3.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable,
By Allen97 (Manhattan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breaking and Entering (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the closest thing to being on the streets and going through the academy without being on the streets and going through the academy.I've read Pure Cop and hope to read What Cops Know soon. I love Fletcher's stuff and I am a feminist. I would have preferred she clean up the text a bit; seems Fletcher just wrote down what the women said without explaining some of it. I was confused a bit. Overall, however, I'm glad she did us this service of writing this book.

You thought that all cops were the same?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking and Entering (Mass Market Paperback)
Well as you read this book you will discover that not only has the road into the largest boys club in the world been rough for women around the US it is not over. Humorous and shocking tales of what the female police officer has had to endure to get into the Job. Covers all states and all types of females in law enforcement from city to federal

Shocking wake up call,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking and Entering (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great book. Although I haven't seen anything real blatant at my department I'm sure some of it lurks. This book should definitely be required reading for all recruits going into the academy.
