5.0 out of 5 stars CPOA Approved, January 27, 2000

By 

Scott Hunter (Westfield, IN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Police Officer Exam: California: Complete Preparation Guide (Learning Express Law Enforcement Series California) (Paperback)

The CPOA (California Peace Officer's Association) has finally given their approval to one of the peace officer preparation books. Although there are many books, this is the first book to be written with California's Civil Service testing process in mind. Other states have different methods for application, but this book zeros in on the information needed for California. I recommend this book to any applicant for a California Peace Officer position.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me get the job I have today!, December 13, 2001

This review is from: Police Officer Exam: California: Complete Preparation Guide (Learning Express Law Enforcement Series California) (Paperback)

This was my first civil service exam, and I wanted to be prepared. I looked at more than six different books, and decided on this one. On test day, when I opened the test booklet...I knew I picked the right study guide. The test I took was EXACTLY the same format, just different words and situations. The practice tests and other study aids provided within this book made the exam a breeze. I scored the second highest in the group, and I was offered a job with every law enforcement agency I applied for. I'm almost done with the police academy, and I'm working for the agency I really wanted to work for.
It's a great feeling to be prepared, and I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in testing for law enforcement agencies in California. GOOD LUCK!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars More sailent to Law enforcement in California., March 14, 2002

This review is from: Police Officer Exam: California: Complete Preparation Guide (Learning Express Law Enforcement Series California) (Paperback)

I ordered this book along with, "Police Officer, 14th Edition
by Hugh E. O'Neil," for my brother as he intended to enter into the academy here in California. He did pass his test (after a couple tries) so I am giving this 4 stars. It is the better of the two I ordered, and had more specific information tailored to the specifications of the california law enforcement exam.
