Hamlet, of course. Let's all take a moment to underline this or highlight it or whatever you do. Hamlet promises to avenge his father. He does, no fingers crossed behind his back or anything. Got it? Good. That's the moment the rest of the play hinges on, and it sets up the antic disposition business, which is the reason you're here in the first place. Hamlet comes back from this revealing rendezvous and swears his friends to secrecy.
The strengths of the NYPD are the potential to specialize in may areas (which may be done without making detective) and the relative fairness of the promotion process. The job is what you make of it and going for either Detective or Boss is the way to go for most. However, as it stands, it takes a minimum of 9 years to reach top pay as a Sgt. This is assuming the test is timed right, you pass it and are promoted at five years (the minimum time required in grade to make Sgt.). Those are BIG assumptions. Even if you accomplish this you will essentially make a cops salary until your 9th year. Detectives wait longer.
I was talking to my buddy Matt last night and found out that an NYPD officer can make 6 figures plus perks, and work towards a nice pension plan after 20 years. Starting salary is roughly 43k, while an officer with 5.5 years under their belt gets 91k.With overtime, that definitely puts them on a 6 figure salary. was talking to my buddy Matt last night and found out that an NYPD officer can make 6 figures plus perks, and work towards a nice pension plan after 20 years.
