Law Enforcement Psychological Services

What Law Enforcement Psychological Services does

Law Enforcement Psychological Services, Inc. (LEPS) is a privately held professional services firm specializing in psychological assessment for police and public safety agencies. Founded by Michael Roberts, Ph.D., ABPP, a recognized pioneer in law enforcement pre-employment psychological screening with over 40 years of experience, the firm is headquartered in Los Gatos, California. It is the oldest and largest police psychological screening firm in the San Francisco Bay Area and describes itself as one of the biggest independent firms in the United States. LEPS is co-owned by founder Michael Roberts and his son Ryan Roberts, J.D., Ph.D., with both holding ABPP board certifications relevant to the practice.

The firm operates a portfolio of six core service lines: pre-employment psychological evaluations (offered in classic post-offer and bifurcated two-phase formats compliant with the 9th Circuit Leonel v. American Airlines ruling), fitness for duty evaluations, critical incident debriefs, wellness coaching, CCW psychological evaluations, and telehealth-delivered assessment services. Its technology stack consists of a HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing platform integrated with JRA, Inc. online assessment tools, supporting a hybrid in-person (Los Gatos office) and remote delivery model. LEPS also operates a co-owned subsidiary, Public Safety Psychological Services (PSPS), which extends the firm's telehealth footprint nationally from Alaska to the Washington, D.C. metro area.

LEPS generates revenue on a professional services basis, charging per-evaluation or contract fees to client agencies. Its customer base is exclusively government, comprising municipal, county, and state law enforcement and public safety agencies primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area and through larger department contracts across the country, with rural and smaller departments served via telehealth. GTM motion is enterprise field sales grounded in direct relationships and the founder's established reputation rather than digital marketing. The firm has no external institutional investors and operates as a bootstrapped, family-controlled professional services business.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Lexipol: Large public safety content, training, and wellness platform serving thousands of U.S. law enforcement, fire, and EMS agencies. Through its acquisition of Cordico, it competes in officer wellness—a key adjacency to LEPS's wellness coaching and critical incident debrief offerings—but as part of a much broader policy, training, and risk management portfolio.
• Personnel Decisions Research Institutes (PDRI): Pioneer in industrial-organizational psychometrics and selection system design for public safety, defense, and corporate clients. Broader portfolio than LEPS but historically engaged on police officer selection methodology, including competency modeling and assessment center design.

Emerging players

• Cordico (Lexipol Wellness): Public safety-specific wellness and behavioral health platform acquired by Lexipol, providing confidential wellness resources and behavioral health screening for first responders. Most direct overlap with LEPS's wellness coaching and critical incident debrief services, but delivered through a SaaS/app model rather than psychologist-led tele-sessions.

Direct peers

• Public Safety Psychological Services (PSPS): Co-owned subsidiary of LEPS that delivers the same police/public safety psychological services (wellness, critical incident debriefs, fitness for duty) nationwide via telehealth, from Alaska to the D.C. metro area. Operationally identical service line, distinct geographic focus, jointly controlled by the Roberts family.
• The Counseling Team International: National provider of critical incident stress management (CISM), employee assistance programs (EAP), and workplace crisis response for first responders, healthcare, and corporate clients. Overlaps directly with LEPS's critical incident debrief and wellness coaching services for public safety agencies.
• I/O Solutions: Established public safety assessment firm widely used by U.S. police agencies for pre-employment psychological screening and entry-level law enforcement tests. Competes with LEPS for the same agency RFPs with a comparable psychometric assessment-plus-interview model.
