Supplemental Police Officer Tests Any of the Entry-Level Tests from the previous page can be combined with either of the following: Police Officer – Background Data Questionnaire PO-BDQ 201-NC — 50 Items in 30 minutes Measure your candidates’ non-cognitive abilities. This biodata questionnaire assesses candidates’ background and personal characteristics that traditional ability tests are not designed to assess. This test shows a highly significant correlation with police officer job performance with virtually no adverse impact on minority group candidates in the study group. Since the PO-BDQ 201-NC measures qualities that are not assessed by a standard cognitive ability test, it is required that this test be given in conjunction with one of IPMA-HR’s entry-level police officer tests or a similar assessment tool. Police Officer – Report Completion Exercise PO-RCE 101 & 102 (VID) — 6 minutes for Video & 30 minutes for Incident Report Form The PO-RCE is a video-based simulation exercise for entry-level police officers and was designed to assess skills related to observation, listening, and written communication. As candidates watch the video, they are to take notes and assume they are the officer at the incident occurring on the video. Instructions and a countdown clock are presented in the video. Two video-based scenarios are available. The test booklet includes an Incident Report Form to be completed by the candidates. This form includes fields for names, addresses, etc. and a section for a written summary of the incident that occurred in the video. Departments choosing to administer the PO-RCE develop their own scoring criteria using the scoring guidelines, sample evaluation rating scales, and rating forms that are included in the test administration packet. Flexibility in scoring gives departments the ability to customize the scoring to fit their needs. NOTE: Unlimited use of PO-RCE video is available for a one-time fee of $500 for one scenario and $750 for both scenarios. However, the Incident Report Form is available for lease only and is not included with video purchase. 6 Areas Assessed: n Work History and Habits n Physical Preparation n Dealing with People n Integrity n Self-confidence n And more!
