NYPD Streamlines Hiring Process to Be More ‘Welcoming’ to New Recruits
(DNAIINFO) Katie Honan — The NYPD is streamlining its hiring process for new police officers in an effort to be more “welcoming” towards new recruits, Commissioner Bill Brattonannounced at the swearing-in of the latest class of officers.
In a new system that will begin after the current class, the NYPD will offer one test per year and hire from that test — as opposed to the average three to four years the incoming class of 1,217 officers had to wait between taking their exam and entering the academy, he said.
