Many police agencies nationwide use promotional exams and leadership assessments developed by PSI Services and Talogy. These vendors design written promotional exams, competency-based leadership assessments, and supervisory judgment scenarios used for ranks such as Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, and Command Staff.
At the J. Harris Academy of Police Training, we provide independent, high-level preparation tailored to the formats, competencies, and behaviors commonly measured in PSI / Talogy promotional systems. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by PSI or Talogy. We prepare officers to excel on the assessment styles used by many agencies across the United States.
