5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fantastic Reading and Understanding, October 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Police Sergeant Examination Preparation Guide (Test Preparation Guides Series) (Paperback)

I just want you to know that I've read the book over and over, and I think it's one of the best books I ever read on Police Supervision. Easy to understand and I really like the way you explain your answers on all the tests. I haven't taken my Sergeant examination yet, but I feel very confident that I will do well on the test.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money., November 21, 2000

By A Customer

I found this book to be very useful while studying for the Police Sergeant examination. While I did not use the written test section, the section on supervisory theory was useful. However, the oral board section was what made this book an essential part of my study materials. Nowhere else did I find so much useful material on oral boards in one place. I credit this book with helping me attain the high score that I got.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I needed, March 9, 2007

By	Jason R. Bender "jrb" (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this book last minute before my promotional exam. Lots of good material if you have oral boards or in box tests...not so helpful if you're facing a multiple choice exam. Not enough "general" questions.
