Entry-Level Law Enforcement

The Law Enforcement Entry-Level Exam is designed to identify those individuals who possess the abilities needed to be successful as an entry level officer. Identified through a thorough job analysis, the examination evaluates several abilities including the following: Spatial Orientation; Flexibility of Closure (Observational Judgment); Serial Recall (Span Memory); Memory for Ideas; Spatial Scanning; Memory for Relationships; Verbal Comprehension; Problem Sensitivity; Visualization; Semantic Ordering; Paired Associate Memory; and Induction (Identifying Themes and Ideas). After determining the measurable abilities, consideration is given to item format and content to ensure job relatedness and to reduce adverse impact without sacrificing relevance. Items are written to measure those dimensions/abilities identified through the job analysis as necessary for the performance of important tasks. The Law Enforcement Entry-Level Exam may be used in two ways. This test is available as an online form.
