Custom, Online
Written Promotional Exams For Law Enforcement
Agencies
We offer low cost and
legally defensible written exams and assessment center services, and we specialize in the
advanced Situational - Concept Written Exam for small agencies.
Promoting the candidate with the best study
habits and memory should not be your goal - you want a candidate
with the best knowledge, reasoning, problem-solving and decision-making
ability instead. That's where our Situational - Concept exam comes in -
it reveals who among your candidates is most likely to be the best
supervisor or manager, not who is the best test-taker.
We believe typical multiple-choice exams,
although popular, are fundamentally flawed.
Because multiple choice tests must present the
candidate with the answer as one of the choices, the test is really more
about memory, study habits and test-taking ability, not decision making.
The Situational - Concept exam is written
by a veteran law enforcement professional who has applied the subject
matter and is familiar with the position being tested for (i.e. the
Subject Matter Expert). Our exam writer is a 27+ year veteran ranking
officer who has held almost every position in a medium sized agency. [bio]
Each question on the Situational - Concept
Exam presents:
-
A SITUATION, with a
description of who is involved (citizens / police personnel)
-
A PROBLEM that has
arisen out of the situation
-
The problem specifically
involves a CONCEPT in the chosen textbook(s) or
department policies, legal guidelines, etc. that is deemed important
to the position by the Subject Matter Experts
-
A DECISION that is
made by one of the police personnel at the scene.
The candidate is then asked the simple
question, based on the textbooks and policy or law studied, "was this
decision correct?"
Each question is a recreation of what each
supervisor does every day - analyze situations and make decisions.
Nothing could be more job-related than an exam that measures exactly
those qualities.
Seems simple, but it is not. In case after
case, candidates find the exams much more difficult than typical
multiple choice, and unqualified candidates score lower, simply because the correct answer, the "hint," is not
listed among the responses. The candidate must be able to read and
analyze the problem, then correctly apply what they know without the benefit of any visual clues.
We encourage our agencies to apply a time
limit to the exam, to further show which candidate has the best ability
to correctly analyze problems, quickly recall supervisory and management
concepts while under stress, and / or apply department policy and state law.
If your agency is serious about giving a quality,
professional, cost effective and highly job related promotional exam,
consider a custom Situational - Concept exam instead of one of the "off the
shelf" multiple choice exams you can purchase elsewhere.
To help you decide, we would like you or
someone from your agency to take one of our past exams online, no cost or
obligation.
Just email your request to us using
this link, using a department or government email address, include your
name, position and office phone, and we will forward you a link, name and
password to log in and take a 50-question online Situational - Concept exam
from the popular police promotional textbook, Supervision of Police
Personnel, by Iannone.
Because each of our exams are custom written, not
"off the shelf," none of the questions you receive will be duplicated in any
future exam given by your agency.
