RISING STAR ! The ultimate source to ace your NYPD Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain Exam Visit www.RisingStarPromotion.com to order our questions specifically designed for maximum retention of the Patrol Guide--plus full-length exams!

I was just told the numbers for the next promotion will be:

13 Captains
42 Lieutenants
65 Sergeants

Hopefully with that many Lieutenants there will be a large November class for Sergeants.

I wonder if they'll go into the 400's with this class?

Chronic sick, not enough credits, or modified.

As far as i know those are the only things that can stop you.

And notifications come down on the wednesday before bmoc, so its a five day heads up.

when do you need to have your credits ready by???   what happens if your passed over for the credits...is it tooo late to put them in order???    or do you have till the list is over???    or are you sh!! out of luck??? will they tell you that your no good????

---

If youre passed over due to credits i believe you still have until the list expires/exhausted. I could be wrong...

The exam will be two years old in january. Plus you probably started studying a year before that. If you knew you needed the credits what the heck were you doing in the last three years?

 

do you really need patrol experience to be a good boss?........the answer is....no .you need to be a normal person and remember to not break the rule mentioned in another forum...ill sum it up for you...dont be a fu%^&* buff and make collars for guys when no one is looking!!!
a good boss knows when to leave something open to the squad and go get coffee and when to take action....being on patrol for a while does help w this buffy syndrome..
thank you

do you really need patrol experience to be a good boss?  all of the bosses I had on patrol actually sucked.  it wasnt until i got into a detail that the quality of bosses actually went up.  they knew how to take care of their guys, and they knew, in return, you wouldnt do anything foolish to get them or yourself jammed up.

guys like rumor mill, who are stuck on patrol have hook envy.

Yes being a patrol cop is better then being a detail cop for experience. Does it supersede the most important item, common sense? No, but its very important.

A detail cop like a crime guy might know how to shake skels down for drug collar or how to toss a car for a gun but do they know how to handle a 5 car accident with multiple people going to the hospital? Or know how to send reliefs to a hospital post? Hospital? Is that the place those patrol cops go to sit on my skel walkthrough? Or know how to handle a stabbing or a robbery with rounds discharged by the perp? All they know how to do is canvass for the perp and if they dont find them go 98.

I have a five year wonder sgt from transit that had her first job of an rmp accident. She called a senior sgt and asked him if he can do it since shes never done a par before.

How can you be a sgt if you dont know how to handle a par or how to properly draw up a 61? Heck, some crime/summons guys dont even know that we changed to new dirs a few years ago...

Also, if youre a rookie sgt and you get called to the scene of a doa by a 6 month rookie cop, who has no clue, will you know what to do? Will the 10 summons a day sgt, whos trying to remember the procedure from the book and who is smelling his first doa, know what to do? Or will the patrol cop, whos handled 5 doas solo in his career have a better grasp of what to do?

Can we stick to the most important topic ; can some one post a list of the people who are getting made. No one cares of what kind boss ones will make.

These bi-monthly bmocs are killing me. :(

Patrol and details two totally different things!  pushing paper don't count for the everyday stresses on patrol while you are in the bag!  Can I get a witness?

My source tells me that 65 will go in at the end of the month and that they will reach list #390

Good luck Intouch, hope ya make it this week.

RINGER I GUESS U CAN'T PASS THE EXAM. THIS TEXT IS NOT EASY BRO. UR A HATER IF UR NOT ON THE LIST , GET AWAY FROM THIS SITE.

Phil Atio Believe me, Iam not a hater. Ive been in a detail for years. And it seems to me you've been skating through this job because of your hook since you got on. You seem to be proud to ride someone elses wave. I know some people (hooks) myself and using them to get to a Pct i can understand but using them to get into a detail with 3 on is a mistake. You need to get out there and get hands on as a patrol cop to be a good Sgt. You seem to think a good boss is a guy who is cool and leaves you alone. I am not saying anyone wants a ball buster as a boss but being a Sgt by definition is someone with knowledge of not only the book but someone when they show up to a job they know how to handle it because they've been to hundreds just like it before. I gave up my detail and went back on patrol to do just that. Its not the uniform and the strips, its the knowledge and experience that makes you quaified.

anything come down today?

Are you guys serious? C'mon
Hes a five year wonder and tells a 15 year vet to sit on a DOA instead of the rook waaaaaa
Hes transit and can't do a PAR waaaaaaaaaaa
Hes a detail cop waaaaaaaaaaa with only 3 years on
WHO CARES?
As long as you get promoted and treat your guys humanely and with respect it will be fine
If (s)hes got only 1 year on patrol and now hes a P S help each other out and the favor will be retured. We all wear same patches. Lets not make it us vs them. We got enough problems out there dealing with you know what...
If (s)hes smart enough to pass the test (s)he smart enough to learn and adopt to new suroundings - I hope :)

Rumor Mill, FYI doing precinct conditions is not a detail.

I got off patrol and into a precinct-unit because of something I did while on patrol. I got to my first detail because of something I did while in that precinct-unit. I got to my second detail because of something I did while I was in that detail. I turned down a detail-sub-unit (detective track) because I didnt want to occupy a spot that someone who wanted it could take and get designated-detective 3rd, knowing I was going to be leaving for promo to Sgt.

Hook comment was tongue and cheek, although, I can guarantee if I wanted to go anywhere else, I could.

I just hope one day I am HALF the Sgt that you think you're gonna be.
