CPI 260 Law Enforcement Orientation Scale

 

Author: Harrison G. Gough

The Law Enforcement Orientation (Leo) Scale measures an individual’s suitability for roles requiring vigilance, adherence to regulations, and maintaining public safety. It emphasizes a commitment to justice, reliability under pressure, and the ability to make quick, ethical decisions. This scale reflects how well a person aligns with the demands of law enforcement or similar fields.

The scale is part of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), a well-established tool for understanding personality characteristics that contribute to effective behavior in various contexts. This scale is frequently used in leadership development and organizational coaching to identify strengths and developmental opportunities.

The goal for Leo was to create a measure that would identify people who would be comfortable working in law enforcement or related occupations, and who would perform well in such work. (p. 51)

It is clear that scores on Leo convey useful information, beyond any narrow focus on law enforcement issues. High-scorers appear to be straightforward, down-to-earth, pragmatic, conventional, uncomplicated, trustworthy, and hard-working, but not much inclined to innovate or follow new pathways. (p.51)
