So I'm a little confused with the whole disclosure of arrest history.

I was arrested/detained when I was 16-17 years old for a misunderstanding that was immediately dropped. I never received a summons, didn't get fingerprinted (that I recall, this was 10+ years ago), and was released from the station within 2-3 hours without any hassle or them even calling my parents.
How do I inform them of this? It's not a conviction, and I'm not sure if it counts as an arrest or if it's even on my record.

I'm not sure what the next step is in this regard. Anybody have some insight and/or advice?

Same way how u just wrote that...tell them that. Mta don’t really care about background. It’s no time like police, fire or corrections... just be honest.

It will take a while to get a response, but might as well try for it.

When I took the FF exam I too had to explain the situation. I was arrested as a teen 13/14 yrs old in a school fight, some kids tried to steal my bookbag but because the cops saw us all fighting we were all taken to the local precinct, everything was dropped like your situation. I choose to list it in case they perform the background check and something comes up but what I needed was a disposition letter from the court (county I got arrested in) stating there is nothing under my name. That letter was necessary during investigations for me to pass

That's always subject to change when it comes to practicals and Holidays...

I wont get too far ahead though.

For some of my old jobs i can’t narrow down the exact months and i definitely can’t get my supervisors name or contact info (some of these are 15 years ago). Is this gonna be a problem?

[Ctrain24]

Anyone have the number for Livingston?

employment records from social security office, it gives you full detail and time frame of every position you've held on the books.

[njbk]

Also I’m assuming for off the books stuff should i just leave that off?

You would have to account for that gap if you’re going to leave them off.

I got that and paid for it but it only gives you the years and the amount u made each year and the employer's address. Not the time frame that you worked for each.

This was while i was in school is it acceptable to just put i was unemployed while in school? I don’t care about putting the off the books job but i was thinking it might make me look dishonest or something.

Yes, they just want to know what you were doing while you were unemployed. If you were in school they want you to put that down.

yes, the gaps in the middle they would have to account for. ex. living with my family unemployed/school/self employed. does the mta ask for exact months? I assume they only needed a range to show you actually held the jobs long enough to meet the NOE's criteria.

The pre employment packet asks for both months and supervisor name/phone number. 

[justmulah]

any update on the highest list # they called so far?

[JoseL1992]

Hey guy , for those that haven’t yet gone to pre employment but received the packets ... like mentioned above account for all gaps, if unemployed just write unemployed don’t give an explanation, I did they asked me to cross it out 

 

as far as the employers contact try googling they said they mainly care for the current and last employer so don’t stress over the contact info 

[njbk]

Thank you. 

Can anyone confirm the date of any upcoming pre-employment dates? Thank you.
