The School of Justice Assessment Center has an unparalleled depth and breadth of experience in public safety testing ranging from entry level to chief’s level. The Center is fully prepared to offer assessment center exercises specifically tailored to fit unique agency requirements for employment, promotion and personnel development decisions.

The Center has the experience and resources to develop and implement job-relevant test instruments, evaluate the records, and analyze the necessary data for any public safety position. Our testing processes range from content-valid written tests tailored for individual agencies to assessment-based oral boards to full scale complex assessment centers using telephones, intercoms, radios, etc.

The Center was created in 1981 by Special Response Funds from Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA). Since that time the Center has processed over 18,000 candidates for law enforcement, corrections, and fire agencies. We have assessed various levels within these agencies from entry level to the chief’s level. Since 1985, the Center has assisted city and county managers in external recruitment for agency heads and other executive positions such as directors of corrections, finance, public works, public safety and data systems.

The Center has been highly successful and is now serving as a model for the development of other centers throughout the United States and internationally. For example, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, Research and Planning Division, and the London Metropolitan Police Department have consulted with our program in their attempts to establish similar assessment programs. The Center has also collaborated with public safety agencies to develop training programs to enhance skills that are evaluated during the assessment process.
