All around a good book for the Hiring Process.......2007-10-23
I bought this book in addition to Barron's Police Officer Exam book. I found that the sample tests in the Barron's book were more like the actual written exams I have taken, however, the Arco book had a lot of extra information to help you out with the oral interviews and psych evals which made it a better all around book. Id recommend getting both, but if you can only get one, Id choose the Arco.
Terrific.......2006-03-22
The Master The Police Officer Exam does an excellent job. The tests are very helpful!
In a class of its own .......2005-10-22
I closely scrutinized a half dozen cop test prep books and purchased another besides this one. 'Master the Police Officer Exam' is significantly above the others. Its greatest strength is that it seems to be written by someone who knows specifically about cop tests- not just tests in general. There is above and beyond detailed information not just on the many aspects and types of written exams, but also the different video tests. In addition, its many practice tests are authentic and are from different sources (NYPD and NCJOSI).
Book Description
Updated to reflect the most recent exams given across North America, this test prep manual presents four full-length practice exams with all questions answered and fully explained. Tests include two that were actually given by the New York City Police Department. Brand-new in this edition is a completely new diagnostic exam. It contains the latest question types found on recent police entry-level exams and guides candidates in quickly directing and focusing their study efforts. Other helpful features include instruction on writing police reports, advice on making the right impression at an admissions interview, an overview of police officers' responsibilities, and additional practice questions with answers, which follow in-depth explanations of each question type normally found on official police officer exams.

Barron's police officer exam booklet.......2007-09-06
Since buying this book I have taken 2 test for law enforcement/security postitions. Before the test I was able to read about 60 percent of the book and take a few of the practice test. I certainly felt more prepared having the book even though I only passed one test with flying colors.
From my own personal experience I did not recieve any memory questions, which I had practiced for using this book. I also found that there were a decent amount of spelling and grammar questions, and this book doesn't seem to have any grammar practice questions.
Recently I just purchased Barron's Correction officer exam practice booklet. While the book and questions are very similar, the correctional book will help with your grammar.
If your new to these test or if you want to brush up on the basics, then purchase one of Barron's booklets. I passed a test for one of best police force in the country and I owe some credit to this book.
Police Exam Book.......2007-05-09
This book has helped me with what to expect on the police exam. If I didn't purchase it, then I would have no assitance on being prepared for the exam.
Very Good.......2007-04-11
This book has very good information for those who wants to take the Criminal Justice Basic Ability test.
Item not received.......2007-01-09
This item was purchased on October 18, and was not received. My money was refunded.
Excellant.......2004-09-01
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.

police exam.......2006-08-22
I,M PLEASE TO SAY THAT IT IS GOOD ORDERS THIS BOOK I WILL BE ORDER SOME MORE . THANK U
This book will help you pass the written exam!.......2003-01-26
I bought this book because I didn't have any idea what was on the police written exam. The application for police officer in my state just mentions "Reading Comprehension and Writing Skills". This book helped me understand what would be on the test and I passed it on my first attempt.
I found out recently that over 400 applicants took the written exam and only about 120 passed it. I am now on phase five of a twelve phase process for "Metropolitan Police Recruit" and I give thanks to this book. If your state tests you on Reading Comprehension, Writing, Spelling, Vocabulary and Puncuation this book might help you.
Don't Even Bother!!!.......2001-03-16
I have been struggling for a while to get through the written exams and oral interviews within different police agaencies here in Texas. So, one day (just recently) I decided to purchase 3 books to help me to prepare for up coming exams. When it comes to this book... Don't even bother. It is not even worth the paper it is printed on. Unless yopu need paper for the out house or for the bird cage... Then, I might suggest this book. But I do strong suggest Barron's: Police Officer Exam by Donald J. Schroeder & Frank A. Lombardo or Norman Hall's Police Exam Preparation Book. I cannot say enough about these two resources. But! As for this wasted purchase... I tell you what... Take the love of your life out instead. You'll be better off.

Not Very In Depth.......2007-01-02
This book really didn't go very deeply into the strategies that help increase your score. He spent a lot of time explaining grammar, but not so much explaining the basic ideas that went into the actual police policy sections of the practice tests. It just wasn't very helpful. I put it down after I found the second typo that changed whether I thought an answer was right or not. (In the reading section, the crime was listed as occurring at 4:30 AM, and he had listed the correct answer as the choice that contained the time as 4:30 PM, among other things.)
Doesn't help at all.......2004-08-23
This book adds nothing to the preparation for the police exam in California.
Not relevant to Australian candidates.......2003-01-23
I purchased this book with the hope that there would be more focus on the oral interviews and tackling the MMPI/ Psychology testing... but this isn't the case.
Most of the book focussed on the US written exams with 4 main question/ answer analysis and only a cursory overview of the oral stages. If you are in Australia and want information on how to tackle the face to face aspects of your police recruitment then don't bother buying this book- try and find a more specific title. There appeared to be some on the oral interviews but they were out of print. Good luck with your interview !!
Not for todays exams.......2001-01-07
This book does not help out anyone who already has a high school education. The book contains elementry practice tests that are NOT useful for tests given in this era of recruitment.

Still good in 2005.......2005-04-19
I used this book to prepare for the SFPD examination one week in advance. The question types outlined in the book were exactly the same type of questions in the examination. Knowing what kind of questions to expect and how to handle them definitely helped me pass the test. The book also has some interesting information about a career in law enforcement. My only qualm with the book was that the questions themselves were not challenging enough. The SFPD exam had more questions that the sample tests of the book. The SFPD exam questions were also a bit more difficult. There is a 2nd edition of this book out. I haven't had the chance to look at it but it seems that it is cheaper and may be a better preparation tool than the 1st edition. Overall a good study guide even though it was published in 1996.
Where do they get this stuff???.......2004-08-23
I bought this book to review for the police exam and completely failed! The examples in the book didn't look anything like the questions in the actual exam. I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about, but this can't be the book that they're claiming to be good. It was a total waste of money.
More sailent to Law enforcement in California........2002-03-14
I ordered this book along with, "Police Officer, 14th Edition
by Hugh E. O'Neil," for my brother as he intended to enter into the academy here in California. He did pass his test (after a couple tries) so I am giving this 4 stars. It is the better of the two I ordered, and had more specific information tailored to the specifications of the california law enforcement exam.

Loaded with solid info that relates to exactly what you need to pass this difficult test. Get a jump on the competition and get this book.

This book helped me get the job I have today!.......2001-12-14
This was my first civil service exam, and I wanted to be prepared. I looked at more than six different books, and decided on this one. On test day, when I opened the test booklet...I knew I picked the right study guide. The test I took was EXACTLY the same format, just different words and situations. The practice tests and other study aids provided within this book made the exam a breeze. I scored the second highest in the group, and I was offered a job with every law enforcement agency I applied for. I'm almost done with the police academy, and I'm working for the agency I really wanted to work for.
It's a great feeling to be prepared, and I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in testing for law enforcement agencies in California. GOOD LUCK!!!

Book Opinion.......2006-10-10
Good book but I don't recommended it for no one who's planning on taking a law enforcement test. There aren't enough reading comprehension exercises to choose from and the ones that are don't equate to the material that will be administered in the actual police examination.
