Rail / Transit fanners have a general opinion on that...
You could go to their headquarters, there is one in Fort Lee NJ, and inquire. A friend of mine just graduated with his Bachelors in CJ as well, and he tried to apply there, but they were not hiring. They are one of the few agencies that didnt suffer as many cuts as other departments because they are so vital. They patrol all the ports, bridges, and tunnels, and all points of entry into NYC (like bus stations), not the WTC. They patrol on both the Jersey and the NY side, as well as on the Philadelphia side at the port over there. They also patrol Port Newark.
Headquarters for PAPD is in Jersey City at the Port Authority Technical Center at 241 Erie Street, right near the Holland Tunnel.
You could probably contact them and find out when the next police test will be. A lot of their work is traffic, since they handle the Hudson River crossings, but they are also at the airports, since they are run by the PA and also the PATH system. PA police are also in the NY/NJ state police departments. Sometimes if one of the border cities--Jersey City, for example, is hunting down a suspect that may flee into the city, they'll call a PA cop to accompany them because the PA cop will have authority in either state. 37 PA cops were killed at the WTC on 9/11/01.
They don't handle the Jersey side of Philadelphia. That's way out of the PA's jurisdiction.
I worked at the Starbucks in Fort Lee for 5.5 years, right off the bridge. The PA cops used to come in to get coffee and apple fritters and stuff, and one morning one of the cops who I knew was telling me about the jumper they had the night before, and I looked up to say something and he had whipped out his phone to show me a picture, of the poor son of a ***** who jumped, and his broken face and brains all over the rocks. So screwed up. I was so jammed up for the rest of the day. I could never deal with that kind of stuff...
Yuck. A dozen or so people jump off the GWB every year, a few more off the Staten Island bridges.
That doesn't look too good. HMM, and what sucks is that can't work for NYPD while living in NJ. I need to think about this. Before I was thinking Fed level law enforcement, but they often ask you to relocate depending on their needs, and that's no good for me, I wanna stay here.

NYPD has very low pay.
I would just apply to everywhere you can. A cop is a cop is a cop more or less.

tell those 37 PA cops who died on 9/11 how "wannabe" and "bad" they were. shame on you.
you do realize that you have to live in nyc to be nypd right?
at 45k the most rent you'll be able to afford (following the 40x rule) is $1125. Good luck finding a place in nyc at that rent that isnt public housing (projects) or in a warzone.
