MTA PD PROMOTIONAL EXAMINATIONS CRAM COURSE ANNOUNCMENT

P.T.S. Announces Our “On-Target” ONE-DAY CRAM COURSE for the upcoming

METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY POLICE DEPARTMENT

 SERGEANT & LIEUTENANT PROMOTIONAL EXAMINATIONS

Much of your exam is open book.  That means that examiners (EB Jacobs) can and will – no guess work, we know this from experience – put together some of the toughest LAW questions to appear on police promotional examinations. 

Applying the SUPERVISION, ADMINISTRATION and LEADERSHIP concepts in the closed book portion of the exam will also prove challenging to test takers. 

Our course will contain comprehensive coverage of these "EXTERNALS". 

We will also cover selected MTA PD DEPARTMENT MANUAL "INTERNALS" that deal with referenced and/or difficult LAW and LAW ENFORCEMENT PRACTICE areas.

OUR COVERAGE AND MATERIALS WILL INCLUDE DIGESTS, BREAKDOWNS, CHARTS, QUIZZERS, PRACTICE QUESTIONS, ETC. COVERING:

  • TECHNIQUES FOR ANSWERING CIVIL SERVICE QUESTIONS
  • STRATEGIES FOR AN OPEN BOOK EXAM
  • SELECTED M.T.A. MANUAL SECTIONS (SERGEANT AND LIEUTENANT)
  • WRITTEN AND ORAL WORK SAMPLE POINTERS (FOR LIEUTENANT CANDIDATES)
  • PENAL LAW, CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW, FAMILY COUR ACT AND VEHICLE & TRAFFIC LAW
  • JUVENILE OFFENDER HANDBOOK (LOOSELEAF LAW)
  • SUPERVISION OF POLICE PERSONNEL (IANNONE)
  • POLICE LEADERSHIP (HABERFELD)
