What is POCI?

The Police Officer Competency Index (POCI) is a developmental leadership readiness diagnostic used in law enforcement. It measures leadership tendencies across four domains: strategy, interpersonal engagement, ethics, and professional proficiency to support coaching, development, and succession planning.

POCI: An Introduction

This video provides a brief overview of the POCI model, why competency—not personality, tenure, or rank is the foundation of effective leadership, and how identifying your baseline strengths and gaps can support meaningful professional growth.

Designed for Growth, Not Judgment

POCI is not a test and not a promotion or discipline tool; it identifies strengths, growth areas, and leadership patterns to help agencies prepare future leaders. Its purpose is to strengthen organizational continuity and leadership bench strength over time.
