Promotional Testing Proposal <br />Public Safety Testing, Inc. 10 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Assessment centers developed by PST are not “off the shelf” products and are highly customized <br />for the client agency. Our testing model also includes options the city may wish to consider. <br />A. Additional Candidate Orientation Workshops: One virtual candidate orientation workshop is <br />included for each assessment center. Additional workshop(s) are available if needed to <br />accommodate the schedules of candidates. Sometimes, clients want the Candidate <br />Workshop to open to all employees who are interested in preparing for a promotional <br />opportunity. <br />B. Work Performance Rating: A PST-exclusive product that is a unique method to objectively <br />incorporate the candidate’s prior work performance into the promotional testing process. <br />Clients who add this testing element give remarkably high feedback. This is separate from our <br />assessment center exercises and clients determine the weight of this testing component in <br />the testing process. This process uses evidence provided by documentation, and a facilitated <br />discussion with all the candidate’s supervisors to place objective scores on five performance <br />dimensions. For example, the first line supervisor dimensions are: <br />• Demonstrates Ethical Behavior <br />• Demonstrates Agency’s Mission & Values <br />• Quality of Work <br />• Quantity of Work <br />• Demonstrates Leadership <br />A weighting process determines the importance of the individual performance dimensions. <br />Clients often find that this process has collateral benefits for the supervisors involved and is a <br />positive experience for the leadership team. <br />C. Semi-Customized Written Examination for Washington State Police Supervisor/Manager: <br />A 100-item, multiple-choice, semi-customized written examination. Source materials may <br />include current leadership books and texts (request current list), <br />6 to 18 months of WSCJTC Police Service Digests (LEDs), and 25 questions from the <br />agency’s critical policies. This test is specifically valid for Washington State; for a Police <br />Service or Corrections supervisor/manager and to your agency. PST needs at least 3-to 4 <br />weeks to develop this product. A minimum of four (4+) weeks of study time for your <br />candidates is highly recommended. <br />What PST does: <br />• Provides 75 multiple choice questions from the textbook, legal updates, and/or LED’s. <br />• Develops 30 questions from the agency’s critical policies. <br />• Creates a draft test booklet for pilot testing by the agency. <br />• Creates the final test booklet and the scoresheet, makes copies for all the candidates, and <br />ships them to the agency before the administration date. <br />• Scores the answer sheets, conducts an item analysis, and sends the results to the agency. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL TESTING COMPONENTS, SERVICES <br />
