First Step

Most NYC government jobs, including the position of New York City police officer, require taking and passing a competitive civil service examination by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS).

The NYPD Candidate Assessment Division will only accept forms from candidates who have successfully completed the written Civil Service exam. Upon a candidate's successful completion of the written exam, the department will notify the candidate to proceed with the form application process. The necessary forms can be accessed below.
