What are preemployment psychological evaluations?

For police and public safety roles, reliable preemployment testing requires a licensed psychologist who is also a specialist in police and public safety psychology. Lead psychologists with Atlantic OccuPsych have long been involved in developing best practices and have been highly active in writing professional guidelines.

After a conditional offer is made, objective psychological testing combined with a face-to-face interview can identify risk factors such as impulsiveness, difficulty managing stress, negative interpersonal personality characteristics, poor work attitudes or other characteristics that might impede successful performance.
