The PCBS is designed to assist screening police candidates in several ways:

Identifies high risk candidates
Measure/quantify work-style, and other work-related behavior patterns
Identifies red-flag areas for a background investigator to check
Identifies work-style and behavior areas for a clinical psychologist to evaluate
Provides important information as early as possible in the screening process

The PCBS helps background investigators be more effective, allows police departments to compare their candidates with other candidates nationwide, and helps avoid wrongful hiring lawsuits.
