If you look at most medium to large size police agencies
in this country, those who are supervisors, managers and leaders all got there in a similar manner: they took a test. Usually, there are certain ranks that are “testable” and then the upper ranks are appointed.
The tests that are administered are usually comprised of questions about agency policy and law. The promotional process may include just a written test, or any combination of a written test, resume review, oral interview and practical exercises.
Once you hit a certain rank, there is no longer a test; instead you are selected by the chief.
Is this a good thing? Do you think there is a better way? Is this a good way to chose leaders as opposed to managers? Please cite a peer-reviewed article to support your opinions.
