Abstract: | Sixty-two police officers were administered the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) during employer referred psychological
Fitness for Duty Examinations (FFDEs). PAI scores were analyzed as a function of the length of time the officers had worked
within law enforcement occupations. PAI subtest scales ARD, ARD-P, ARD-T and DEP scores all produced significant positive
correlations between both the amount of time spent on the current police job and the total time served as a police officer
within a bivariate Pearsonr correlation matrix. Implications for an understanding of psychometric test results within the FFDE context and the evolution
of law enforcement officer personality patterns are discussed.
