Police Assessment Program - Captain Constantineau.
Captain Constantineau presented the commission with another process that the department
would like to utilize during the hiring process. It is an assessment program that other
departments use. Members of our department responded and observed Menomonee Falls
Police Department's program. MFPD has been using the assessment process for
approximately 20 years. The scenarios help the department to see how the applicants
respond to situations and can assess their abilities in a variety of areas. Lt. Andrew Kraus will
be in charge of the process and a mock assessment is being planned for 08/09/16, from 3-
6PM. After a brief discussion the commission would like to see how the mock assessment
goes and have more time to see how other departments work it into their process.
Commissioner Whittow made a motion to defer the item to the next agenda. Commissioner
Sprecher seconded, motion passed 4 in favor.
