The policing testing and hiring process is daunting enough.. and then you have to be evaluated by a psychologist? Intimidating to say the least! In this episode, I am joined by "Doc" Jena Casas. She breaks down what the psych eval and component are all about for applicants and agencies.
We cover takeaways from the hiring perspective and how candidates' awareness in this can help them show up their best. (Don't forget my hiring guide on all that!)
