IPMA-HR's Response to COVID-19
We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 and how it is and will affect our customers. We are working hard to support our customers, communities, and employees during this difficult time.
IPMA-HR will continue taking orders and shipping items. We want to make sure our customers can get the items they need, when they need them. To protect our staff, the majority of our workforce is working remotely, with very limited staff in the building daily to fill orders, Monday-Friday. We ask that you please plan accordingly when placing your order to ensure it is delivered on time. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out:
assessment@ipma-hr.org or 1-800-381-TEST (8378). Thank you!
Emergency communications personnel play a critical role in public safety. Serving as the lifeline to first responders takes a special kind of person — it’s not something just anyone can do. We can help.
IPMA-HR’s Emergency Communications Center (ECC) tests and Realistic Job Preview are key to hiring candidates with the promise of becoming effective public safety telecommunicators (PSTs) — and to identifying personnel with promotional potential.
Entry-Level Stock Tests
Know which candidates will be successful on the job before you hire them. Our entry-level ECC tests assess the knowledge, skills, abilities and personal characteristics (KSAPs) necessary for success as a new public safety telecommunicator. No prior training or experience is assumed of candidates taking any of our entry-level ECC tests.

Supplemental Stock Tests
Candidates often have unrealistic or inflated expectations about the duties and responsibilities involved in the job for which they are applying — this is especially true of positions in public safety. Combine unrealistic expectations with a high-stress work environment and the results are low morale, low productivity, and high turnover.
ECC-RJP 101 was designed to create a customizable recruitment tool for ECCs interested in providing entry-level candidates with an understanding of what it’s really like to work in an emergency communications center.
Promotional Tests
Determining who will be promoted into the position of first-line supervisor of your emergency communications center (ECC) is a critical decision. You need someone with the communication and leadership skills to manage the day-to-day operations, train new PSTs, and oversee the ECC team charged with the well-being of your community’s public safety personnel. IPMA-HR’s promotional test provides you with the information you need to help ensure only the most highly-qualified candidates with the greatest leadership potential are promoted in your emergency communications center.
