Finding suitable candidates for high-risk public safety positions
has always been a critical function. But in today’s post-9/11
environment, the stakes are even higher: police departments are active
in homeland security, the military is involved in peace keeping,
university police are dealing with unprecedented violence, and private
security agencies are working with the military to provide security
around the world.
Therefore, IPAT is conducting two targeted courses in Chicago to
assist you in dealing with the challenges you are facing – from
qualifying prospects for recruitment, to selecting and placing
qualified personnel and evaluating existing officers for promotional
opportunities.

November 16 New Course!
Overview: Hilson Assessments for High-Risk Occupations
For over 25 years, Hilson assessments, including the renowned
Inwald Personality Inventory, have been highly-respected names in
public safety testing. Recently acquired by IPAT, these tests are now
the key products in IPAT’s newly-formed Public Safety and Security
Division.
This half-day course explores how the four assessments in the
Hilson Public Safety Test Battery can be used to supplement your
psychological interviews and universal personality tests to provide a
complementary behavioral dimension to your hiring decisions.
Completion of this course provides 4 CE credits and a Certificate
of Completion.
Psychologists will gain in-depth assessment insights not found in
technical manuals, while program managers and other non-psychologists
will achieve a better understanding of the assessment instruments used
by psychologists, thus facilitating that working relationship.
