Description
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is seeking to continue the administration of the Basic Abilities Test (BAT) for admission into Florida criminal justice recruit training programs. The test is designed to measure cognitive and non-cognitive abilities appropriate for entry-level corrections and law enforcement officers. The FDLE is looking to procure the services from a single source, Pearson VUE, due to their established computer-based testing platform and integration with the FDLE's Automated Training Management System.
• The BAT is a cognitive abilities examination designed to measure the abilities appropriate to Florida's entry-level corrections and law enforcement officers.
• The test is developed by industrial-organizational psychologists using a thorough Job Analysis of each position.
• The developers must provide criterion-related validity evidence that the BAT is predictive of academic success.
• Examination results must be monitored closely by the developers to avoid adverse impact.
