CLICK HERE for a list of Police Supervision, Management, Leadership and Administration textbooks recommended for consideration for police promotional testing from Police Sergeant through Chief of Police. 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.
