WRITTEN EXAMS

All police written promotional examinations comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the Civil Rights Act of 1991, and all applicable state and local statutes, ordinances and regulations.

Police promotional tests and exams developed and administered by our firm also meet generally accepted professional standards, including the American Psychological Association's "Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing" (1985) and the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychologists "Principals for the Validation and Use of Personnel Selection Procedures" (1987) and also meet the standards for testing required by each organization.

The security of police promotional written tests is considered a paramount concern. We make every effort to protect the integrity of our written examinations.

ASSESSMENT CENTERS

Law enforcement assessment center processes based on the Guidelines and Ethical Considerations for Assessment Center Operations are developed. These processes may include interviews, role play, written and oral and/or in-basket exercises.

Multi-component police promotion assessment tests are also developed and borrow from assessment center methodology. All processes are developed based on a thorough job-analysis and other data collected from the law enforcement organization.

Assessor training is mandatory for all processes and the number of hours or days of training is contingent on the number of exercises, and whether or not the  process is an Assessment Center according to the Guidelines or a process that only utilizes assessment center methodology.

STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS

The police promotional interview process focuses on competencies necessary for successful performance in the target position; i.e., organization & planning, leadership, adaptability etc. and situations that the promotional candidate would face in their new position.  Each  process is developed based on critical incidents that have been handled by incumbents in the position.

OUR ETHICAL PRINCIPLES

We ensure the strictest and tightest test security possible; e.g., we set up procedures to preclude candidates from sharing information with others who have yet to participate in the promotional process. No one sees the actual written exams until after the examination is completed.

We do not use law enforcement personnel from local agencies to help us develop material and assist with administration of our processes (which reduces costs), who may later participate in the same process for their police agency developed by the same consultant they worked with on previous processes.

We do not pre-train police promotional candidates to go through the exercises the day before the process.

If we use role players we ensure that the same role player plays the role for all candidates and that role players are fully trained for that role.

We do not pre-determine the length of exercises or time frames for each project before the job analysis is done.

We do not artificially keep the price down by calling a process an Assessment Center when it does not conform to the Guidelines and Ethical Principles for Assessment Center Operations.
