Oregon First Responder Evaluations (OFRE) provides pre-employment psychological evaluations for first responder positions across Oregon, including law enforcement, fire service, dispatch, and corrections. These evaluations support clear, well-supported hiring decisions for roles that carry authority, responsibility, and public trust.
OFRE uses a structured process organized around POST standards and established professional guidelines. Each evaluation integrates standardized psychological testing, a one-on-one clinical interview, and a thorough review of agency-provided background materials, with additional records reviewed when indicated.
Following the interview, and once all relevant information has been received, a comprehensive written report is typically completed within 1–3 business days. Reports are clear, thorough, and practical, giving decision-makers what they need to move forward with confidence.
OFRE provides structured, short-term mental health support sessions following officer-involved shootings, offering timely, individualized care to personnel impacted by critical incidents in the line of duty. Services are provided in accordance with ORS 181A.790.
Referrals are accepted from agencies partnered with OFRE. New agencies connect with us first.
