1. EXPERT SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.1 Problem Domain
The Queensland Police Service (QPS) has a stringent application procedure for persons who do
not have any policing experience. The Police Services Administration Act 1990 (QLD) forms the
basis of the recruiting process to ensure that all applicants are fairly and equitably screened, that
discrimination is prevented and applicants are chosen on the basis of merit.
The selection process is conducted in three stages, all of which must be completely and
thoroughly satisfied. A brief description of the stages is as follows:
Stage1: Minimum Application Requirements must be met before submitting an
application. These include Australian or New Zealand residency, type of driver’s licence,
education level and employment details, life experience, integrity and personal conduct,
health, First Aid certificate and swimming proficiency.
Stage 2: Only after an applicant is successful in Stage 1 are they invited to undertake Stage
2 – Application Testing. This stage involves an assessment to determine suitability to become
a police officer. It involves psychometric testing, health assessment, panel interview,
integrity/conduct review and community/background enquiries. Again, progression through
to the next stage depends upon successful completion of all of these evaluations.
Stage 3: The Selection Committee is the final stage of the police recruiting process. The
committee assesses the applicants who have effectively passed the previous 2 stages and
makes a recommendation to the Manager of the Human Resources Development Branch
(HRDB). The Manager then decides whether to appoint the applicant as a recruit.
Even though there are strict criteria for moving from one stage of the recruitment process to the
next, it is stated on the web site for QPS recruitment
(http://www.police.qld.gov.au/join/recruitment/selectionProcess.htm) that
"Successful completion of all or any part of the selection process does not guarantee that
you will be selected or appointed as a police recruit. A limited number of positions are
available for each recruit intake and appointments are made on the basis of merit."
For the purpose of this report, this could be taken to mean that even though you may answer
“Yes” to a certain question, or “pass” a requirement, there are various levels of qualifying for
some of the conditions. For example, a candidate may do well in a physical examination, but if
they are exceeded by another candidate their ranking may be reduced. Similarly with the
integrity and conduct review – the scores awarded may be relative to other applicants.
Developing an expert system (ES) for this problem domain would assist the QPS committee
throughout the interview and screening processes, in all stages of assessment. The results would
then be used to inform their decision about whether to recommend an applicant to the HRDB.
Questions in all stages of the ES would result in either a “knock-out”, not to continue on to the
3
next stage, or a continuation on to answer further questions. The results in various tests,
examinations and questionnaires may be ranked and these could be translated into confidence
factors (CF) when answering the ES questions in the user interface. At the completion of the
analysis, the system will give a final confidence factor, which will be similar to a score. The
higher confidence factors will be awarded to those applicants who meet requirements and display
personal traits that make them desirable recruits.
The user would enter “Yes” / “No” answers for Stage 1 questions, mostly with CFs of 100
percent – residency, driver’s licence, First Aid certificate. Stages 2 and 3 would lend more
towards results with varying CFs, depending upon the more abstract assessments – integrity,
conduct, health, interviews and psychometrics. Thus, even though an applicant may extend all
the way through the 3 stages, their suitability may not be so high.
This expert system will assist in the process of screening an applicant for the process of joining
the QPS. Its intended users are members of the committee and/or management of the HRDB and
they are not expected to have any knowledge of the mechanism of the system. A simple user
interface will be designed for use within a web site and a series of questions will be asked of the
user. A confidence level will be required with each answer, from 60% confident to 100%
confident - complete certainty. The knowledge base will use pre-programmed rules to make a
decision on the applicant’s suitability and its degree. If there is a lack of information in any area
or question, the system should deem the applicant as inconsistent with its standards – the QPS
requires all conditions to be met.
1.2 Source of Expertise
The web site for the Queensland Police Service (http://www.police.qld.gov.au/join/recruitment/)

details the entire process for an applicant to join.
In developing the knowledge base for the expert system we also contacted two people who hold
varying levels of expertise on this subject, and for the purposes of this report, are considered
“experts”.
The first expert was Constable Simon Trapp who was recently accepted into the Queensland
Police Force by undergoing the exact process that the system describes. His input was invaluable
in verifying that the stages of the procedure were accurate and in the correct order.
The second expert was Helen who is employed by the Queensland Police Service in their
recruiting section and the questions asked of her were limited to clarifying the elimination
procedure if an applicant did not meet all criteria. She also verified the fact that, despite all
criteria being met, all applicants are not automatically accepted and the final decision to
recommend is made by the panel.

The benefits of acquiring the knowledge in this manner included:
- the information was readily available and did not have to be extracted using a lengthy
interviewing process, in which it often occurs that the expert is unable to clearly
articulate their knowledge;
- any statement from the web site that gave cause to question could be verified with a
human expert who was involved in the process;
- the web site contained a vast and easily understood quantity of information;
- the knowledge is well-stored, structured and quickly recovered if lost or forgotten.
1.3 Knowledge Engineering Process
The depth of information contained on the QPS web site was actually quite sufficient for the
expert system to be built in its initial stage. The site contains a flow chart and step-by-step
processes for a potential applicant to follow.
The initial stage in the knowledge engineering process was to extract the facts from the
information in the web site. As mentioned above, the majority of the information was acquired in
this way – an authoritative and endorsed web site proved to be highly informative and less prone
to any error in extraction or translation from a human expert. The site contained several
important types of knowledge in order for the system to be developed:
- rules and procedures regarding the general problem domain; in this instance, what the
expectations were of a recruit from the Queensland Police Service;
- rules or heuristics about what should be done in a given situation; for example, what
decision to make in the interviewing process if an applicant only narrowly passed a
particular test;
The facts were then represented as a set of IF-THEN rules in the knowledge base. These are the
conditions and conclusions for all of the specific situations that the system will handle.
Confidence factors were applied to each rule as we thought an expert (or panel of experts) may
apply a rating scale to an applicant’s criteria. An example of this would be the psychometric test
where there is a range of results, not just a simple “yes / no” answer. The higher confidence
factors indicate a better result or score.
To validate the knowledge we communicated with two “experts” – a newly successful applicant
and an employee who is involved in the actual process. The experts were given the sequencing of
the system to verify that the output was accurate given various scenarios and input. Helen from
QPS was also briefly questioned to clarify some ambiguities in the final stage of the application
process. Both experts agreed that the quality and logic of the system was acceptable and that the
facts were accurate.
The final expert system was developed using e2gLite, a computer application developed by
expertise2Go, who specialise in web-enabled Expert Systems. The shell enables the developer to
5
build a knowledge base within the shell, which is then accessed by the inference engine during
the decision-making process.
In developing this system, we had to make a decision with regards to how much information was
given to the user at the conclusion of the system’s procedure. In many cases, the inference engine
will perform a complete “knock-out” from the system, sometimes quite early – when the
applicant has not supplied enough information or has failed a section of the process, the system
will eliminate that applicant immediately, based on the QPS recruitment standards. In order to
enable a failed applicant to determine which part was insufficient or where they needed
improvement, we developed a second expert system to continue through the process to the last
criteria. Even in the event of an unsuccessful application, the candidate would receive output
stating all of the unsatisfied conditions as reasons for rejection.

4. EXPERT SYSTEM EVALUATION
The prototype system developed to this stage has a number of attributes that would make it
beneficial for use in the recruitment process of the Queensland Police Service.
The dual-system feature allows for better communication between would-be recruits and the
selection panel. Each unsuccessful applicant could be presented with a list of reasons why they
were eliminated, which enables both a positive dismissal and a chance for improvement should
they wish to re-apply.
The information contained in the knowledge base enables recruiters to immediately assess an
applicant’s suitability given the system input. The system is portable, accurate and easy to use
for novice and expert users alike.
The problems that we foresee in the current prototype are based on any changes that would need
to be made to the expert system. These changes would occur if the application process of the
Queensland Police Service were to alter in some way. The existing rules would need to be
adapted to accommodate a changed selection process and some would need to be re-ordered to
allow for different dependencies on other criteria
