More About Our Assessment and Testing Services
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.

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.
