POLICE OFFICERS
by Paulette Bourgeois
Police Officers ($12.95; Apr.; 32 pp.; 1-55074-502-6): The duties of police officers are outlined in this entry in the In My Neighborhood series. Readers follow friendly officers as they respond to calls, crack open a bicycle theft case, and put the crooks into the system. The booking and legal process is briefly explained, as are other duties (e.g., crowd control), and different types of officers, from undercover cops to FBI agents. The book closes with a smart set of safety tips, making this not just for children interested in police work, but for adults who want to keep children alert and cautious. (Picture book. 4-8)
