Law Enforcement

Whether you are an administrator of a small town police department, larger city law enforcement agency, or college campus police department, it is important to have personnel who are psychologically qualified to do the job at the highest level of excellence possible.

The challenges confronting law enforcement officers are many. Each officer must possess the ability to effectively ascertain the potential for threat and violence in a variety of situations. The officer must be able to intervene decisively, responsibly and prudently with regard to the use of force. The personal safety of the officer and that of the public requires this, as does the credibility of the law enforcement agency that the officer represents. As an ambassador for the department that he or she serves, each officer needs to be an effective communicator who gets along well with superiors, fellow officers and the public at large.

Whether you are an administrator of a small town police department, larger city law enforcement agency, or college campus police department, it is important to have personnel who are psychologically qualified to do the job at the highest level of excellence possible. Conducting psychological screening of dispatchers, auxiliary, entry and command level applicants, as well as SWAT specialists enables you to do so.
