Research has played an important role in identifying personality characteristics in police officers, such as impulsivity, antisocial tendencies, and entitlement, which increase the likelihood of misconduct. Police officers are subjected to a pre-employment psychological examination which commonly includes Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). Despite the thorough background investigation and psychological examination, police officer misconduct is still prevalent and the need to identify further problematic traits within police officer applicants is imperative. Narcissism has yet to be studied within police officers but contains personality traits such as grandiose sense of self-importance, arrogance, and lack of empathy, which may be detrimental traits in police officers. In an effort to measure narcissism using the MMPI-2, as well as the frequency of the personality trait within police officer, this study tested three hypotheses. H1: There will be a positive correlation between the MMPI-2 and the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) when administered to police officers. H2: Police officers will display an elevation in narcissistic personality traits. H3: The longer a police officer has been in the career, the lower the individual's narcissistic personality traits. The results of the study partially supported hypothesis one and found a correlation between the MMPI-2 and the NPI. Hypothesis two and hypothesis three were not found to be statistically significant.
