Download or read book Background Investigation for Law Enforcement written by Van Ritch and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out to help business administrators, law enforcement officers, and human resources personnel conduct background investigations on potential employees. Employee background investigations are absolutely crucial to the career path of most supervisors. The success or failure of individual leaders and organizations often rests on whether they really ensured that an effective inquiry into an applicant's past has taken place. In addition, more and more lawsuits have been brought under the charge of "negligent hiring," which imposes direct liability for the employer's own negligence. Background Investigation for Law Enforcement details the crucial elements of a superior background investigation process, beginning with a checklist ensuring adequate support from the upper administration. In the following chapters, Ritch explains the importance of thorough and routine background checks, alerting the reader to common pitfalls and repercussions, and then details the process of conducting a background investigation. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who may be involved in hiring procedures.

Download or read book Analysis of the Pre employment Testing Prcedures of the Moorhead Police Department written by David L. Andersen and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the entire process of recruitment and testing used by the City of Moorhead in hiring police officers. This process includes that candidates take a written test, an oral interview, a psychological battery of tests, a physical agility test and a medical exam. In addition, each applicant is subjected to a very thorough background investigation. In analysis, the author determined the testing procedure of the Moorhead Police Department generally follows the format accepted by most experts. There is dispute, however, on the value of a written test used to rank police officer candidates. A second problem is an unnecessary time delay during each successive step of the testing. These delays are caused by the organizational structure of the department and the requirement that each level of authority be involved in each step of the the process. Both of these concerns will be addressed by recommendations which should make the entire process more efficient and less costly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are many types of pre-employment background checks or tests available to employers. These checks can assist employers in hiring applicants that are well-qualified and skilled for the positions for which they are applying. Some of these checks will also assist employers in identifying "red flags" and thus mitigating against certain risks--such as hiring an applicant that may pose a risk of fraud or theft to the organization. Other types of checks will help employers obtain a sense of who the applicant is as a person, so that they can better assess whether the applicant will "fit" within the organization. In recent years, employers have begun to check references with greater frequency and thoroughness. This book has been designed to help employers understand what types of checks are legally permissible, and how to conduct these checks in a way that minimizes risk to employers. The authors advise that interviews and reference checks be conducted before the employer extends a conditional offer of employment to the job applicant, but all other background checks and tests discussed in this book should be performed afterwards. The following types of background checks are reviewed in this book: personal interviews, reference checks ,education and professional certification checks, credit checks, psychometric tests, medical and fitness tests, police records checks, drug and alcohol tests, and immigration, terrorism and industry-specific security checks." --Publisher description.

Download or read book The Psychology of Police Deadly Force Encounters written by Laurence Miller and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of Police Deadly Force Encounters: Science, Practice, and Police is a fascinating look into the reality of police work. The author integrates noted theories into a “street-wise” understanding of being a police officer. The focus of this book is on the use of deadly force by officers—a topic of considerable importance. The author discusses the psychosocial aspects of deadly force use, stemming from the individual officer, the situation, organizational influences, and the police culture. Expanding further into social issues, the controversial topic of race and use of deadly force is discussed. This depiction looks at both sides—that of racial victimization and that of the police—which helps to provide a rather unique perspective on this important issue. Of interest, the author breaks down the different dimensions of cognition as a factor in decision making among police, including the perception of the situation, the action taken depending on that perception, and the role of present and past memory. This will make for a useful training topic to alert officers to the cognitive processes that go into deadly force use—processes that they have the control to change to make a better decision. Next, the book delves into the biological factors that may be involved in police decision making—again where deadly force is involved. The various negative psychological impacts that a deadly force situation may bring about are identified and explained. This book will be useful as a tool for both law enforcement practitioners and researchers to better understand the intricacies of deadly force by the police. For researchers, the book has a multitude of references available for further exploration. It will prove to be a useful guide and reference volume for police managers and supervisors, mental health clinicians, investigators, attorneys, judges, law enforcement educators and trainers, rank and file police officers, including expert witnesses.
