Preemployment Psychological Evaluations (PPE)

A PPE is conducted to determine whether an applicant applying for a law enforcement position meets the minimum requirements for psychological suitability. The assessment focuses on whether the applicant has an impairing condition that would adversely impact the ability to withstand the psychological demands inherent in law enforcement positions. In these evaluations, the applicant participates in an interview and completes a testing battery. A report is produced based on the accumulated information. At the conclusion of the report, a determination is made pertaining to the applicant’s suitability.
