Police Assessment Centers: How to Compete Successfully Workbook

Our Police Assessment Centers: How to Compete Successfully workbook, prepared by Ken Adcox, provides candidates with research-based insights, expert guidance, and proven strategies to excel in the assessment center process.

Over the past 30 years, law enforcement has placed greater emphasis on equal promotional opportunities, making assessment centers a widely accepted method for evaluating leadership potential. These centers are not physical locations but structured processes where candidates demonstrate critical skills through various activities.

Success depends on what assessors observe in a short evaluation period—often less than two hours. Even the most qualified candidates may not advance if they fail to showcase key leadership traits. Understanding the process, desired competencies, and effective strategies is essential to gaining a competitive edge.

With this workbook, you will have the tools to stand out, outperform the competition, and take control of your career advancement.
