The recent CAT Psychology selection process conducted by the Papua Regional Police saw the participation of 72 candidates, as reported by Papuanewsonline.com. The event took place at SMK N 8 Jayapura in Papua, under the direct supervision of the Chief of Human Resources of the Papua Regional Police, Commissioner Pol. Sugandi, S.I.K.
The selection process aimed to identify suitable candidates for the Education Conversion Selection (PAG) program, which transitions Bintara (enlisted personnel) to become officers in the Indonesian National Police. Among the 72 participants, 71 were male, and only one was female, showcasing the gender diversity in the selection process.
Commissioner Pol. Sugandi emphasized the significance of this selection process as a crucial benchmark for Bintara personnel aspiring to become officers. The responsibilities and duties of an officer are more demanding and challenging, requiring a high level of personal and professional readiness.
„This selection process is a fundamental requirement in recruiting future officers who are expected to demonstrate discipline, responsibility, and the ability to overcome obstacles,“ stated Commissioner Pol. Sugandi.
The use of Computer Assisted Testing (CAT) system for the psychological assessment ensured a standardized and efficient evaluation process. The CAT system, directly connected to the central database, provided immediate results to the participants upon completion of the test. This modern approach not only streamlines the assessment process but also enhances transparency and objectivity in the selection criteria.
The implementation of CAT Psychology selection process reflects the commitment of the Papua Regional Police to uphold professionalism, integrity, and meritocracy in their recruitment procedures. By utilizing advanced technology and adhering to strict evaluation standards, the selection process ensures that only the most qualified candidates progress to the next stage of becoming officers in the Indonesian National Police.
In conclusion, the CAT Psychology selection process conducted by the Papua Regional Police signifies a significant step towards enhancing the quality and competence of future police officers. The rigorous evaluation process, coupled with the utilization of modern assessment tools, underscores the commitment of the Papua Regional Police to recruit individuals who possess the necessary skills, aptitude, and mindset to serve and protect the community effectively.
