It's a hit or miss but there have been December classes. Hope for a big class of 75 to make up for the down month this month. I know people who paid good money to study for a lieutenants test.

You must be promoted at least one day before the test is given.

I sure hope they don't have two down months in a row bc that would suck.

Oct 21, 2014
If they have two down months there is no shot I will make this lt test.
Shotsfired said
Oct 21, 2014
What number are you around ?
Squin17 said
Oct 21, 2014
1540. I need about 48 a class from December to April now that they skipped November. Slim chance.
Shotsfired said
Oct 21, 2014
I'm 1420s and I'm studying for the exam. Was hoping to get promoted no later than feb.

Shots fired you are good. Odds are two classes for you. At most 3. You have room for 1 or 2 more down month. So don't sweat it too much. Cross your fingers and hope for classes of 50 plus.
FYI they promoted the October 2011 BMOC early so they could take the exam. So it's a possibility that even if you make the April class you will take the exam. (You don't graduate early they will just give you your shield early)

Do you guys really think there's going to be a December class? Btwn Christmas and new years, do you think they'll put a class in during a month with 2 major holidays, and the biggest department wide detail? As much as I want there to be one I think there done with classes for the year.

I agree ...makes sense...i think this list is going to last until the summer...

To the guys who are THISCLOSE, for sure, it's very unfortunate that there will likely be no Nov class. There HAS been Dec classes in years past BUT because of the holidays...you have to operate under the belief that there will be NO DEC CLASS. Expect the worse and hope for the best.
tfguy said
Oct 22, 2014
Yea, I'm trying to be optimistic about it.
I was also thinking if they were going to have a December class they would probably put it in , the last week of November, so we would be out the week before new years. I don't think the department would care if we were in for Christmas, but for new years they'd definitely want all hands on deck. So fingers crossed.
Squin17 said
Oct 22, 2014
What about January classes. Do they usually have a class.
Squin17 said
Oct 22, 2014
So now that they are skipping November do you guys think they will skip another month before the lt test in April.

Unfortunately, I think yes there is going to be another down month between January and April 18. Just look at the history. In 2013 there was only 7 BMOCS out of 12 months. On average they skip a month every 2-4 months. As to January. Last two years they did have classes in January, but they were small. 2013 had 28 people. 2014 - 33.

Jan, Feb, March classes with a total of 163 names.

It is hard to gauge historical figures with bmoc classes because there is a new administration now. Several people I know say Bratton is all about promotions. He pretty much wants 1 and 4 as opposed to the usual 1 and 8 on the job. I personally have a very very good feeling about December. there is a capt class going in for a December bmoc, so that is a good sign for sgts.

The last LT test they promoted the cops in the database to sgt so they could take the LT test. Hope they do the same for the guys that may be in an April class.

A lot of people seem pretty sure that December won't be a down month. Is the idea that they normally only skip one month and not two an overall fact or just something guys made up?

This is where we stand with classes so far. HOWEVER, as you all know, the department can do whatever the hell it wants to do and so these numbers are just for you to look at. But these are the historic figures for promotions.
If December ends up being a down month too, then this year will have been the lowest total for promotions since at least 2011.
Something tells me you work in crime analysis. Lol
But a nice, useful chart! Thanks

You're very welcome, but for what it's worth, I gotta agree. You need to just chill a bit tfguy. When there is news, someone will post it, trust me.
Your time will be here soon. We were all in your shoes anxiously waiting to be called. I just got called in for October, you will soon as well. The time in BMOC flies by as well. Hard to believe in another week it's the ceremony.
