Can I become a NYPD Officer without a college degree?

All prospective NYPD recruits must have either 60 semester hours of college credit or two years of full-time experience in the United States Armed Forces. Those who do not meet these guidelines may be interested in the NYPD’s Police Cadet Corps. This work-study program places cadet recruits in paid NYPD support assignments while providing tuition assistance to help candidates meet the college experience requirement.

If you have questions or you have received a NYPD disqualification and would like to schedule a free consultation, please contact me at 516 248 0040.
