Course Description

Damage prevention and control are key responsibilities of Police Chiefs everywhere, as all bucks ultimately stop at the Chief's desk. We cover six key regulatory constraints that make Chiefs' jobs more difficult, and present a template for addressing each of these issues using a data-based empirical strategy for managing liabilities when making new hires. / / 1. IACP Guidelines for the use and content of the Post-offer, Pre-employment Psychological Evaluation. / 2. ADA guidelines to prevent discrimination based on the presence of mental or emotional conditions. / 3. EEOC regulations defining, and computational statistics for determining the presence of disproportionate impact across protected groups. / 4. 42 USC 1983 Regulations governing the systemic practice patterns of hiring agency. / 5. APA Standards for Educational and Psychological Tests. / 6. APA Guidelines for the provision of remote telepsychology services. / / This represents a "Bulwark of Protection" to assist the agency and its Chief in proactively preparing for, and protecting against any liability complaints claiming a dysfunctional H.R. system allows for inappropriate hires to the agency / /
