Description
Johnson, Roberts and Associates, Inc. is the sole licensor, provider and supporter of the JR and A Police and Public Safety Selection Report. This report is only available through Johnson, Roberts and Associates, Inc., and contains statistical, selection-relevant presentations (e.g., proprietary norm, prediction equations) of psychological tests data (i.e., CPI, PAI, PSYQ). The JR and A Police and Public Safety Selection Report is created by data that is first collected by way of copyrighted answer sheet (i.e., developed by Johnson, Roberts and Associates, Inc.) that is read by a Scantron device (i.e., ‘scanner’) according to a proprietary and copy written Scantron form definition file.

Since 2010, Johnson, Roberts, and Associates, Inc. has provided testing report services to the New York City Department of Correction (NYCDOC - Applicant Investigation Unit – Psychological Services) as a whole-source vendor. The licensed psychologists at the New York City Department of Correction have used these Police and Public Safety Applicant Selection Reports (with job-specific corrections officer norms) to conduct pre-employment psychological evaluations of NYC Correction Officer Candidates.
The Psychological Services branch of the NYCDOC Applicant Investigation Unit (AIU) uses three Johnson, Roberts, and Associates, Inc. Psychological testing reports, generated from the following instruments:
1. the Psychological History Questionnaire (PsyQ),
2. the California Psychological Inventory (CPI),
3. the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI).
More recently, Johnson, Roberts, and Associates, Inc. has provided these testing report services to other large, area agencies; for example, the New York City Police Department, The Institute for Forensic Psychology (serving public safety departments in New Jersey and New York City), and The New York State Department of Correctional Services. These psychological testing reports are produced on-site (i.e., by installing the vendor’s software, producing the reports) and are maintained in the sole possession of the NYCDOC to secure and reproduce if needed; that is, Johnson, Roberts, and Associates, Inc. does not have access to the aggregate candidate reports once they are produced.

Any firm which believes it can provide the required goods and/or services in the future is invited to express interest via email to yung.wong@doc.nyc.gov. The vendor must have specific expertise to provide Pre-Employment Psychological Testing Materials which includes a test booklet and answer sheet owned exclusively by Johnson, Roberts, and Associates, Inc.
