If you are in the hiring process for a NYC Civil Service job and you would like to find out when your eligible list expires:
Dial 212-669-1357
Press 2
Enter your social security number
The DCAS help line will tell you when your list was established, and when it will expire. The expiration date is usually 4 years after the list was established or promulgated.
If you received a NYPD Disqualification letter you will need approximately one year to complete your appeal process. You must move swiftly to complete this process. You should write to your investigator and request that action be taken on your file so you have a sufficient amount of time to appeal if you are disqualified.
I have been a civil service disqualification appeals attorney for more than 18 years. During that time I have helped many clients win their appeal. I can help you too.

If you want to become a NYPD police officer the first thing you must do is get your Certificates of Disposition to review any arrests or summonses you may have. You should also get your Lifetime Abstract from New York State Department of Motor Vehicles before completing your Applicant Processing forms.
If you were ever suspended in school, you must disclose that fact. Your investigator and psychologist will ask for authorizations to find out if you ever had any school disciplines. When they get the reports from your school/college that you were suspended, you will be disqualified if you did not disclose that up front, and will most likely have an unsuccessful appeal.
Beware of psychologists who charge you a very low fee, tell you they will help you and then do a superficial interview, as they may simply use the NYPD’s testing to confirm that you are unsuitable, and then send a report to the NYPD stating that you are unsuitable, without ever telling you. If this happens, not only did they not help you, but they have destroyed any chance you had of ever becoming a NYPD officer.
