Hiring Status Update - 2008 Examination

The current eligibility list for the position of New York State Trooper is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2012. However, due to the current hiring freeze, the New York State Police will extend the list for an undetermined duration beyond May 31, 2012. When the hiring freeze is ended, a revised expiration date for this eligibility list will be established and will be posted on New York State Police agency website as well as this recruitment website.

Updated 1/23/12

In anticipation of an April 2012 Academy class, the New York State Police will be conducting candidate processing in February 2012, for applicants through the list rank of 2,403. Applicants whose application status is active and are in consideration should receive a processing package in the near future.

Candidates who were processed more than a year ago will need to be processed again. You will need to complete the "Attention Candidate" documentation package. Additionally you will need to bring any updates to documents that may have changed (e.g. college transcripts) since the original processing.

If you have been granted a deferment, but have not notified us of your desire to re-activate your application, you will not be eligible for this processing. If you would like to be considered for a future class you must send a letter requesting to have your application activated. If you attended a previous processing for the class and failed the physical ability test, you are not eligible to process for the April 2012 class. You may be eligible for the next class.

Candidates should keep their address, phone numbers, and email address up-to-date to ensure timely notification of hiring information.
