Serving Public Safety Nationwide Through Advancements in Public Safety Psychology

Psychological Dimensions believes that agencies, as part of their role in protecting the public and securing their safety, often are required to place themselves at significant risk when selecting candidates, retaining staff, and carrying out operations.

PD takes this seriously by using the latest scientifically informed methods for evaluating candidates and current law enforcement officers, as well as in maximizing the effectiveness of agency operations and procedure. We believe this ultimately allows agencies to pick the best applicants, retain the best staff, and implement practices that help protect the agency from unnecessary scrutiny.

How do Virtual Evaluations Work?

Using our proprietary testing method, ProctorPRO©, PD can process applicants in a completely remote manner. PD staff hold video-proctored, secure, online testing sessions several times per week, which also allows for testing of candidates outside of regular business hours and on weekends.

When utilizing ProctorPRO©, the candidate is given access to our Testing Session Scheduling Calendar where they can reserve a seat in one of our video-proctored testing sessions within 5 business days. Each testing session is proctored by a staff member extensively trained in the testing process. The proctor is visible and interacts with the candidates to provide specific instructions and passwords to access their testing, answer questions, and ensure the integrity of the testing process. Proctors control the testing session and can mute and unmute candidates’ microphones, turn cameras on and off, and view the applicants’ screens. 

Once a candidate completes their testing session, they are given a series of available interview times to join a licensed psychologist via secure HIPAA compliant video software for a one-on-one semi-structured forensic interview.
