Modern policing focuses on the community and the interaction of the officers with the citizens they serve. The increasing diversity of our communities calls for officers who are skilled in dealing appropriately with all kinds of people.  According to hundreds of police specialists, truly outstanding officers are those who consistently use good judgment and human relation skills.
FrontLine Assesses Skill in:
  • Human Interaction
  • Responding Calmly to Provocation
  • Unbiased Enforcement
  • Situational Judgment
  • Ethics and Social Maturity
  • Handling Authority
  • Gaining Cooperation
  • Observation and Analysis
Report Writing and Reading
The FrontLine system includes complementary tests for other important job skills. The video-based Incident Observation and Report Writing Test requires good observation skills, accurate reporting and basic writing competency. The FrontLine Reading Test uses materials simulated from actual police manuals and assesses competency to read at the minimum level required to do the job. By measuring responses in these critical areas, FrontLine is able to determine scientifically which applicants will likely become the best officers.
