Services
Pre-Employment Psychological Evaluations
These evaluations assess psychological suitability for public safety roles through standardized testing and clinical interviews. We identify candidates with emotional stability and appropriate personality traits for high-stress environments. Our process follows CA POST guidelines and includes remote proctoring options for modern efficiency.
Critical Incident Stress Debriefings
Group interventions help personnel process traumatic events within 72-96 hours post-incident. Our approach normalizes emotional responses and prevents long-term psychological impacts through structured peer discussions. Services extend to dispatchers, evidence technicians, and administrative staff affected by critical incidents.
Fitness-for-Duty Assessments
Specialized evaluations determine an employee's psychological capacity to perform essential job functions. We follow IACP best practices to ensure impartial assessments while maintaining workplace safety. Initial consultations help employers determine appropriate evaluation parameters and alternatives.
Crisis Negotiation Consultation
Mental health expertise supports negotiation teams during emergency call-outs and training exercises. With 30+ years of experience, we provide tactical psychological insights during crisis situations while participating in regular training updates with multiple departments.
Peer Support Programs
We develop and maintain peer support systems that promote organizational wellness through trained staff members. Our guidance ensures effective program implementation while maintaining staff-led communication structures. Recent contributions include conference presentations and published handbook chapters on program development.
