This is Portico

The platform behind standards-based public safety psychological evaluation. Intake to finalized report, performed by licensed psychologists, with one record that follows a candidate from evaluation through hire and across a career.

Pre-Employment

Pre-employment evaluations use validated, job-relevant measures to assess decision-making, stress tolerance, and risk factors. Evaluations are performed by licensed psychologists, and findings are clear and defensible — designed to support fair selection and reduce turnover.

From intake to finalized report, the process runs through Portico, keeping things transparent for candidates and
agencies alike.

Leadership Competence Evaluation

Leadership Competence Evaluations (promotional psychological evaluations) assess leadership readiness using scenario-based assessments and evidence-driven
tools that map directly to role demands.

Evaluations are performed by licensed psychologists and address accountability, judgment, communication, and team impact. Available in two tiers — supervisory and command — matched to the scope of authority of the position. Each evaluation is tracked through Portico, giving candidates practical feedback and agencies a consistent record across every promotional cycle.

Safeguards & Wellness Checks

Safeguard and wellness evaluations are proactive, confidential check-ins that identify stress, burnout, and emerging risk early, before they affect performance or safety.

Licensed psychologists use structured, evidence-driven screens and brief interviews to provide clear next steps, from short-term strategies to referrals and follow-up. Scheduling and participation run through Portico, so leaders see high-level trends while individual privacy and dignity stay rigorously protected.
