For 30 years, Dr. Daley has been successfully assisting candidates in appealing disqualifications for all the major New York metropolitan area law enforcement agencies.
Appeal your disqualification
A psychological disqualification will follow you. It is a red flag that other law enforcement agencies will be reluctant to ignore.
Every major law enforcement and public safety agency in the country performs a pre-appointment psychological screening of prospective officers. Police officer candidates, correction officer candidates, candidates for firefighter positions, prospective deputy sheriffs and traffic enforcement officers, as well as peace officers employed by some private or semi-public security firms, are all subjected to a minimum of a battery of psychological tests, usually followed by examination by a psychologist. While there is usually an effort on the part of the agencies concerned to be thorough, fair, and reasonable in their evaluations, the simple fact is that many candidates are psychologically disqualified for no valid reason. Worse yet, this disqualification will follow the candidate as he applies for law enforcement positions in other jurisdictions.
You can fight back.
In most instances the law enforcement agency concerned provides the opportunity to appeal the negative conclusions reached by their psychologists. If you have been or believe you are about to be psychologically disqualified for a law enforcement or public safety position, we may be able to help.
