Oh man that video was great... Ive been trying to find out how to apply for a mechanic position with that unit for a while... anyone have any idea how?
I believe you have to be a police officer first like the pilots. Put your time in on the streets and hope there is an opening in the unit. And they like you and you qualify.Quote:

NYPD Aviation does not hire civilian A&Ps. All MX personnel are Police Officers. Every flight has an A&P onboard acting as a Crew Chief. It is very hard to get in without a big hook. I have a friend who flew for a 121 commuter operation for 4 yrs and has been an NYPD officer for the last 6 yrs and is just getting his nod.
the two guys i know in the unit did thier time on a regular beat just like anyone. one of them, 11 years in east new york and downtown manhattan.Quote:

the pilots are also civilians. they fly with at least one sworn officer onboard who operates the cameras etc.Quote:

And the flight medics are from Stony Brook University Hospital. What about Nassau? I know the pilots and AEMTs are POs but what about their mechs?
The A&Ps for NCPD are MOS. I know a guy in the 4th PCT who has been looking to get in for a while. Again it is very political
