Public Safety Psychological Evaluation
We offer professional and affordable public safety pre-employment psychological evaluations for a variety of critical public safety roles including Police and Law Enforcement Officers, Communications Dispatchers, Correctional Officers, Armed Security Personnel, and Fire and Rescue Professionals.
Why Psychological Screening Matters
Public safety positions demand exceptional judgment, integrity, and emotional stability. A pre-employment psychological evaluation helps ensure that candidates possess the psychological readiness and behavioral traits necessary for effective and ethical performance in high-stress environments.
Our Evaluation Process
Through a combination of clinical interview, standardized psychological testing, and behavioral history review, these evaluations assess characteristics such as emotional control, stress tolerance, impulse management, interpersonal functioning, and decision-making. The process supports agencies in selecting candidates who are not only mentally and emotionally fit for duty, but also well-suited to the demands of teamwork, community engagement, and the responsible use of authority.
Supporting Agency Readiness and Public Trust
By identifying potential areas of concern early in the hiring process, public safety psychological screening helps ensure that those who serve are prepared for the unique responsibilities of law enforcement, corrections, emergency response, and related fields. Our evaluation procedures are scientifically driven and guided by standards set by professional organizations, including the American Psychological Association (APA) and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP).
