Law Enforcement Jobs

Police-Writers.com is a website dedicated to listing state and local police officers who have authored books. Frank Pickens and Jeff Bonilla were added to the list of authors who have written books on how to start a career in law enforcement, policing and criminal justice.

Police officers Frank Pickens and Jeff Bonilla of the Burlingame Police Department are the authors of So you Want to be a Cop. According to the authors, “When the idea for this book first came to us, we were parked side by side in our patrol cars, talking about the many ups and downs of being police officers. We began to discuss the many books about cops that had been written over the last few years, and it became apparent to us that there wasn't a current book out that gave anyone interested in police work any insight or guidelines on what to expect in a career as a police officer.

According to one reader/review of So you Want to be a Cop, “This book is well written and easy to follow. I was going to start the police academy so i bought this book to get an insiders look on things. It has a lot of great info and is right on with how the entire process works and what to expect. I’ve read this book three times and every once in a while I pick it up just to read a chapter or one of the authors real life stories. This book is perfect for someone that is going to be a police officer, for someone that wants to know how officers think or if you’re a vet and want to remember the good old days. I recommend this book.”

Previously added books on law enforcement, police officer and criminal justice careers by police officers include Barry Baker’s Becoming a Police Officer, Wayne LeQuang’s How to Become a Peace Officer and Raymond E. Foster, editing of the Learning Express Police Officer Exam book.
