Commission recommends City consider Public Safety Testing for candidate evaluations
Summary
The commission unanimously recommended that the City evaluate Public Safety Testing's system for written testing, polygraphs, and background checks as part of police chief candidate evaluation.
Commissioner Jim Earle presented features of Public Safety Testing, a third-party vendor, and recommended the City consider that company's testing system for police chief candidate evaluations.
Commissioner Earle moved that the Commission recommend the City consider Public Safety Testing’s system and options; Commissioner Carra Nupp seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Commissioners discussed which elements (testing, polygraphs, background checks) fall under the City versus the Commission's purview.
The motion is advisory to the City; no contract or purchase was approved at this meeting. The recommendation directs City staff and elected officials to evaluate the vendor's offerings as part of the recruitment and screening process.
