This November 1978 symposium was convened by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration's Office of Criminal Justice Education and Training in Dallas, Texas, to explore the role of education and training in human resources development. The symposium considered criminal justice manpower needs, the development of comprehensive manpower planning methodologies, and police officer standards and training. Participants looked at job analysis procedures, job task analysis applications, an occupational research project of the U.S. Air Force, a task analysis of the special agent job by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, basic training development in Texas, and entry-level police selection and test validation in Washington. Participants also focused on a statewide job analysis of the police patrol officer position in Michigan, job task analysis of Minnesota patrol officers, Wisconsin's law enforcement standards for conducting job analysis, job analysis of entry-level police officers in Georgia and California, historical background of police training in New York, and essential elements in a comprehensive human resources program for criminal justice jobs.
This study was undertaken to develop and validate reading and writing tests to be used for the selection of entry-level law enforcement officers in California. In effect, this study was comprised of two research projects: one resulting in a reading test and one resulting in a writing test. The tests were validated using both the content and criterion-related strategies of validation. The tests were content validated using job skills as the criteria and empirically validated using academy academic performance as the criteria. POST feels the language ability tests are appropriate for use as entry-level selection procedures for all law eforcement agencies in the state of California.
