Personality Assessment inventory (PAI)
Clinical interview

CONN
All communication with Dr. Grossman when seen
in the OAP and any associated records are strictly
confidential. They are afforded the same
protection as other medical records. They may be
disclosed by personal waiver or as mandated by
law. Some of the most important exceptions are:
• Child abuse (physical or sexual) must be
reported to Child Protective Services for
investigation and elder abuse must also be
reported.
• Dr. Grossman, as a licensed mental health
provider, has a duty to warn potential
victims and law enforcement agencies if it
is believed a person being consulted
presents a serious threat of physical
violence.
• When the client is a danger to him/herself
or others, steps will be taken to ensure
safety.
• Communication with a minor is not
protected by law and parents have the
legal right to be kept informed of a minor's
treatment.
• When the client has raised the issue of
their mental or emotional condition in a
legal proceeding (e.g. stress and other
Workers' Compensation claims), records
may be subpoenaed.

Dear Robert:
I wish to alert you to the fact that my office will be closed beginning Monday May 26th (Memorial
Day) for a little over two weeks. The office will reopen on Wednesday June 11t . I am hopeful
that we can arrange for psychological evaluations to be performed before and after these dates

Please note that while I will be away, Dr. Dana Grossman will promptly attend to needs,
requests, and scheduling in my absence. Dana has access to records and will be able to make
appointments for psychological evaluations for me to complete upon my return. Should there be
a need to complete a psychological evaluation during my absence, Dana can also arrange for
that Dana can be reached at rny,offce phone number (858 560-0900).
l would:also like to make you aware of another issue at this time. For the past five years, I have
been able to control costs, and avoid an increase in the cost of pre -employment psychological
evaluations. Knowing the financial difficulties our community faces, I have resisted a fee
increase as long as possible. However, additional overhead costs, including increases in fees
for psychological test materials and scoring, has forced me to raise the fee f•r
evaluations. The fee for pre -employment evaluations will rise less than
evaluation. I trust that this very modest increase in fee will not be problemati
Thank you for accommodating Amy time away and for the continued support that I so much value.
While I do not often have an opportunity to say so, please know that your continued trust in
having me provide psychological services to you is greatly appreciated and prized.
Very truly,

PREPARED BY Robert A. Rounds, Ser•eant (ext. 4508) DEPARTMENT Police
EXPLANATION
According to Califomia Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) guidelines, police officers applicants must be judged
to be free from job -relevant psychopathology, including personality disorders, by a licensed psychologist before being hired. In order
to meet this requirement, the police department requires qualified applicants to submit to a Pre -Placement Evaluations and Pre -
Employment Examination. Historically, the police department has utilized the services of Dr. Grossman to administer Pre -Placement
Evaluations and Pre -Employment Examinations to police officer and police dispatcher applicants. This agreement is for the not -to
exceed amount of $51,000.00, from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, and provided that the parties may mutually agree to extend
this Agreement on the same terms and conditions for three additional one-year terms.
The Police Department has a department policy regarding both the mandatory and voluntary use of an Employee
Assistance Program. The department requires employees meet with a psychologist if certain situations arise. The department must
have a contract in place with a qualified physiologist to provide such services. According to department operating procedure #044,
an employee must meet with a psychologist if he/she is involved in a duty related shooting, aggravated assault resulting in serious
injury, duty related traffic collisions involving fatal injuries to another person, or upon the recommendations of his/her command if the
employee's behavior warrants such action (Fitness for Duty Evaluations). The department also utilizes a psychologist to assist with
critical incident de -briefing for other department employees affected by a critical incident such as an officer involved shooting, death
of an officer, death of a suspect in custody, etc....In addition, department operating procedures gives employees an opportunity to
voluntarily meet with a psychologist for matters affecting their job performance.
