NYPD psych disqualification reasons encompass a broad spectrum of concerns identified during the psychological evaluation process, including, but not limited to, arrest history, driving record, employment and educational background, interpersonal and disciplinary histories, substance use, and the outcomes of psychological tests.

A psychological disqualification occurs when candidates are deemed unfit for service by law enforcement agencies due to factors unveiled during these evaluations. These factors can include such things as a negative or derogatory history in any of the following areas:

• Arrest.
• A poor driving record.
• Employment.
• Education.
• Interpersonal.
• Disciplinary (at work or at school).
• Substance use, including the use of alcohol, psychological and/or psychiatric history.
• Problematic written psychological test results.
• Past use of psychotropic medications.

Such disqualifications can significantly derail aspirations of serving within agencies like the NYPD, necessitating expert guidance to navigate the appeals process. Mr. Kronenberg collaborates closely with forensic psychologists who specialize in addressing the complexities surrounding an NYPD psychological disqualification. This partnership aims to provide targeted support for candidates, ensuring they receive the comprehensive help needed to challenge and potentially reverse disqualification decisions.
