[.ca] Police Officer Exam (ISBN 0764124102)

Solid. pertinent info:
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

VERY Informative:
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.

One of many good books that can get you into law enforcement:
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.

Good preparation - even more than necessary:
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!

Excellent:
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.
