“Dr. Birkley continues to be a trusted, competent, and valuable resource for the Cincinnati Police Department and our continued commitment to officer wellness.”
Police Chief Teresa A. Theetge, Cincinnati Police Department
Mission to serve first responders and their agencies
Trustworthy Expertise.
I am a first responder psychologist with the gold-standard industry training, ethical practice, and competency your agency and our first responders deserve.
Quick & Confidential.
Getting a handful of applicants when you used to get hundreds?
Agencies must move quickly to obtain and retain talent and assess their psychological suitability. Your candidates are scheduled within 2 weeks and a report is in your hands in 3 to 5 days.
First Due Attitude.
I want to get to know the culture of your agency to best serve your first responders - invite me to a dinner at the station or allow me to accompany an officer on a ride along.
