Question
I am about to apply for a position as a Sheriff Deputy and will be taking the entry exam. It has been a few years since I was in school and would like to know if there are resources online that I can study to prepare for the written test. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Joe

Answer
Joe,

Thanks for the question.

If you go to Thomson/Wadsworth Publishing they have a lot of resources online. I am not sure of their exact www. address, but if you Google them it will come up.

You can also go to just about any book store and purchase a police exam manual.

Hope this helps you out.

Good luck & best wishes!
