This book is currently being used for the Lt's promotional exam in Houston, Texas. As promotional books, it is pretty useful. The text covers all of the topics that a supervisor/ manager should know (Management Styles/Leadership Theory/Communications, etc..) without going into too much depth as some texts do. There is enough material to make it challenging, but what is important to me is that after the test is over, there still is worth to this book. They list resources, ideas, and plans that can be converted to your departments use. If your studying, good luck. If you just want to pick up some ideas on the latest in police management theory, this is still a good book to study!

I do have one question for the authors if they ever read their reviews. Page 207... Sources of Organizational Stress... what happened to sources three and four???? I am hoping it is an editing error, cuz while I can stretch officers'views to fit #3, I cannot find #4 to save my life (or test score)... :)

came in faster than expected, in better shape than expected for used item and was packaged appropriately. very satisfied with purchase

This book arrived very quick and was in better than expected condition. I will order from again.
