This book gives every thing from min. hiring requirments to pay and anticipated openings. I would get the most recent version though, as things change very rapidly in the LE feild.

It has a tremondus amount of great infomation. I still use it as a refrence, and share the info with my friends. Furthermore, the information is in great detail. I would recommend the book to anyone considering police work. Good Job! It worked for me! I found a job because of it!

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.

There are so many areas' and fields' in law enforcement, your book would be of great help to young people, even while in college.

Being in law enforcement for several years, I have spoken to many people about this field. I lent your book to a college student in the criminal justice course at mohawk valley community college. He, along with his teacher, found it to be very helpful. Looking forward to your next release.

Excellant! A must have for all criminal justice students & future cops. I recommend this book and U.S. Customs badge of dishonor as hand-books for all law enforcement and prosecutors.
