This book goes into a variety of possible careers working for government law enforcement agencies. It has a great overall approach, along with job overviews, necessary qualifications, etc. It also covers interview and resume skills for federal jobs, something I haven't found much in other books. If you want a broad overview of a lot of career options, this book is for you. If you are looking for detailed information about a specific job field, you might want to try reading something else.
