Needed some guides for promotion preparation. This is one of several that I purchased, and I think all helped a little in different areas.
If you have a lot of time to prepare and study (and you always should be preparing for promotion in ANY job) then get as many books & guides as you can. They will help you do better now, and get recognized now. When promotion time comes - you will be ready!

This book is one of several required reading for the Stanard police supervisor promotion exam. If Stanard is using this to make up their test, it is little wonder people are rising to a level of their own incompetence. This book is boring, poorly organized, and generally full of complicated sentences that even a PHd would have trouble understanding. Although some ideas are good, the book does not flow well and therefore many concepts are lost in this wordy mess. Wake up Stanard, Municiple League, and administrators! A good supervisor should never be picked based on her/his ability to digest this type of ridiculous thrown together nonsense.

EFFECTIVE SUPERVISON BY HARRY MORE,ET AL, IS REQUIRED READING FOR AN UPCOMING PROMOTIONAL EXAM.HOWEVER I CONSIDER IT REQUIRED READING FOR ANY POLICE PROFESSIONAL. IT BRINGS POLICING INTO THE 21ST CENTURY WITH EMPOWERMENT OF SUBORDINATES, EVALUATIONS OF SUPERVISORS BY SUBORDINATES, REALCOMMUNITY POLICING AND AN END TO AUTHORITARIAN LEADERSHIP. A MUST READ FOR ANY POLICE OFFICER LOOKING TO BE A SUPERVISOR OR MANAGER. I PREDICT IT WILL BE THE BIBLE OF POLICE SUPERVISION FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. GOODBY NATHAN IANNONE.

This book is crammed full of good and useful ideas ranging from basic motivational psychology to the latest trend in "Community Policing". Some of the chapters really hit home and spell out clearly the problems and potential solutions facing modern police departments. However, a lot of the material is buried and hard to piece together due to poor wording and chaotic organization of the topics. This is especially annoying since the book is a common source text for many police promotional exams. As a supervisory reference, the book has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, due to the rambling paragraph structure the book falls woefully short as a source text and will leave the reader scratching his head in confusion as he struggles to draw out specific terms, definitions and outlines. Another setback is that the book is almost identical to the earlier 2nd edition. This hardly makes it a worthy purchase unless, like myself, you have to have it for a promotional test. Unless it is required reading, I suggest getting the 2nd edition at a used book store and saving some money. If this is a required test source at your department, consider finding the accompanying study guide to decipher the key concepts.
SUMMARY: Great content, poorly written. ***

This book is required reading for my department to take the Sgt's exam. If you have any problems going to sleep, read this and in 10 minutes you'll be out. There are a lot of good theories in this book, if you have any prior military service, you would have seen a lot of this before. It gives you a new insight on management, not leadership.
