L-3 Evaluations For Police Officers

A psychological evaluation is required of all licensed peace officers and all police communication dispatchers in the state of Texas. Our process is professional, comprehensive, efficient, and affordable. The L-3 is comprised of a review of background information, two psychological tests, and a clinical interview. Altogether, the evaluation takes approximately 2 hours to complete. We are typically able to schedule the L-3 within one week or less of contacting our office. In addition to the L-3, we also provide Fitness for Duty (FFD) evaluations for police officers and dispatchers dealing with stress, anger management, anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, or other psychological concerns. The FFD evaluation will vary depending on the nature of the concern, so please contact our office for more information.

Our Treatment Philosophy

Our evaluation philosophy is grounded in professionalism, fairness, and evidence based assessment. We understand the unique demands placed on individuals working in law enforcement, security roles, and other public safety positions. Our role is to provide clear, objective evaluations that support both individual well being and organizational safety. We approach each assessment with neutrality and respect. Our goal is to offer a balanced, accurate understanding of psychological functioning as it relates to job relevant competencies, not to pathologize normal reactions to high stress work. We rely on validated assessment tools, structured clinical interviews, and established professional guidelines to ensure that our conclusions are consistent, defensible, and aligned with best practices. We recognize that participating in a psychological evaluation may feel stressful. We strive to create an environment that is transparent, professional, and respectful. Individuals are treated with dignity, and the evaluation process is explained clearly so expectations are understood from the beginning. Our responsibility is to provide agencies with objective, job relevant recommendations that support safe and effective performance, while also identifying when additional support or follow up may be beneficial. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and maintaining the integrity of the evaluation process. Whether you are an agency seeking a trusted evaluation partner or an individual completing an assessment as part of your professional requirements, we are dedicated to offering a process that is thorough, fair, and grounded in the principles of public safety psychology .
