"Thirty NYPD officers who were originally set to be fired from duty after it was discovered that their applications had been altered will be allowed to keep their jobs after all, amNewYork has learned. According to law enforcement sources, the NYPD reached a settlement that will allow the impacted officers to remain in uniform."
"The deal will require the officers to serve an additional 12 months of probation on top of the standard 24 months that all officers are required to complete 36 months, or three years, in total. The time the officers served on restricted duty will not be counted toward this probationary time."
"This comes after a back-and-forth between the department and the Police Benevolent Association (PBA), a police union, after some 30 cops were set to be kicked to the curb due to discrepancies in psychiatric evaluations, and hidden criminal records on altered applications. Sources reported that the disqualified officers managed to enter and complete the police academy because their application records were allegedly altered under the supervision of an inspector who has since been removed. As a result, they were able to graduate despite being initially disqualified."
