Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Sergeant's test material
A must have for anyone attempting to advance their law enforcement rank here in NY State.
Rating: - The book needs updating.
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Drawn out and boring, hard to understand
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.
Rating: - Supervision of Police Personnel
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.
Rating:  - Don't pay for this book...
Don't spend a dime...borrow it from a fellow Officer. I am a firm believer in capitalism, but these guys are really pushing the envelope. $99.00?! Nathan can keep the book!
Is the content any good? Yes, it is solid, however basic, leadership for Police Officers. But $99.00?! Go read something by Covey...it is a hell of a lot cheaper and far less boring.
