RE: September Class

SATCOM · Senior Member

15 pages of retirements today. I guess everyone is jumping ship with all of the B.S going on.

Haterinyou · Veteran Member

OOOOhhhhhhh as I write this we have just been informed by computer school superviisor that she was told to get ready for a big class coming in for September!

IhatePG212207 · Veteran Member

AWESOME!

IhatePG212207 · Veteran Member

Does anyone know up to what list number they cleared??

SKELLGEL · Veteran Member

Did they give a number? Im assuming 75 is a large class.

20yrSentence · Senior Member

Does cleared mean education requirements only or cleared of everything?

Haterinyou · Veteran Member

Very large class is 75 but she said Verrrrryyyy Larrrrgggee Cccclllassss

brat4914 · Guru

80

Detox · Senior Member

This is great news!

SKELLGEL · Veteran Member

So the difference between a large class of 75 and a "Verrrrryyyy Larrrrgggee Cccclllassss" is 5? lol

IhatePG212207 · Veteran Member

So the 275 remaining names should be done by December if they continue this.

TiNmAn · Senior Member

Brat Is that inside info or a guestimate?

DV Doldrum · Veteran Member

SSSSHHHHHH!!! Do you hear that??? It's the clock ticking down until the last time we have to take a collar or write a summons.

Haterinyou · Veteran Member

Ha ! So you think. Told that starting Sept. New weekly activity sheet that we have to scan into a system so all the brass can micromanage cops some more. If you ask me , next they will expect Bosses to make collars and write summonses to make up for the lag.

Detox · Senior Member

Hahaha, that would be great! I would take all the ground balls and kill the city in overtime! I don't see that happening. maybe the summons but it will be tough.

brat4914 · Guru

i dont like to guess

HIGH600s · Senior Member

so 80 is the number Brat

Detox · Senior Member

Could the number be 100? A small class is about 40-50, a large class is about 70-80 so could a vvveeerrrryyyyy lllaaarrrrgggggeee cccclllllaassss be 80-100... On a serious note, the number will probably be around 75-85. I don't have any inside information but I can't imagine they put a class of over 85. Also if they decide to also promote Lt, the number of sgts would decrease as well. I have heard another Lt bmoc class will be going in either September or October. Not sure of the number but I would imagine at least 20. Lets keep all the rumors coming! Where is that guy that said no promotions after Feb.??? Guess he was wayyyy off!

brat4914 · Guru

80

HIGH600s · Senior Member

I just found this sight...WTF...Where have i been...This is so much more convenient then waiting for the damned finest and counting...

What does it look like after the september class

DV Doldrum · Veteran Member

I haven't written a summons in 4 years and I don't plan on starting again. HAHaaaaaaa!!!

Haterinyou · Veteran Member

Just informed that they will be putting 80 for Sept. Another 80 for Oct and then undisclosed number at end of Oct and promote those upfront in time for Lieutenant exam!!!!!!!! Yikes. That same lieutenant came into class yesterday and whisked approx 4 people out to sign up for 9:25:25 AM exam. Guess can't say the job never did anything for you.

DV Doldrum · Veteran Member

Wow - I guess I'll see everyone at class.

Blackberry?? Lol

HIGH600s · Senior Member

Hey Haterinyou...What do you think the cut off will be?

SKELLGEL · Veteran Member

They are up to 499+80 september=579+5 passover 584.
584+80 october= 664+3 passovers=667
667+35ish is approx. 700!

Quagmire · Senior Member

So the list will be complete by December like everyone is saying.

brat4914 · Guru

Haterinyou............you are 100% correct - they are making a big move to get as many cops promoted to sgts as they can in time for them to take the lt exam.

20yrsentence.........my blackberry does the same thing and it drives me nuts !!

I'm glad they are doing that - but the only baffling thing is, since when does the job care if anyone is eligible to take the test or not? With or without the extra 200 eligibles, there will still be a lot of people taking this test.

IhatePG212207 · Veteran Member

Is this confirmed or just hear say. This is unprecedented activity!

brat4914 · Guru

IhatePG121207.........confirmed

unborn...........go figure, who knows ! who cares! just go with it !! smile

20yrSentence · Senior Member

How do u know the passovers?

Detox · Senior Member

Passovers are just an estimate. There has been about 5 or so Passovers each class since the list has started.

Nypdblue · Veteran Member

Labor day ? For sept class??

HIGH600s · Senior Member

Do you guys think I should study...Im in the 690's.

If I have the opportunity, I dont want to half ass it. I would do 4-5 hours a day from now till the exam. At the same time I dont want to study hundreds of hours for an exam that I wont be eligible for...

Study!! What do u have to lose? If u won't make it, u have a head start for next time.

Quagmire · Senior Member

"Head start" for 2015!

crimegirl · Member

High600s, don't look at it that way. Even if u don't make the exam u will be brushing up on sh** your gonna have to know anyway. So study. It can only help. :)

Kev12345 · Veteran Member

Is it possible for the department to keep promoting at this rate next year also? I am taking the Oct exam and Im just trying to gage how long it will take to get promoted depending on how I score

SKELLGEL · Veteran Member

You can't really gauge...There are way to many factors like economy, cop to sgt ratio, amount on list, retirements, movement, budget, lawsuits... Its pretty safe to say that if you score above an 83 you will be out no later then a year from today...Anything lower is unpredictable.

Haterinyou · Veteran Member

High 600's you will certainly be close but still closer than you we're a month or so ago, no. I would study those class lessons and go to not one but two cram sessions. If you wait any longer then I won't even bother. Really study and if you don't make it then you can sleep better at night knowing it was being your control. One of the class instructors says: "Don't wait for a raise,...Take it!"

DV Doldrum · Veteran Member

High600s - I'm in the same boat and didn't think it was remotely possible that I would be made before the exam. Now that there is a chance, I will be putting in some time, but not going crazy. Cram courses start in Mid September, we should hopefully have some more info on how many they expect to be Pre-Promoted, helping us make a decision on spending countless hours studying and some coin on the crams...
