There are many companies out there that offer study guides for generic law enforcement exams. If the recruiter you spoke to recommended one over another – buy it and study it from cover to cover. The exam is often times your key into the rest of the application process. Do good, because if you’re applying with multiple agencies, you can expect that your results will be shared amongst the recruiters. Here are some more study tips for you:

I have been asking officers different question anytime I happen to run across one. This is definately a good resource for direct answers to any question you may have. I haven't done any ride alongs, but the suggestion is remarkable, I will most definately be doing that as well as purchasing the study guides. Thank you for the information...

Im taking the test on Sat. It seems that the test is a little different depending on the "agency" you are applying for. I'm going for Transit but seems that the test is a little different than county, state or sherriff department. Also Washington Metro is the only agency that they give its officers arrest powers in the tri-state(DC, Md, and Va) locals...

I am wanting to get into law enforcement. I have applied with several (the local Sherrifs Department most recently) agencies. It seems like my toughest challenge is with the oral boards. I feel like I belong in law enforcement and have had former officers that got to know me say I would do well, but am having a difficult time getting hired. Does anyone have any suggestions or words of encouragement?
