Abstract

The association of peer assessment techniques and law enforcement job performance was investigated. Participants were trainees at a law enforcement academy who were subsequently employed in diverse law enforcement agencies. Results indicated that peer rankings were significantly correlated with academy instructor rankings, with job supervisor evaluations, and with two of four objective measures of job performance (retention and absenteeism). These results indicate that peer assessment techniques evidence concurrent and predictive validity. Potential applications of peer assessment in law enforcement settings are discussed.
