 ExcellentNov 02, 2002
I scored 98% with just one week of reading this book. Recommended for anyone who is serious about becoming a Police Officer. This is the best study guide for the Police exam.

ExcellantSep 01, 2004
By SugaryLemons
I wanted to prepare as much as possible when it comes to becoming a cop. I had got this book because I wanted to learn more and know what I would be getting in an exam. When I flipped through this manual I was in total shock. I have never seen or read so much detailed information in my life. You can't go wrong with this book.
They help you understand police forms, legal definitions, preparation for oral exams, writing reports, how to take tests, police procedures and so on. This book isn't just about the exams. This book actually briefs you on becoming a cop and some of the things that you're gona come across or have to face. I got way more than I paid for.
This book is pretty cheap for so much information.

Good preparation - even more than necessaryDec 31, 2003
By J. Horowitz

I used this book to prepare for the LAPD application process, and while the practice questions are great in getting you in the cop-mindset, many of them are much more detailed and police-oriented than the real thing. There's a good section that gets you ready for the oral interview, though, which adds value to the book. I'd recommend this to anyone needing practice prior to the written and oral police exams - better to use this and be over-prepared!

Do not wait any more... Buy the damn thing!Mar 12, 2001
By James C Stuer Jr
For about a year now, I have been trying unsuccessfully to get into law enforcement agencies here in Texas. For one reason or another a failed a written test... Maybe an oral review board... Or maybe the physical test. I waited for a very long time before I purchased this preparation guide (which was a mistake). If I would have known now what I have known then... I could have been already working. It is worth it and "a need to get" item. Do not make my mistake and wait until you have enough time or down in a rut. Walk on water and buy it!

One of many good books that can get you into law enforcementApr 11, 2003
Barron's Police Officer Exam book is another example of the kind of quality Barron's is known for. I also used Barron's "How to Prepare for the GMAT" before I took - and passed - the FBI Phase I exam. Two books by Thomas H. Ackerman are also very helpful if you are seeking federal law enforcement employment, including "FBI Careers" and "Guide to Careers in Federal Law Enforcement." All of these books can give you an edge on other applicants, which is what you need to be competitive and get hired.
