Joel,

The following meta-analyses might be good sources:

Barrett, G.V., Miguel, R.F., Hurd, J.M., Lueke, S.B., & Tan, J.A. (2003).
Practical issues in the use of personality tests in police selection.
Public Personnel Management, 32, 497-517.

Hirsh, H.R., Northrop, L., & Schmidt, F.L. (1986). Validity generalization
results for law enforcement occupations. Personnel Psychology, 39, 399-420.

Hope this helps!

Dan

Does anyone know of any criterion-related validation studies for the job
of police sergeant?  Or for a similar first-line supervisor in a law
enforcement agency?

(A search of Psych Lit was unsuccessful.)

Thanks.

Joel
