The ELPATA package I purchased was the reason I did so well on my application, oral boards, written exams and being
hired by what policepay.com considers to be (at my time of employment) the top paying police department in the country.

I was one of about 1,000 applicants. I had no prior law enforcement experience and North Las Vegas was the first and
only police department I had ever applied to. I was one of seventeen people hired out of the 1,000.

The investment in the package was well worth the pay off. The services provided by PoliceCareer.com are a hidden treasure."

Nick Monreal, of Arlington TX - quoted with permission.

Just a note of thanks. After reading your materials I passed my first interview and then the second interview for a
Regional Police Department in Canada.

For each interview I carefully reviewed your materials and felt my confidence grow. I had an edge thanks to you.

I have now been offered (and accepted) unconditional employment and start this Monday.

Erin Madill - Canada (quoted with permission)

I would like to thank you for aiding my preparation in becoming a police officer.

If you recall, I sent in the ELPATA - you scored and prepared an analysis for me which I truly feel was a tremendous help.

Your materials and books have been far superior to any of the other police employment books you can purchase in a book
store or online."

Ryan Johnson - Indianapolis, Indiana (quoted with permission)

I purchased the ELPATA package with Confessions of a Hardass. Your excellent products helped prepare me for all of the
exams and interviews.

I am happy to say I will enter the police academy in February. THANK YOU POLICECAREER!!"

Lisa Gunter - Cave Creek, Arizona - quoted With Permission

Your book, "Confessions of a Hardass", has been an incredible help to me. I live in Las Vegas, and I tested for Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department last year with little success.

But after I received your book, and put its principles to use, I scored a 97 on my very first oral board (with Henderson PD). I then scored a 94.6 on Metro's B-PAD, and a 96 on their oral board.

I am currently on both Department's hiring lists near the very top (Fourth with HPD, and Eighth with Metro).

This last week I received conditional offers of employment from both departments. I owe my success to you and your book. Thanks for helping me prepare and pass those interviews."

Matt Zobrist - Las Vegas, Nevada (quoted with permission)

I purchased your "Confessions of a Hardass" and the workbook and received it the night before my first oral board.

I read over it and the questions several times and today I passed the board on my 1st attempt. I don't think that would have been possible without your help."

Jason Freeman
Dallas, TX - quoted With Permission

Dear PoliceCareer.com,

Thanks for offering your "Confessions" book and the workbook and sample questions. I studied them religiously, and took my first oral boards last week....all scenarios....and got a very high score!!

Thanks again! I will refer others to you in the future!"

Tracy Thode - San Leandro, California (quoted with permission)

Dear PoliceCareer;

"I have received your Entry-Level Police Applicant Testing Assessment answer analysis that you prepared for me.

I was very impressed with your evaluations of my answers and I intend to pass your information along to my friends who are also in the testing process for various law enforcement positions.

Thank you again, it was money well spent!"

- Michael S. Recupito, Illinois - (quoted with permission)

I am mailing you to let you know how helpful your book, "Confessions of a Hardass" (and the sample questions), were to me.

I practiced and practiced all your sample questions, I even followed your guidelines and video taped myself a few times to watch my mannerisms and eye-contact.

Then as you suggested I graded myself via your grading guidelines and had my wife do the same.

This technique prepared me so well that I wasn't the least bit nervous and was able to come up with answers to the board's questions almost as soon as they had finished asking the question.

The best part of all is that I passed my interview on the first try and all I have left is my background check and the MMPI.

I can't thank you enough for all the help your books gave me. Thanks again for the help and your time."

Kyle A Butz - INDIANA - (quoted with permission)

Confessions of a Hardass made all the difference to me. I passed my oral interview the first time out! Many of the sample questions in the book were questions I was asked in my interview.

The book also helped my self confidence during the interview since I had an idea what to expect going in.

I have recently received an offer of employment by that same police department. Many thanks to PoliceCareer.com!"

Daniel DeLisa - Studio City, CA - quoted with permission

Just a brief note of gratitude for your insightful book "Confessions of a Hardass."

I purchased this book a few weeks ago and thoroughly read it, took notes and put into practice many of its suggestions.

Seeing what things are like from the interviewers' side really opened my eyes, and while I have achieved high scores on oral PD interviews before, never was one so important as this present interview was.

Thus, with a lot a personal preparation and help from your publication, my interview went almost perfect and I was appointed a position with an Ohio Police Department.

Once again, thanks - your book was the best investment I ever made."

Donovon M. Lee - Ohio - (quoted with permission)
