Abstract
The guide presents over 600 multiple choice questions which were carefully selected from superior officer examinations covering the most important duties and responsibilities of the supervising police officer. Questions are presented in seven sections covering leadership and supervision, police administration and management, criminal investigation techniques and criminalistics, police judgment and reasoning, community and human relations, and reading comprehension and interpretations. At the end of each section, the questions are followed by answer keys and explanations of why the selected answer is correct. Many questions are followed by explanations of why incorrect answers should not be selected.
