Download or read book Recruitment and Selection Practices in Oklahoma Police Departments written by John P. Pelissero and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recruitment and selection cycle in Oklahoma police departments was surveyed, with attention given to age, education, physical requirements, character, psychology testing, physical agility, and background investigation. The survey was restricted to Oklahoma cities with a population of 10,000 or more. A letter, accompanied by a questionnaire, was sent to 34 cities to request information about police recruitment and selection practices as of 1975. Response to the questionnaire after two mailings resulted in the return of 25 questionnaires, with 73.5 percent responding with at least partial information. It was evident from the survey findings that police departments relied on some form of local media to advertise job openings. Although most cities engaged in some form of active recruitment using available media, a large proportion indicated no active recruitment program. Most cities required applicants to be at least 21 years old when making application. Considering applicants up to 55 years of age seemed to be an exception. Among the most prevalent criteria for police selection was a high school diploma. A slow trend toward higher educational standards was associated with increased professionalization of the law enforcement community. Height and weight requirements, and minimum visual acuity were common features of police selection standards; moral character and prior felony and misdemeanor convictions were other criteria used to evaluate police applicants. Examinations administered to applicants include general and psychological, polygraph, and physical agility testing. Background investigations were conducted by all police departments. The final phase of processing applicants prior to selection involved oral boards or interview settings. Supporting data and a bibliography are included. The survey letter and questionnaire are appended.
Download or read book Police Selection and Training written by J.C. Yuille and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Police Officer During the past twenty years the tasks required of police officers have expanded and changed with dramatic rapidi ty. The tradi tional roles of the police had been those of law enforcement and the maintenance of public order. As a consequence police officers were typically large-bodied males, selected for their physical abilities and trained to accept orders and enforce the law. Over the past two decades, however, the industrialized nations have placed a variety of new demands on police officers. To traditional law enforcement and public order tasks have been added social work, mental health duties, and cORllluni ty relations work. For example, domestic disputes, violence between husbands and wives, lovers, relatives, etc. , have increased in frequency and severity (or at least there has been a dramatic increase in reporting the occurence of domestic violence). Our societies have no formal system to deal with domestic disputes and the responsibility to do so, in most countries, has fallen to the police. In fact, in some areas as many as 607. of calls for service to the police are related to domestic disputes (see the chapter in this text by Dutton). As a result the police officer has had to become a skilled social worker, able to intervene with sensi ti vi ty in domestic situations. Alternatively, in the case of West Germany, the officer has had to learn to work co-operatively with social workers (see the chapter by Steinhilper).

Download or read book Investigation of Police Officer Selection Procedures written by Jessica Lynn Provines and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current dissertation, the relationship between police officer selection procedures and officer performance during the first year of employment was investigated within a metropolitan law enforcement agency. Ninety-two officers were followed during their first year of employment including the hiring process, academy and field training, and yearly evaluations. Data on education, aptitude, physical agility, personality, academy performance, supervisor ratings, and terminations were collected. The results reveal that the psychologists' recommendations predict whether or not an individual will leave the department before the completion of their first year as an officer. In addition, the aptitude test administered by the municipal human resources department accounted for the most variance in academy scores. Weak predictions were demonstrated for field training ratings and yearly evaluations.
