With computers in hand, NYPD officers are on a mission to get as many people as possible to take the city’s police exam.

The $40 fee to apply for police exam is being waived

The deadline to apply is May 4

Starting salary for a rookie officer is $40,500, chiefs make over $200,000

Blacks make up only 15% of the NYPD force

Can people over the age of 35 say they’re being discriminated against with the age cap? The LAPD is also recruiting and there is no age limit.

And why is the pay so low at 45k - who can live on that, especially when a NYC officer is in danger of being sued by locals. At the LAPD, cadets at the academy start at 75k and once the cadet graduates they make 80k.

The age requirements vary state to state. Its not set by the NYPD, but by NYS.

Bwhahaahahahahhahahahhahhahah

Only a total fool would **** themselves for NYC now. I hope this fails miserably.

Exam actually is low hanging fruit, it's rest of process including and especially background checks that weeds things down.

Even with all those now thrown out pot convictions people still have plenty of other things that cause disqualification based upon background alone.

Over years in great name of racial or whatever "equality" they've tried to loosen and or dumb things down, but just as with FDNY it leads to all sorts of people being hired that shouldn't. Then (surprise, surprise) stuff happens with such persons....

I was in the military for 7 years. I wouldn't bother with APD if the starting pay was $100K. Take a $60K (which doesn't even pass a basic rental aplication) arresting people but, you can't touch the 6% of the people that are responsible for well roughly 50% of the crime? No thanks.

School safety agent budget for 2022 scroll down to page 16

It shows the same amount of agents from 2021 does anyone know what this could mean in terms of another hiring class?

15% is a sizable amount. Isn't NYC around 23% Black?
