good
As you rise through the ranks and work in different units, the job becomes better. As a uniform officer you face much adversity on the streets of NYC.

Great place go work for if you keep moving up and learning everyday
I had a great job but I wish the moving up the ladder opportunities came from in house or were easy to get to. The NYPD requires a good place in exams outcomes and then a transfer request and approval from current commands which sometimes if you made yourself an asset for this command... it won’t happen.

Great learning experience
While I was in college, I joined NYPD as a Police Cadet. They teach everything to become a police officer. I learned a lot there but unfortunately I couldn’t become a police officer.

My 25 years with the NYPD Terrorism group
Experience supervisor that are willing to train you probably and with patience.I learned interviewing skills from numerous Detectives I have worked with. Management was very well experienced and was equiped with the proper skills to assist the lower patrol and Detectives with investigations. I enjoyed the Brotherhood and support the NYPD had amongst the officers.

Great life experience
There is no such thing as a typical day in the NYPD. I have learned how precious life is over the last twenty five years. Management can be demanding and I have worked with some great people. It is very hard when a fellow officer is killed in the line of duty. This is offset by the support that is always given by peers.

Productive
I was able to learn numerous administrative skills as well as how to manage an office. Learning about OSHA and Quality Assurance was a plus. I was able to keep the office up to code.
