Course Description
This half-day workshop is intended for practitioners with prior experience in conducting preemployment evaluations of local, county, state, or federal law enforcement officer candidates. The presenter will discuss findings from empirical research with direct implications for refining predictions of post-hire performance in law enforcement officers. These findings and their related assessment methods (including the use of the MMPI-2-RF) will address suitability criteria involving implicit bias, cultural competence, effective interpersonal engagement (with the public, peers, and supervisors), performance under stress, performance during field training, and other targeted interests.
