scientifically validated; and
WHEREAS the acceptable validation techniques are time consuming and expensive to
apply and have limited value unless the number of candidates and number hired are
significantly large; and
WHEREAS the selection devices used to hire police officers, in particular, are being
challenged in court cases throughout the United States, often resulting in constrictive court
orders an local units of government and in some cases threatening the continued receipt of
federal grant funds; and
WHEREAS the Selection Consulting Center of Sacramento, California, in cooperation
with the United States Civil Service Commission, is conducting a nation-wide study of entry
level police officer selection standards, applied to large numbers of applicants and police
officers, to develop a set of validated selection devices which may be used by Local governments
throughout the country; and
WHEREAS the Selection Consulting Service will provide expert professional testimony
as to the validity of the resulting selection devices, should a local governmental user be
challenged in court; and
WHEREAS the maximum anticipated cost of $6,000 over a two year period is within the
County's C,E.T, A, funds designated for this type of research;
