Title: Political nonsense!
Review: I'm a police officer for a local agency in California, and this book was mandatory reading for the sergeants test. I've heard from other officers that this book was nonsense, but I approached the book with an open mind and read it anyways.It was a very tough read for me, because it was just a bunch of war stories about the author telling the reader how awesome he is.There are a lot of good things in the book that I agreed with. However these practices have been done in law enforcement before Jack Maple was even a police officer, and he steals the credit for these accomplishments.Because this is the latest trend in law enforcement, every politician and police administrator must have this book. But in short, just use the word "Community Policeing" in your grant writing, and your agency will get the money.
