Hiring Public Safety Personnel

The safety of the general public seems to be more and more at risk. As a result, the need to identify and hire individuals who are more likely to reinforce the safety of others becomes a critical responsibility of psychologists who serve as consultants to those who are making these critical hiring decisions.

We offer several instruments that can be used during the employment selection process for numerous high-risk, high-stress public safety positions. Overall, these tests can help measure a candidate's emotional suitability for certain positions, cognitive ability, and possible behavioral issues.

We provide assessment instruments to help select for these high-risk positions and others:

  • Law Enforcement Officers
  • Security Personnel
  • Firefighters and Paramedics
  • Correctional Officers
  • Military Personnel
  • Special Agents
  • Airline Pilots
  • Sky Marshals
  • Seminary Students
  • Medical and Psychology Personnel
  • Nuclear Power Facilities
