1.0 out of 5 stars
Look elsewhere if you want to get in with the Feds.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Federal Jobs in Law Enforcement (Paperback)
"Federal Jobs in Law Enforcement" is another example of an ancient career book that should be taken off the shelf. Entry requirements, application procedures, training programs, and even the agencies have changed dramatically since this book was published in 1992. A much better choice is "Guide to Careers in Federal Law Enforcement," by Thomas H. Ackerman, which is by far the best book ever written on federal law enforcement careers. A good resource for history of the agencies is "Handbook of Federal Police and Investigative Agencies," by Donald A. Torres.

Good for history buffs, but not for job hunters!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Federal Jobs in Law Enforcement (Paperback)
I found this book to be of almost no value as a resource for finding a federal law enforcement job. It's fine as a history book, but not as a job search resource because almost all of the information has been out of date for years. Many of the jobs listed don't exist anymore, and there's no information on how to compete for a federal job. It was probably a good book when it came out eight years ago - if you were looking for a history of only the largest agencies - but not if you were looking for a job.
