Suffolk County is Hiring
- EAST ISLIP, N.Y. - The exam isn't until Saturday, but 29,300 people apparently have already done the math. With a starting salary more than double that of the nearby NYPD — and potential patrols on sandy beaches or quiet suburban streets — tens of thousands of potential recruits have plunked down a $100 entrance fee to take the Suffolk County Police Department entrance exam.
- It is believed to be one of the largest numbers of applicants to ever sign up for a police test in the United States.
This flies in the face of recent hiring trends for police jobs nationwide. One has only to look at the drop off in applicants for the CPD to see that big city police jobs are rapidly becoming among the least desirable around. Funny how big cities seem to be hotbeds of liberal social programs and declining interest in police jobs.

not many want this job and when the college kids get it they use it to get more education paid 100% by the tax payers and then the smart ones leave! maybe if the kids in college study harder and get better grades they will not even consider daleys criminal enterprise at all!
It's so sad, knowing that CPD is one of the highest paid (large cities) in the nation, but are scrambling for applicants.
What gun can I carry there?

I think you meant: "declining interest in police work."
Why does NYPD start at like 25k?
Who can afford that?!
Remember the days when we competed against 30,000 other people to get this job.........
aplication fee? check. plane ticket? check. baggage? check. make sure time due slip is in? check.
yep im ready to go take the test. enjoy the rest of your life as CPD. lol
I knew around year 2 here that I was doing 10 for CPD at the MOST...then its off to a quiet burb. 10 here, 20 elsewhere, leaves a nice little pension.
boy you are strecthcing to make a point on this one ...enought of the social commentary already ...i don't even know what the fuck you are talking about anymore ....everything is a fucking conspiracy w/ you SCC !!!!!
Go hangout w/ Mankow
In the 80's and early 90's the Chicago Exam was always over 30,000. I f I'm not mistaken the test in 91 had over 40,000 applicants
Suffolk Co. encompasses the eastern suburbs of NYC, directly across the Queens city limits. Many NYPD officers already live in Suffolk Co.
Any young NYPD officers who did NOT take the exam should have their heads examined.
JUST FOR THE RECORD THE CPD IS NOT ONE OF THE HIGHEST PAID IN THE COUNTY OR THE STATE FOR THAT MATTER. BUT WE ARE PRETTY CLOSE.

Now they are lucky to get 5,000 and some of them are not qualified! Why would you after college work on this dept? They are always looking to fire you and now with the king taking over ops with father flaky and jackson helping to appoint how will the chips fall?
Look at some of the names being promoted lots are connected it don't matter if you work or not it is and always has been who you know or blow? I am tired of not being promoted someone tell me who to blow I promise to do a great job!
