If you receive a Psychological Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD) from the NYPD you would have 30 days to decide whether you would like to appeal.

If you do not take action most likely this disqualification would affect your chances to be hired by other law enforcement agencies.

The good news is that the NYPD has begun a second psychological interview or an NOPD interview for some candidates that choose to appeal.

This second interview occurs at a different location with a different psychologist from the first NYPD doctor that interviewed you. Based on the initial doctor interview and your expert or MHP – mental health professional’s report this interview with the different NYPD psychologist has been leading to some success of people getting their Psychological Disqualification reversed before having to appeal to the Civil Service Commission. This is good news for candidates as you may succeed by appealing your original NOPD disqualification.

The NYPD has begun to reinterview candidates who have received NYPD psych NOPD emails.   This reinterview most often occurs at NYPD Psychological Services in East Elmhurst.

This is a video describing the NYPD disqualification appeal process.  Call 516-248-3494 to schedule a free, in office, consultation to discuss your history, the oral interview, and the 3 step appeal process.  You can also email me kevin@sheerinlaw.com or click the contact button above.

What are the best tips for doing well on an NYPD Oral Psychological Interview?

  1.  Cooperate by arriving on time and properly dressed.
  2. Show respect for the psychologist by addressing them as “Doctor” not Chief, Boss, Pal or Buddy which will get you disqualified for showing disrespect during an interview.
  3. Realize that the interview can be aggressive and your answers will be challenged.  The psychologist may loop back and repeat prior questions to ensure you are being consistent in your answers.
  4. Be forthcoming because deceptive answers can be more damaging than revealing answers that you think are problematic.
  5. At the end of interview you will be asked to provide authorizations for your school, medical and other records and if those documents contain information contradicting your answers you can expect a bad result.

If you are psychologically disqualified from the NYPD Police Officer title you will receive a Notice of Proposed Disqualification by email.  You have thirty days to appeal this NOPD.  You should hire an attorney and designate a pyschologist to help you file a rebuttal report which will be sent to the NYPD Candidate Assessment Division.

After your psychologist’s report is reviewed you may receive an email to come in for another interview with an NYPD psychologist.  During the interview the psychologist will review the reports prepared by the original NYPD psychologist and your expert.   You can expect to be questioned on any inconsistencies between the report and the problem areas found by the first NYPD doctor who choose to disqualify you.

This reinterview is an important step in the appeal process.

The best advice you can receive if you want to be an NYPD officer is to get your Certificates of Disposition from any arrests or summonses you may have received and your Lifetime Abstract from New York State Department of Motor Vehicles before your complete your Applicant Processing forms.

If you guess about any arrests you may have or moving violations or summonses you had you will receive a Notice of Proposed Disqualification-NOPD stating that you are disqualified for “Ommission of Pertinent Facts.”

The NYPD or other hiring agency such as, NYC Department of Correction or FDNY have access to all of this information and when you submit an incomplete form they will compare it to their computer printouts and disqualify you.

New York City’s Department of Administrative Services writes, administers and grades Civil Service Exams.
A Notice of Examination states the job requirements for a civil service title.
A Civil Service job candidate when filling out the application, which is often online, you should keep the job requirements in front of them as they fill out the forms.
You must write that you performed the specific tasks listed in the job requirements for at least the minimum amount of time listed for the job.
If you are not specific regarding the tasks you performed with the percentage of time you performed them you will be disqualified.

The first appeal is to the Committee on Manifest Errors. CME. You will be allowed to explain that you have the required experience as listed in the Notice of Examination but it still can be “too little, too late” result and you may receive a letter that your next appeal would be to the New York City Civil Service Commission.

You may want to take a photo of the tasks page as you fill it out in case of a software glitch.
Failure to write that you performed the tasks listed in the Notice of Examination will result in your disqualification.

Candidates for NYPD and Nassau County Police Department and other law enforcement agencies may not be aware that the oral psychological exam can be rough.  The examiner, most often a Psychologist, can use an aggressive questioning pattern to find out if the candidate can handle confrontation.  Also the psychologist may repeat previously asked questions to see if they are are going to be met with consistent answers.

The candidate may think to themselves that this is unfair and I’m not be treated properly.

The best attitude is to be prepared to be confronted during the interview and maintain your composure.
