But how will the guy with 61 make it then? I say put a Sgt and a Lt in every car. Supervision for supervision.

My command cant even manage two supervisors for one tour. Forget about Sgt driving a Lt. A lot of times I go out without a driver in a busy Bronx shithole.

That's a violation of our contract. Never drive solo. Even if you have to break up a sector. Our safety comes first.

Right. Except in actual transit you have no DV jobs and same old EDP locations you constantly coming back to plus there is overtime for everyone.

DetectorEfector · Member

Housing and transit shouldnt even be cops. You could get security guards to do their jobs. They dont do anything all day. If a job is too heavy the precinct handles. When they cant control their shit they have to send precinct cops (Transit OT, all out).

TransitCop · Senior Member

It should be a detail that you can put in for after 5 years of patrol.

DetectorEfector · Member

Oh yeah I deff put in to not see day light and hangout underground like a rat for 12 hours a day and kick out kids who dont pay their fare, drunks and edps. And ride around trains all day. standby by Ill be responding to that 13 with delay the J train is delayed. Sounds like a sick gig

Doesnt take long for TVB, second why not? Small amount of test takers vs a sergeant exam

Allout · Senior Member

It takes a while to finish the TVB. You figure about 2400 test takers and approx 800 attended the protest-each of them protest 5-10 questions. That is 4000-8000 protests to review. Lets say 5 lieutenants are assigned to the TVB, that can take 2-4 months, especially if they get off patrol for a while and make overtime off the TVB. Why would they rush lol

On the bright side i did hear mid to late August for a list.

Im sure it takes some time for the TVB to get finished. Im just wandering if there are really that many questions that were protested, I Know the session I attended was very empty. Not a lot of participation it seemed odd considering how terrible this test seemed and Im sure a lot of people just need a few points. Hopefully more people attended the other sessions.

I made up the 800 number. Just using it as a reference point. The less submissions the faster the process.

El Norte · Senior Member

How many years in Lt rank do you need to get promoted to captain? Please dont beat me up for asking. Just curious since hopefully we get a descent size list, that will make a difference on where people end up on the list being eligible if sone choose to take the next test.

NauseousPBBN · Senior Member

1 day in rank for test, 2 yrs for promotion I believe.

El Norte · Senior Member

Thanks for the info, I was really expecting to get beat up for the question. Many guys that took the test are at different points in their career. I tell my cops start early in this job is essential that you look ahead of time the years go by quickly and most here can tell you how important it is to see where you want to be when test day comes. Is funny how guys in the locker room will discourage others from taking tests and seeking a promotion, I dont want to be a boss because I dont want to get blamed for others mistakes and a thousand other excuses. The funny thing is most would not turn down a shield if it was offered to them on the spot. Especially with new contracts on all ranks.

This is now incorrect. This used to be the way. Read the notice of exam. It now states if you are on an eliigible list you can take the exam. You no longer need the 1 day in rank. My current command had someone who was recently assigned as new Lt. This Lt took the captains exam as a Sgt., how you may ask ? because the rule changed. I will find it and post it.

The 2 years in rank to be promoted still stands.

Its always said preferred list, but being on the preferred list is not the same as the actual list. For our purposes you need to be a Lt first

No, it did not always say that. I just told you, they changed how that works. A new Lt in my.command was able to take the Captains exam as a SGT and it counts. Look up and older notice of exam and it does not say the same wording at all.

Imagine being so confidently incorrect.

Being on the list does not make you eligible to take the next exam. That "Preferred List" deals with folks who resigned but have the ability to be rehired. Did you not even read what you posted as proof?

I heard from my source a date for the sgt list drop and a number of 4K, though he was crazy.he was right about the number and off by a week for the drop. About 1 month ago he told me our list about 1200 and will be august-September. Obviously not gospel but he was on point with the SGts list so hes good in my book.

Spanish mama · Guru

Nice. Whats the historical average of promotions to Lt annually?

-- Edited by Spanish mama on Saturday 8th of July 2023 05:34:56 PM

El Norte · Senior Member

Its been about 200 a year historically thats why you usually wanted to be 800 or below on a list give or take, after COVID normal went out the window.

Incorrect, I stated, twice already, someone of my current command took the newest Captain exam as a SGT because he was on the current LT list. How many times do i need to explain it.

Spanish mama · Guru

Is that person on capt list? Because if he just took it, means nothing. Yanosik was taking tests 10 years after here retired.

He is not because he didnt pass the exam. That is True.

nycop80, you've been around for a while and have been very reputable on this board but you are wrong. This has NOT changed and it has actually always been on the NOE's. It appears to just be something they have by default. I can't post the link, but google search exam 7532 (2017 lts exam). Says the same thing. I remember the 2014 lts exam and 2013 sgts exam said the same. Job has its own rules.

Also, some people register for exams and skip the system if dcas doesn't screen them. Your guy probably didn't get screened.

Many current Lt's just missed this past Captains exam because they weren't in rank. It happened to a lot of guys. You still need 1 day in rank. Im guessing you're in a unit and have been out of the loop for a while. Not knocking you or anything that's a great thing .. but that hasn't changed. We'd be seeing a TON more Sgt's on the Captains list if that was the case.

Alright, i guess it has always been there. You definitely right about job and its rules. I guess the Lt at my command probably wasnt screened . Makes sense .

I know weve been asking this question, but would your friend happen to have an idea as to the number of original passers? I know theres a reason why we still have to guess other things like curve, list release and throw outs, but original passers someone has to have that number.

Noice · Senior Member

We shouldnt have to guess anything. Everything should be publicly posted and explained. From original passers, to which questions were thrown out and why, to how many points each person got for what reason, to the curve, etc. Everything should be completely transparent.

They should have to explain how a person with a 57 is being promoted before a person that legitimately passed the test because of seniority.
