Here are the textbooks and modules used, with the chapters shown for each module. Click on the link shown for the chapter content descriptions for each book.

When designating a book for use in testing, you can designate the whole book or just certain modules (relevantly linked chapters), making it easier to designate what your officers will need to study from one, two or more textbooks.

We offer low cost CUSTOM TEXTBOOK PRINTING through our partnership with Prentice Hall / Pearson Group where you can custom print only the chapter modules you need from one or more textbooks, and keep the printed books for longer-term future testing. Your agency saves from 40 - 60%+ off the cost of regular textbooks. If your agency will be testing from the same book or book combination in the future, this is highly cost-effective because you will own and be able to re-use these custom printed books for as long as needed.

Or, you can use our link to Prentice Hall to buy these books direct from the publisher at a discount. For large quantities (10 or more) or if paying by P.O. contact the publisher's representative directly;

There is also the low-cost eBook Rental Option available from CourseSmart. If you do not plan to give another exam from the textbook in the foreseeable future, the eBook 60 or 90-day online rental is a very cost-effective option to consider. They rent as eBooks many of the police promotion textbooks which we offer for testing. Click the banner below for their online catalog. Links to individual eBooks on their site also appear with the textbooks below.

Here are some of the most-used, valid, job-related, legally defensible and most successful police promotion textbooks used today. They successfully cover all ranks, from Corporal to Chief. There are other similar law enforcement textbooks, so if you don't see material that suits your agency, contact us and we can send you a complete list and discuss current police promotional textbooks that our experts and those in other police agencies highly recommend.

Before you choose any non-police titles for testing, such as "trendy" leadership or business titles not specifically written for law enforcement use, remember that job-relatedness and validity are very important topics to consider so that your agency's exams will be 100% legally defensible.
