Police Officer Selection

This study compared the position of police officers in a large eastern U.S. metropolitan police department to the sample of police officers ( N = 250) used originally to develop and validate the National Police Officer Selection Test (POST). A method was used which provided a basis for conducting studies of the transportability of validity, i.e., studies which demonstrate that test evidence on validity developed in a particular location can be effectively used as evidence of validity in an entirely new location, with other examinations validated using a content validity strategy. Content Validity Indices from the new sample's job analysis ( N = 115) correlated highly ( r = .89) with the original job analysis data ( N = 250). Further analyses indicated no significant differences between samples with regard to ratings of importance of skills identified as essential for successful performance of the police officer's position. Finally, a multivariate approach was used as a more conservative means of comparing job profiles. A discussion of the implications of these findings for making decisions about the transportability of validity is provided.

Police Officer Selection

This is a summary of seven criterion-related validation studies conducted in the United States with The National Police Officer Selection Test (POST), a content-valid, entry-level, basic skills examination used by law enforcement agencies for preemployment screening. Correlations between POST scores and various training and work performance criteria are presented. The results provide additional evidence for the criterion-related validity of the POST as a preemployment selection instrument for law enforcement candidates.
