Often people forget that psychology is used to evaluate someone before they are hired for a job. For example, before becoming a police officer a person must pass a psychological exam. I found a website that was created by a person who performs these psychological exams. Dr. Susan Clifford is a licensed psychologist who has psychologically evaluated potential workers throughout a number of public safety agencies. Her goal for this website is to provide helpful information for any type of person who has questions related to psychology. What caught my eye was the section on the site labeled Policework Info. Under this heading you can find tips on how to deal with anger, what the risks are when a tired police officer is on duty, and even the psychological aspects that are relevant for police officers that have a K9 as a partner. Also, there is a lot of helpful information in the Q&A section. Check this website out, because it dives deep into the times and situations where psychology is seen and experienced. Police psychology is growing in popularity, and this site will help explain what police psychology really is.
