TEST FORMAT
The Police Scheduling & Report is a written simulation exercise with an optional oral component. Assessees are given 2 ? hours to review various information and prepare written recommendations on how to appropriately schedule personnel on a specific shift. The available information consists of crime trend statistics, the way in which personnel are currently being assigned, and a recent complaint from a local elected official. Assessees must write a report which analyzes the available information and makes recommendations on personnel assignments. They must also prepare a written response to the elected official. An optional feature of this exercise is the addition of an oral briefing for a panel of role players (i.e. higher management). If used, complete instructions for role-players are supplied.
SCORING AND REPORTING OF RESULTS
MPS does all of the scoring for you. Results are reported in the form of a rank-ordered list of the candidates. In addition, MPS uses a behavioral checklist approach to provide performance feedback for candidates on each of the factors measured. Behavioral checklists include both positive and negative behavioral descriptors, and are designed to assist assessees in identifying strengths, weaknesses, and developmental needs.
VIDEOTAPING THE ORAL REPORT
All necessary instructions and diagrams to properly set up and videotape the optional oral component are supplied. All that is needed is a standard video camera and 1/2" VHS videotaping system. No camera work is required.
