    Books

    I'm trying to find some books to study does anyone know about any? I mean I don't know which police officer books to get to study for the police test. Does anyone have any idea how to start with this? Thanks so much

    Check with the agency you plan to apply to. Every agency gives a different test. Mine will give you a reading list that may help you.
    Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine

    Go to your library or a bookstore and look in the self-help sections. You should be able to find preparatory books/manuals on taking a variety of law enforcement examinations. For example, I think ARCO and CLIFF'S likely publish the materials you may be looking for.

    I donno, I've spent a lot of time in bookstores lately as well as on Amazon, but I've never seen one entitled "Living with a Pedephile while trying to get a job as a Cop".

    Maybe there's one about "Associating with Felons & Law Enforcement Employment".
