Since buying this book I have taken 2 test for law enforcement/security postitions. Before the test I was able to read about 60 percent of the book and take a few of the practice test. I certainly felt more prepared having the book even though I only passed one test with flying colors.

From my own personal experience I did not recieve any memory questions, which I had practiced for using this book. I also found that there were a decent amount of spelling and grammar questions, and this book doesn't seem to have any grammar practice questions.

Recently I just purchased Barron's Correction officer exam practice booklet. While the book and questions are very similar, the correctional book will help with your grammar.

If your new to these test or if you want to brush up on the basics, then purchase one of Barron's booklets. I passed a test for one of best police force in the country and I owe some credit to this book.

This book has helped me with what to expect on the police exam. If I didn't purchase it, then I would have no assitance on being prepared for the exam.

This book has very good information for those who wants to take the Criminal Justice Basic Ability test.

This item was purchased on October 18, and was not received. My money was refunded.

Once you've successfully lied your way on the department - by being a consistent liar and when accused of lying or withholding information - your number one job will not be to serve and protect the public, but to cover for the dirty, racist, and Civil Rights violating police officers who are on the department with you.

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.

The best thing that you can do for yourself is find out what is on the test that you'll be taking. I used this book to study and the test i took couldn't have been further from the topics discussed in this book. It is a great way to get yourself to study better and think more bout the answers you give.

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!

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.

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.

Great prep for a police job. Tons of info vital for the test and vital for the job. In fact, working cops should get it to fill in the gaps and to have a solid foundation to build on for a promotional exam.

Loren W. Cristensen, author of Deadly Force Encounters : What C0PS Need to Know to Mentally and Physically Prepare for and Survive a Gunfight

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!

This book is a powerful, solid police officer reference book that will answer all your questions and much, much more. Why haven't you bought this yet?
