Tasks:

On the basis of the vignette you read, analyze the vignette and respond to the following questions regarding the PEPE process:

• Should the department attempt to select individuals who will be good officers, or should the department simply try to weed out potentially bad officers?

• How should this selection process be conducted, and what psychological testing instruments, if any, should be included?

Now, let's look at a procedure that may be necessary following employment-an FFDE:

• Explain how informed consent and the limits of confidentiality should be handled by the forensic examiner.

• Explain how an FFDE is conducted. Include discussion of psychological tests that might be administered in an FFDE.

• Present the possible outcomes of an FFDE. In other words, what might the examiner recommend to the police department?

All responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
