Clear and accurate writing is essential in law enforcement, where reports, tickets, and official documents often become part of the public record—or even courtroom evidence. The Writing Ability Test (WAT) ensures your candidates have the fundamental writing skills needed to perform these duties with professionalism and precision.
This content-valid assessment measures spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure, confirming that applicants can prepare clear and reliable documentation. By incorporating the WAT into your selection process, your department can be confident that new hires possess the writing proficiency necessary to complete reports, paperwork, and legal documents that withstand scrutiny.
The WAT is a content-valid assessment backed by FPSI’s decades of expertise and is available in paper-and-pencil format.
