Employees working within organizations have a legislative obligation to monitor the content of e-mails sent to external bodies and to eliminate potentially sensitive internal information regardless of the perceived importance of that information.
To guarantee that employees fulfill their legislative obligation and to prevent the possible leak of the exclusive information, employers have prepared mandatory contracts stipulating this responsibility, to be signed by all employees, and additionally, inserted a copyright section to every external e-mail that emphasizes the confidentiality of the information provided. Employees’ carelessness in handling information circulated via email may result in serious punitive action.

This section of the law enforcement aptitude battery aims to measure your cognitive abilities through multiple-choice questions spanning six distinct topics. Many questions aim to measure the clarity and accuracy of your written communication, and most if not all will revolve around law enforcement-related scenarios.
The six sections of this law enforcement aptitude test are:
Measure your ability to write and convey information in a clear and concise manner. The main reason the LEAB test measures this ability is to see that as a future police officer, you are able to document incidents and communicate with your colleagues effectively.
In these questions, you will be presented with Long or medium-length texts that describe law enforcement-related scenarios. It aims to measure your ability to extract relevant information and work accordingly, as you would need to do while reading a report or following guidelines as a future police officer.
Problem sensitivity questions measure your ability to properly identify problems. This relates to a variety of police-related scenarios, such as noticing something suspicious in a description given by a witness, an issue with equipment, or a deviation from procedures.
Deductive Reasoning questions measure your ability to take a general rule and apply it to specific cases. For instance, you may be asked to determine whether a specific law applies in a scenario you are presented with or to say if a case should be classified as one violation of the law as opposed to another.
This section of the LEAB test measures your ability to identify hidden patterns or rules in the given information, and then implement the rule in a different situation. This is the skill that allows law enforcement to put together a cohesive picture from the fragmented pieces of information that are found at a crime scene or an accident.
These questions aim to measure the candidate’s ability to decide on the correct course of action during typical law enforcement scenarios, according to the procedure. For instance, a police officer will regularly need to decide how to handle the scene of a car accident according to best practices and procedures.
While the abilities test is the largest part of the LEAB exam, the work styles questionnaire (Also known as the Police Psychological exam) is no less important and gives your employer an understanding of important mental attributes.
This section of the test is a short type of personality test in which you will need to answer short statements relating to your behavior or attitude toward different situations, both professional and personal.
It is a common misconception that there is no need to prepare for personality tests, and understanding the logic behind these tests and how to answer them in a way that best presents your strengths can highly improve your chances of passing.
Remember that not answering a question in the work styles questionnaire could result in your disqualification from the selection process, so be sure to answer everything!
