Police Hiring & Promotions: Fair, Impartial & OBJECTIVE
- In recent years, we thoroughly examined police hiring practices in New Jersey, and developed specific, actionable strategies to make diversity, inclusivity, and equality a priority for law enforcement in New Jersey. We were extremely proud and honored our suggested strategies were incorporated into the below listed legislative bills.
- Senate Bill S2765 Requires Various Initiatives to Increase Diversity and Inclusivity
- Senate Bill S2766 Requires a Mentoring Program for Minority Applicants
- Senate Bill S2767 Requires Oversight/Database for Candidates Background Information
- Our suggestions also prompted the Civil Service Commission to conduct a data-driven assessment of the demographics of law enforcement officers hired via the Civil Service process in New Jersey.
- This data assessment reflected an abundance of qualified candidates from underrepresented groups looking to join the ranks of law enforcement, and protect serve their communities.
- There are various hiring practices for law enforcement throughout the State, and within Synergy Consulting & Training Group, we help ensure the concepts of procedural justice and fundamental fairness apply during the hiring and promotional processes.
We help organizations:
- Create a selection process which draws from an all-inclusive candidate pool.
- Employ data driven, evidence based, hiring protocols that can be standardized and are grounded in objective criteria.
- Create a work culture and environment in which all employees feel valued and have a sense of belonging.
