Cadet Selection Procedure and FFDE
Dr. Johnson is entrusted with the evaluation of the police's cadet selection procedure.
Tasks:
On the basis of the vignette you read, analyze the vignette and respond to the following questions regarding the PEPE process:
• Should the department attempt to select individuals who will be good officers, or should the department simply try to weed out potentially bad officers?
• How should this selection process be conducted, and what psychological testing instruments, if any, should be included?
Now, let's look at a procedure that may be necessary following employment-an FFDE:
• Explain how informed consent and the limits of confidentiality should be handled by the forensic examiner.
• Explain how an FFDE is conducted. Include discussion of psychological tests that might be administered in an FFDE.
• Present the possible outcomes of an FFDE. In other words, what might the examiner recommend to the police department?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
