IACP Workshop on Assessment Centers and Promotional Testing

摘要

Every professional police and public safety organization is faced with the challenge of developing fair, efficient, and cost effective methods of evaluating candidates for supervisory and leadership positions. At the same time, agencies must be concerned with developing procedures that meet professional standards and legal guidelines, that are valid and reliable, and that have been successfully defended when challenged in court. More and more, agencies are using the assessment center method, a proven technique in identifying the most qualified supervisors, mid-level managers, and senior police leaders.
