4.0 out of 5 stars Quick & Easy, January 16, 2007
This review is from: Police Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain Promotion Exams (Paperback)
Great basic info and helps you plan your preparation for promotion. Most of these books are very much the same, but this one covers most all of the variables they all seem to have.

I got promoted first to corporal, then sergeant within two years so it worked for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Study Aid, August 25, 2008
This review is from: Police Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain Promotion Exams (Paperback)
This book is an excellent companion to your study material. The hints they give you are for the "buzz-words" that civil service examiners love to use in test questions. They certainly don't guarantee a correct answer, but when you're stuck, knowing those key words and/or phrases can bail you out. The practice exams in this book are more than worth the price of purchase. This book definitely helped me with my promotion exam.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Police Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain Promotion Exams (Paperback)
First, I'd like to give the disclaimer that I've only taken promotion exams in NY. This book is good for NY police promotional exams, as it goes over a lot of reading interpretation and Iannone concepts, but if you're outside of NY, caveat emptor.

One of the authors of this book runs prep courses in NY. Going over this book (which of course he listed as suggested reading in his course :-)) and looking at his course material, I can say that the book is the Reader's Digest version of parts of his course. I'm purposefully being vague because I don't want it to seem that I'm advertising for them, but that course, along with his lectures and classes, hitting Iannone's book hard, assorted NYS law books, and then using this book as a quick question bank/refresher guide helped me greatly. Even though I recommend it (especially if your jurisdiction uses Iannone's "Supervision of Police Personnel" for exam material) don't rely just on this one book though, devour as much info as you can. It's your career, why skimp on it?
