Everyone is going to hate me; and Im probably wrong but Im hearing the end of next week. August 24th/25th for a list.

On another beaten path topic, iMHO our testing process is flawed beyond salvation on so many levels. We need an independent entity to create a process thats not only transparent but measures intelligence, fitness, procedural knowledge, and basic decision making. This can be done but unfortunately theres no appetite for progress. We still operate like its 1947. Thats my rant. Lol

Anyone have an update on vacancies

Nyc5000 · Senior Member

Anyone know the number of Lt vacancies right now? This could wind up being pretty important for the new list if the budget cuts hold true.

TenFour16 · Guru

Vacancy update ?

Caralho · Senior Member

135 ish

Same as previous post

Nyc5000 · Senior Member

Got it, didnt realize that was such a recent post. Thanks

Fthisjob23 · Veteran Member

Should be more. We already have that many Lt promoted to Capt. Unless no Lt retired in the last 7/8 months.

Futureauxiliary · Guru

Im going to guesstimate 180-200 Lt Vacancies.

fodx · Guru

Thats 180-200 Sergeants still accruing chart days. The grass isnt always greener!

I miss my chart days, but then I take a look at my pay check and it goes away.

You and fiftyfouredp are ready for big leagues. Specifically, I would like to suggest a creation of instagram cop meme page. Your jokes are witty and crisp, an equivalent of that hey officer, my friend did it, can you arrest my friend? guy. Most importantly they are fresh material and never been used before.

Anyone have an updated numbers for vacancies? Just went back to 2017 thread and they put in classes of 50 back to back with only 80ish vacancies. I can see two to three big classes to close the gap then slow down.

Awesome. Love that this was stickied.

Spanish mama · Guru

hopefully will increase by at least 10 with next captains promotion.

3testwonder · Senior Member

Dcas has officially updated their site with list numbers

Spanish mama · Guru

how is it possible for list not to be release for over 9 months, but the site gets updated on December 31st?

passfail · Veteran Member

Spanish mama, how do you do on this list?

Spanish mama · Guru

under 210

fodx · Guru

The more those positions are filled the more people lost their chart days. Sad

passfail · Veteran Member

Thats amazing, congrats. How long do you think they'd take to promote to list 200?

Happy New Year to everyone from my buddy the Janitor.

Arrow · Senior Member

Anyone here correct me if Im wrong. When you go to the DCAS site and check your promotional exams it says that this current Lt exam has an established date of 12/20/23. If you click on the little info button it says that this was the first date the department started hiring from the current list. Did someone get secretly promoted and they started the clock on the list? Did anyone else noticed this one the site? Unlike the 2017 Sgt. Exam, it says established 1/24/18 because thats when the first class started.

Spanish mama · Guru

mine only has, date of when the list was established, which is 12/20/23

NauseousPBBN · Senior Member

As someone else has pointed out, we believe the department had full intentions of promoting off the new list for the last promotion and decided the readjust the list instead.

Nypd2532 · Veteran Member

Yes, DCAS established this right away instead of publishing it. The list was actually complete on 12/20 and for some reason it took 8 days to be made public. Typical. Established means the 4 year clock is already ticking. The expiration date for the exam is 12/20/2027.

Futureauxiliary · Guru

Maybe DCAS tried to establish the list for the 12/22 promo but failed as usual.
