excellent book
| Customer Rating: | | Very good book. Easy to read and it literally helped land me a promotion after reading it. |
Sergeant's test material
| Customer Rating: | | A must have for anyone attempting to advance their law enforcement rank here in NY State. |
The book needs updating.
| Customer Rating: | Like so many others, I purchased this book because it was on the reading list for our promotion exam. The book isn't as bad as it is dated. Most of the references are from the 1970s and 1980s. As a result, it covers several older issues, but does not address many current ones. You will not find a word on topics like cultural diversity, racial profiling, crime mapping or terrorism in the text.
It appears the book has not been significantly updated since before the creation of the personal computer. Chapter 5, entitled The Instructional Process, shows how dated the material is. The text states how expensive projected aids are, but nevertheless encourages "Videocasts and tapes, stereographs, overhead projection equipment, motion picture projectors with or without sound, opaque projectors, slides with narrated tapes, and a multitude of other devices will add greatly to the teacher's instructional efforts . . ."
The text still contains a lot of good information. However, when readers repeatedly encounter horribly dated passages, it forces them to question the validity of the entire book.
I know that this book is a staple on promotional exams, but it would be nice if either the authors updated it, or the exam creators actually read it and realized just how dated it is. |
Drawn out and boring, hard to understand
| Customer Rating: | | I found Supervision of Police Personnel (6TH) to be pretty much drawn out and boring. It is painfully evident that the same information could have been relayed in a lot less then 400 boring pages. It was difficult to follow and often repetitive. A lot of detail was focused on irrelevant material. This was a difficult book for me to swallow (as a 12 year LEO), but it certainly rated high as a sleep aid for me. |
Supervision of Police Personnel
| Customer Rating: | | It is a very good informational source for anyone that wants to pursue a promotion in police work. The review questions at the end of each chapter are convenient and helpful. |
