Kevin Sheerin and his experienced legal team are here to provide aspiring law enforcement professionals with the insights and strategies needed to succeed in fulfilling their dreams of becoming an NYPD Police Officer. Kevin has more than 21 years of experience helping candidates navigate the challenges of the NYPD hiring process. This post will enlighten you about the first of many mistakes made during the application process and how you can avoid this mistake. If you are in the process of applying to the NYPD or are planning to apply, then this post is a must read, as these missteps can delay your progress, jeopardize your candidacy or even lead to disqualification. However, with the proper preparation and mindset you can overcome these challenges and stay on track in order to achieve your goal.
Mistake Number One: Not being honest on your application. This is the first and perhaps most critical mistake – not being completely honest on your application during the hiring process. The NYPD conducts thorough background checks which include looking into your work history, criminal history, financial history, school history, educational history and more. If there are any inconsistencies or omissions in your application, it will raise red flags that can lead to your disqualification. For example, failing to disclose a past arrest or summons, even if you think it is minor or was expunged is a major issue, as well as leaving gaps in your history, or not disclosing your unemployment history, or misrepresenting your education or failing to mention financial issues like defaults, bankruptcies or collections. The truth is, your application will be considered in a more favorable light if you are up front about your past, as any inconsistencies that are discovered will only hurt you. Transparency is key. Be honest, and if you are unsure about how to present something then you should seek guidance before submitting your application.
The 6 biggest mistakes NYPD candidates make during the application process are: 1- Not being honest on your application, 2- Poor preparation for the psychological evaluation, 3- Ignoring financial or legal issues, 4- Lack of preparation (ie: not doing your homework) before the oral psychological interview, 5- Missing deadlines or failing to follow instructions, and 6- Not seeking help when needed.
These missteps can keep you from fulfilling your dream of becoming an NYPD officer. If you have already made some of these mistakes DO NOT PANIC. There are steps you can take to recover.
