RE: RUMORMILL

This notion that the city makes money on these tests doesnt make sense to me.

Even if 20,000 cops pay $110 to take an exam.

Thats $2.2 million. The city budget is $88 BILLION! For 1 year.
The test revenue would be .000025 of the budget.
Thats like someone making $100k finding $2.50.
Its nice. But doesnt make a difference.

Thats not considering: union proctors, Im sure the school union has some requirement on staff presence when their buildings are used, printing the test, and a million incidentals.

The price they charge for the test probably covers all the prep work and materials needed to have a test to begin with.

If anything, the current financial situation probably lends itself to extending the list. No one in city hall wants to hear about police promotional exams right now, for both the concerns about the virus and because **** us. You guys are delusional if you think people like Jumanee Williams are sitting there going "damn we got all this **** going on right now, but what about a new sergeant test?". They are looking to cut back as much as possible, plus they lazy, so why would they want to start planning a new test? Might as well promote off the old list for as long as they can.

The lack of a test right now is due to lack of places to administer an exam with proper COVID protocols.

I think this is the most logical. I do not think the test will be extended. I do think they arent even considering a test because they arent even sure how they would administer it in COVID times.

I agree. The City can't even figure out how to open the public school system correctly. With everything going on, another test or even promotions is not a priority.

I called uniformed promotions two weeks ago to ask if I needed anything else to be cleared and they said they were not up to me yet but all the lists are being extended since Dcas wont put people together to write a new one no idea if thats accurate but it is what I was told.

I asked a few friends in Cad this week about academy class. They all said def not because there hasnt been any mini medical since before July. Those mini meds expire after three months so unfortunately no class going in.

There is no ****ing way in hell they will wait that long to promote.

This is not true. I received this through a WhatsApp message a few minutes ago. I promptly reached out to my old admin LT who is now at OMAP. His reply was quick and simple. B.S! He said OMAP is in the dark like we are. This all comes die to budget and approval from city council. This message is just like the one we saw not long ago about the chief of department resigning and the commissioner too and the major shakeup of the bureau chiefs. All we are doing here is keeping the C.O OF THE RUMOR DESK very entertained.

Anyone know of the headcount as this is a big indicator but it seems guys and girls are leaving in droves and its 1 sgt to 8 or 12 cops. I do not believe any can say for sure how far this list will go.

Someone told me that Shea apparently said that patrol failed during the looting and blamed Pichardo. No idea if thats true.

I just read the post article, it blames city hall. The truth will come out eventually.

Anyone hearing 10/21 new academy class 1200-1400 recruits?

Truthseeker · Guru

Yes a new class is going in. No number yet. Could be 1300 or 1400. Again doesnt have anything to do w promos. But its certainly a good step

crap · Senior Member

That's great news. Let's hope it doesn't get cancelled again.

BROOKLYN77 · Senior Member

Is the academy class confirmed, or just hearsay?

IamTheLaw · Senior Member

It's going in on the last week of October. The size and logistics were still being finalized thanks to lots of moving pieces in the department. Whether if it's 1 big class or 2 smaller classes three or more months apart is what's still being worked out. Promotions should also be continuing somewhere between January and March. Leaning more toward January. If I get anything more concrete I'll let you guys know. But thankfully I no longer have to be cautiously optimistic because the class is a go!

Truthseeker · Guru

Hearing class will be lower number 600 to 700. But its really changing everyday.

gmen18 · Senior Member

thanks for the info guys. it is appreciated, please keep it coming

Posting for you guys that are waiting, this is the email address you can ask about your extension. Make sure you write which list number and exam in the email. All eligible Lists expiring this year and next year have been extended by a year. I would assume promotional lists will follow suit. It does not hurt for anyone to ask. Good Luck!
