Police Assessment Testing: An Assessment Center Handbook for Law Enforcement Personnel

This third edition has been comprehensively revised, expanding the information in the previous edition by updating the preparation for effective performance in an assessment center process. Tra-ditional managerial policies still apply, with potential candidates advised in detail concerning the strategies for successful preparedness and participation in assessment testing. While the In-Basket preparation and process continues to be the backbone of assessment testing, this new edition offers additional information relating to performance knowledge including a fundamental set of rules and guidelines for participation. An entire chapter is devoted to developing performance testing strategies from a simplified written examination to the complexity of performing in a multilevel-multidimensional assessment testing process. This book presents the background evolution and the rationale needed by law enforcement to actively participate in this area for hiring and promotion.
