With so many cop stories in the news today, this book helps the average person understand what it must be like to be a cop. It humanizes one's opinion of those who have chosen this career. It also makes one think: If I had chosen this path, would I have had what it takes to succeed? I don't plan on becoming a cop, but this book was very helpful in increasing my understanding of this difficult career.

This book is well written and easy to follow. I was going to start the police academy so i bought this book to get an insiders look on things. It has a lot of great info and is right on with how the entire process works and what to expect. Ive read this book three times and every once in a while I pick it up just to read a chapter or one of the authors real life stories. This book is perfect for someone that is going to be a police officer, for someone that wants to know how officers think or if your a vet and want to remember the good old days. I recommend this book!!

As Co-Author of this book , which was published in 1991 it has come to my attention that our Title,'So You Want To Be A Cop" which I and Co-Author Jeff Bonilla copyrighted has been used without our permission, or cheap rip-off's such as "So You Wanna Be A Cop", which is incorrect english for a title to begin with and I am sure the book is just as bad, have been used.

Our original Book, and it is original, is nothing like any other book you will find on this subject. It was both a groundbreaking book, and one so full of information that our old Police Academies would not let us market it to it's recruits. The Book was also used as a textbook at De Anza junior College's Police Reserve Class. People may try to rip off our original idea, but nothing will come close to the unbelievable content in our book, and previous descriptions of the goings-on inside the Police Infrastructure that most people never knew.

I am not trying to sell the book, I do not have to, the book does that by itself. Simply put it is a great book. However I would caution you NOT to waste money on cheap imitations like "So You Wanna Be A Cop", and others. Thank you and everyone, who has taken the time to review this book.
