Abstract
This publication highlights the career of Dr. Ellen Scrivner, a past president of American Psychological Association's (APA's) Division 18 and a pioneer in the specialty of police and public safety psychology. While psychologists' work with police and public safety may be typical now, Dr. Scrivner's journey and work were atypical when she embarked on her academic studies and began her career. Although initially intrigued by the science of changing behavior, she became more interested in changing the behaviors of organizations throughout her time as a psychology major in undergraduate studies. Dr. Scrivner followed this passion through her graduate studies and into her career. As a professional working with police in public safety, having a background in psychology has allowed Dr. Scrivner to better assist organizations in transitioning or creating different, coherent, and more effective patterns or practices.
