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.

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!!

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.

This is the best and most detailed book out there about the interview process. It is very detailed and complete. Every question that I was asked in two different interviews was in this book. I ranked #1 in one of my interviews and have not received the results for my other interview. I give all the credit to this book. Had I not purchased it I would have been ill-prepared. Highly recommend if you want to pass the intimidating interview process and get into background.

When the book arrived, what a shock!! It was this photocopied, spiral bound book that appeared a gradeschooler put together at Kinkos. The copy was poor, appeared the photo copier itself was running low on ink. I was expecting something of better quality and durability. Further, the level in which it is written is very remedial and replete with grammatical, syntax and spelling errors. If I had paid $5 for this book it probably would have been worth it, but at $25, the photocopiers of this book are making a steal.

Pros
-Great Book
-Buy it
-It gives you some great practice questions and some good answers
-I like that it covers other areas
-If you want to be the best of the best, like somebody else posted, every little thing you do to prepare makes a difference.

Cons
-Book is a poor quality book for the price, but still worth it

I highly recommend getting this book to improve your interviewing skills. Do not follow the book to the T, but improvise. Reach out to other professionals and ask them how they would answer the questions. Best of luck

Buy this BOOK! I bought this book two weeks prior to my first review board. I was curious as to what questions I may be asked while in front of a review board/hiring panel. More than that I was worried about what answers I may give. This book eased my mind and prepared me for each step (including what to wear and how to sit).

I was asked 16 questions by the board with at least half of the questions having been in this book! (Probably more) I saw a review posted that someone did not like the "quality" of the book itself. Who cares? They could have sent me the info on napkins! This book gave me the extra confidence and answers I needed to walk away from the board with my head up. The Sergeant in charge of the review board told me afterward how impressed he was with me. Best $20 bucks I have spent in a long time.

I believe that this book is a must have for any individual that is interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement. It contains several helpful sections on how to dress during the interview, what to say, and gives a list of several questions and answers that you may be asked during the interview.
