The application period is now open for New York’s entry-level law enforcement civil service exam.
“New York’s law enforcement officers provide the essential services that keep our schools, our neighbors and our communities safe,” Governor Hochul said. “Starting [Wednesday], New Yorkers looking to make a positive impact can apply for the free civil service exam to join their ranks and continue our work to make New York the safest place in the nation.”
The exam is required for those applying to law enforcement positions at the DEC, State Parks, and SUNY schools. The exam is also used to fill positions in Municipal Police Departments and Sheriff’s Offices.
There is no cost to take the exam as application fees are waived through December 2025 due to an agreement reached in the FY 2024 State Budget.
Applications are open now until 11:59p on August 14.
Applications can be made here.
