4.0 out of 5 stars Promotional reference material., February 21, 2009

By	Sunshine "Smile" (Michigan) - See all my reviews

If you have to read a book for promotion, this is better than many. It flows well and is not too rigid. It gives clear examples and a good summary at the end of each chapter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read, February 25, 2006

By	William T. Tennill "ksp125" (Kentucky) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Management and Supervision in Law Enforcement (with InfoTrac) (Hardcover)

I was tasked with reading this for a promotional test. It has lots of good infomation and makes for an easy read. Some of the chapters contain too much information making it difficult to retain but overall a good resource.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review for "Managment and Supervision in Law Enforcement", May 19, 2009

By	J. Montgomery (Spokane, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received this book in a timely fashion, but it was not as new as it was posted online (even though it said used, but in good condition or fairly good condition). The edges of the book were bent and the top right corner of the front cover looked as if it had been bent back a little bit producing a crease in the cover.
