| Candidates
seeking promotion to the next level in a public safety agency
need to have a command of essential job-related information.
For example, viable candidates for promotion to Police Sergeant
might need to be knowledgeable about their department's use
of force policy, the benefits of a community-oriented policing
philosophy, state vehicle codes, domestic violence laws, etc.
Although
there are many things they can look up in a book, first and
second-line supervisors are often required to take control
of a particular situation and draw on their base of knowledge
to act appropriately. Furthermore, supervisors also serve
as a day-to-day source of guidance and information for an
agency's less experienced members.
It goes
without saying that every public safety agency is different
as a simple example can illustrate. A lieutenant with an urban
fire department needs to know more about coordinating activities
at the scene of a multi-story apartment building fire than
about containing a brush fire. In developing a job-knowledge
promotional exam, there are many factors to consider. That's
why we take a customized approach in developing your exam.
We feel writing items specific to your department's policies,
procedures and issues is the most valid and legally defensible
option when it comes to this facet of the promotional process.
