Sheets, City ?attorney Exhibit "A" Scope of Services Police officer Pre-employment Psychological Evaluation: The purpose of the police officer pro-employment psychological evaluation is to better ensure that individuals seeking to serve as peace officers are psychologically sound and have the necessary judgement, foresight and planning ability to safely interact with citizens while serving and protecting public interest. Tests and measures are used that identify impulsivity, substance abuse propensity, negative or skewed outlook on society, depression, anxiety, psychosis and other serious mental health conditions that may impair performance and place citizens at risk. Recognizing the importance of the pre-employment psychological evaluation for of the performance ofthe candidate and the preservation of public safety, we use multiple screening measures and conduct a thorough clinical interview and mental status exam. Our goal is to provide departments with viable candidates with the potential to serve the public safely and competently. Initial Screening Psychological Test: Hilson Background Investigation_!pyEntM: The Hilson Background Investigation I nve ntory-Revised (HBI-R TM)aids in the identification of "high-risk" candidates with antisocial behavior patterns and/or job-related difficulties. The Round Rock Police Department uses the HBI-R as it's initial assessment of potentially qualified candidates, Individuals whose scores indicate that they may be high-risk for job related problems may not proceed in the RRPD Hiring process. Pricing For Round Rock Police L-3 Evaluations will be $325 with the option for 10% increase each year. Hilson Evaluations will be $115 per report with the option for 10% increase each year. I think a total dollar amount of$60,000.00 would be sufficient to cover services. Dr. Ronnetts P.
