Don't Waste Your Money,

This review is from: Protecting the Republic: The Education & Training of American Police Officers (Paperback)
I've been a police trainer since 1983, and I'm always looking for new ideas and new perspectives. In this book, there are none. NONE! It's a wasteland - an intellectual "air biscuit."
5.0 out of 5 stars
AN EXCELLENT POLICE BOOK,
By A Customer
This review is from: Protecting the Republic: The Education & Training of American Police Officers (Paperback)
This book is an excellent review of the way police officers are trained, and what they do. It will also really help someone who is thinking about policing as a career. That's why I read it!
