Becoming a dec officer is a three-year process that requires the completion of classes, field training, and work assignments.
Becoming a dec officer is a three-year process that requires the completion of classes, field training, and work assignments. The application process begins with your initial application and ends with your acceptance into the academy.
The initial application includes an essay on why you want to become a deck officer and tests for reading comprehension (written) and mathematics ability (calculator). These tests can be taken at any time after submitting your application but must be completed before you begin any further steps in becoming an officer. You will also need to take an interview test which covers general knowledge about police work, interpersonal skills, and ethics based on what they teach at the academy itself – this is meant purely as preparation for those who choose not to take college courses before entering law enforcement service rather than having no formal education whatsoever!
There is an application process, and you will be tested on your knowledge.
There is an application process, and you will be tested on your knowledge. You can start the application process by visiting our website, www.nypdrecruitment.org/apply/, to learn more about the department or call us at an open house event or career fair near you. Once you have decided that this is something that interests you, then it’s time to apply!
Once all of the paperwork has been filled out, submitted, and approved by HR (Human Resources), then there are several steps before applying for one of our entry-level positions as a Police Officer:
Dec officers must be able to read maps at high levels of detail and understand subtle spatial cues and viewpoints in low-light conditions.
Dec officers must be able to read maps at high levels of detail and understand subtle spatial cues and viewpoints in low-light conditions. They must also be able to make crucial decisions based on their observations of the terrain, weather patterns, traffic patterns, and other factors. If a dec officer cannot do this, it could result in accidents or even death for other road users. Decision-making ability is vital to keeping yourself safe from accidents occurring on roads around you.
You will be promoted once you’ve proven your ability.
Once you’re in, however, it takes a lot of work to get into the field. You will be promoted once you’ve proven your ability. This means passing a test of sorts and understanding topographical maps (or, if necessary, aerial photos). In addition to this basic knowledge, there are additional requirements:
Dec officers are responsible for patrolling all areas of the city, including parks, alleys behind buildings, rooftops, bus stops, and coroner and fire scenes.
As a deck officer, you will be responsible for patrolling all city areas. This means you’ll be in the field for long periods and exposed to dangerous situations. You’ll have to deal with the public and other officers who may need help understanding your position or what you do as a deck officer.
If this interests you, then read on!
A-dec officer’s duty day may vary based on the type of assignment they get (patrolling or acting as crowd control).

Patrolling is more dangerous. A person who patrols must deal with situations where there are cars, pedestrians, and other moving vehicles. They also have to make sure that people aren’t crossing against the light or crossing at all. They can also be involved in traffic accidents if someone needs to follow the rules correctly or if someone isn’t watching for cars coming from different directions at once when changing lanes in an intersection.
The pay is based on the amount of time spent patrolling.
The pay is based on the amount of time spent patrolling. It varies depending on your assignment and how long it lasts, but your base salary is $42.50 per hour. If you work 40 hours a week for ten weeks, your final paycheck will be about $4200!
In addition to their base pay, officers receive overtime for additional hours worked beyond 40 per week (which can add up quickly). This means that if an officer works more than 8 hours over two weeks straight without taking any breaks or notifying their supervisor first, they’ll get paid double time—and some departments even offer additional benefit packages like health insurance coverage or retirement plans at higher ranks within law enforcement agencies’ command structures.
