OVERVIEW OF SERVICES
Pre-Employment Psychological Evaluation:
Our process for psychological pre-employment evaluation of public safety candidates has roots in evaluation methods that have been carefully developed and refined by members of the team over years, and utilized extensively, effectively and legally on behalf of hundreds of public safety agencies. The strategy addresses the applicant’s suitability for the position using multiple methodologies validated specifically for use with law enforcement personnel, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and defensibility of the evaluation.

The Psychological Fitness for Duty (FFD) Evaluation program provides assessment of an incumbent employee whose behavior is regarded as creating risk for the employer and is suspected to be related to a psychological issue. Fitness for Duty Evaluations can have significant legal and safety-related implications and thus demand the highest level of expertise, competence, and attention on the part of the examiner.
