NYPD Disqualifications – Why Was I Disqualified?

An NYPD candidate can be disqualified from a law enforcement position for a number of reasons, such as:

Psychological issues: Which include anxiety, depression, anger, poor judgment, poor impulse control, poor stress tolerance, poor interpersonal skills and substance misuse, just to name a few.

School records: Candidates can also be disqualified for having an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or having taken ADHD medicine while in school.

Other factors: Racial bias, poor presentation, immaturity, and failure to adjust to adulthood are other factors that can lead to a candidate receiving a disqualification.

The NYPD’s psychological exam is designed to assess a candidate’s emotional and psychological fitness for law enforcement. The exam includes both a written test and an oral interview. The written test consists of questionnaires, symptom inventories, and personality inventory measures, while the oral interview is a one-on-one evaluation with a psychologist. 

If you have been disqualified, you can appeal the decision by hiring an independent psychologist to assess you.
You may also want to explain that what happened while you were in school is not your current state or condition. In any event, you should take some type of action in order to avoid having the disqualification become final, as this may affect your ability to get any other civil service jobs in the future.
