Good Basic Information, Some Detail Inaccurate,
By A Customer
This review is from: Guide to Law Enforcement Careers (Barron's Guide to Law Enforcement Careers) (Paperback)
I have recently purchased this book to get information about agencies I where might want to apply. It provides the addresses and some phone numbers for most larger agencies. It was lacking in information for some of the smaller towns. In one instance, the name of an agency was incorrectly listed (I worked with this agency & knew first-hand what it should have been). This might be minor, but for an applicant sending a letter of inquiry, it would not look very professional to ask about employment if you don't know what the department's name is! Overall, though, the basic information is there (no web sites, though), and a little leg work can get you the rest.
