The APD 5A form is the official personal history questionnaire for candidates seeking civilian titles with the New York City Police Department. Also known as the NYPD CAS-5A or CAS 67 form, it collects a wide range of personal information including identification details, citizenship status, residential history, employment background, familial connections, and social media presence. The document spans 24 pages and must be completed using black ink throughout.
Applicants must complete every field with precision and accuracy, leaving no question blank. The NYPD uses this information to conduct thorough background checks, ensuring that every candidate meets the strict integrity standards required for public service roles. Any omission or inaccuracy in the submitted record can result in disqualification from the selection process.
This questionnaire is one of several background documentation requirements for civil service candidates in New York City. You may also need a background check consent form to authorize the review process, or an employment reference check form for verifying your professional history. If you are applying in another state, the Texas Personal History Statement follows a comparable structure for civil service background documentation.
