Abstract
Application procedures for State jobs are outlined, and sample application forms are provided. Samples of official and unofficial job announcements also are presented. The nature of the work, places of employment, required training and qualifications, the employment outlook, earnings and working conditions, and sources of additional information are discussed. Sample examinations, in multiple choice format, are provided. The first sample practice examination includes three tests of judgment and reasoning, two reading comprehension and interpretation tests, and a test requiring arithmetic computations. An investigator quizzer provides questions on reasoning and criminology, firearms, investigations and reports, and evidence. A test on law enforcement officer judgment is included, along with a glossary. Three tests cover State penal and corrections law. Information on report preparation and charging of suspects is presented and followed by tests. A final sample practice examination covers judgment and reasoning, comprehension and interpretation, and arithmetic computation. Answer keys follow all sample tests.
