How Police works in SkillScorer
Score
Each officer in a unit is scored on the Police skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank officers, compare two side by side, or compare your units against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Police skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior officer's unit.
Police scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Police scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Police scorecard covers 13 skills: Investigation, Communication, Use of Force, Report Writing, Decision Making, Community Engagement, Ethics & Integrity, Evidence Collection and Handling, Interviewing Techniques, Legislative Knowledge, Traffic and Road Safety Enforcement, Domestic and Family Violence Response and Defensive Tactics and Firearms Proficiency. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are officers scored in Police?
Every officer is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one unit and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Police?
Police starts with these levels (called “Rank” in the app): Probationary Constable, Constable, Senior Constable, Sergeant, Senior Sergeant and Inspector. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Police skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In emergency services the app talks about officers, units and senior officers, and you can change any of those words too.
