4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful book, but note that it is only 54 pages, February 23, 2006

This review is from: How to Prepare for an Interview and Obtain a Job as a Law Enforcement Officer (Plastic Comb)
This book has a narrow focus that addresses one of the most challenging parts of the application process.

It has the information you need, but it is only 54 pages which makes it expensive when you add shipping as well.

For me this book was worth the cost as I'm trying to give myself every advantage possible, but if you're on a budget, you might want to consider getting a more general book first and then buying this only if you are still concerned about how your oral interview might go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book!!, September 23, 2005
This review is from: How to Prepare for an Interview and Obtain a Job as a Law Enforcement Officer (Plastic Comb)
I purchased this book for my boyfriend who had recently graduated from the Police Academy. This book helped him prepare for the application process as well as interviews. A lot of specific, detailed info was given. It even gave him suggestions on how to dress for the interview.
Excellent book for anyone aspiring to be in Law Enforcement!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, July 28, 2005

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How to Prepare for an Interview and Obtain a Job as a Law Enforcement Officer (Plastic Comb)
Being that I am taking steps to enter law enforcement, this book was a great help. The introduction explained all of the options for law enforcement and what each involved.

The most help to me was the practice questions for the oral exam. Many of these questions were somewhat addressed, and it helped me properly prepare for my future career. I will guarentee that they have some of the same types of questions that you will be asked for departments such as LAPD and BHPD.

Good luck with your future careers, and if you really want a jump ahead of the rest, purchase this book.
