This review is from: Barron's Police Officer Exam (Barron's How to Prepare for the Police Officer Examination) (Paperback)
I scored 98% with just one week of reading this book. Recommended for anyone who is serious about becoming a Police Officer. This is the best study guide for the Police exam.

This review is from: Barron's Police Officer Exam (Barron's How to Prepare for the Police Officer Examination) (Paperback)
I wanted to prepare as much as possible when it comes to becoming a cop. I had got this book because I wanted to learn more and know what I would be getting in an exam. When I flipped through this manual I was in total shock. I have never seen or read so much detailed information in my life. You can't go wrong with this book.
They help you understand police forms, legal definitions, preparation for oral exams, writing reports, how to take tests, police procedures and so on. This book isn't just about the exams. This book actually briefs you on becoming a cop and some of the things that you're gona come across or have to face. I got way more than I paid for.
This book is pretty cheap for so much information.

This review is from: Barron's Police Officer Exam (Barron's How to Prepare for the Police Officer Examination) (Paperback)
I used this book to prepare for the LAPD application process, and while the practice questions are great in getting you in the cop-mindset, many of them are much more detailed and police-oriented than the real thing. There's a good section that gets you ready for the oral interview, though, which adds value to the book. I'd recommend this to anyone needing practice prior to the written and oral police exams - better to use this and be over-prepared!
