Police and public safety psychology

Police and public safety psychology includes the assessment of candidates for law enforcement and other public safety positions, assessment of incumbent personnel, and services to maintain satisfactory functioning among incumbent personnel.

My research lab studies preemployment psychological screenings for police officer candidates, and training and working in police and public safety psychology.

My current directions within this research theme are as follows.

  1. Multicultural sensitivity in conducting pre-employment psychological screenings for police officer candidates.
  2. Training and career experiences in police and public safety psychology.
