Police Assessment Center Preparation

Summary: MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE !!
Review: Find this first on the used market if you can and this should not be your first pick for police assessment center preparation. It is very generic and spends too much time on the overview of the process. Candidates for promotion do not always need to know the legality of an assessment center nor the reasons some agencies select them as a testing process. Law enforcement professionals competing for promotion have little choice in the agencies decision to use this process and normally little time to prepare. When compared to even an ARCO Sergeants test prep book, the three chapters on assessment center exercises were more concise and informative. It does include good exercises to familiarize yourself with the process and the author's advice is consistent with others.

Review: I felt very prepared after going through this process. It was worth the time to do each of the exercizes. I would definitely recommend the workbook and the process to others.

Summary: An Excellent Book For Preparation of Assessment Centers!
Review: When our Police Department announced that the testing process for the two open captain positions would be changed to an assessment center, everyone began a search for the best approach to prepare for the process. Dr. O'Leary's book is the one I chose. The guidelines and sugestions were excellent. I finished first on the oral board component and second in the overall scoring. Today I am a Captain with a major mid-western police department. Without the PROPER guide for understanding and preparation of assessment center testing, I would have been lost! This book is written in simple text and is easy to follow.
