Lamont Ewell Public Member Ex Ofcio Member Rob Bonta Attorney General Peace Officer Psychological Screening Manual iii iv COMMISSION ON Peace Officer STANDARDS AND TRAINING. Foreword The POST Psychological Screening Manual was first issued in 1984. The ensuing years witnessed significant and regular developments in the laws, regulations, and professional guidelines that impact Peace Officer Psychological Screening . POST has been at the forefront of these changes shaping revisions to government codes, creating new requirements to ensure the job-relatedness of Psychological Screening and the professionalism of Psychological evaluators, and actively participating in updates to professional guidance. The volume and significance of those developments necessitated a major revision to the Manual , resulting in the publication of the POST Peace Officer Psychological Screening Manual in 2014.
