Abstract
Police departments use psychologists in a variety of different ways. In a national survey of police departments, a wide range of services was offered by psychologists employed by police departments. Although these results indicate what is now in practice, they do not address either possible areas of growth or existing needs in psychological services as seen by police department personnel. This problem is the focus of the present report. Additional psychological services are desired by police departments and this could conceivably become an area of involvement for psychologists.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
