Hi-
I am scheduled to take the Intro to Law Enforcement Dantes Exam in 2 weeks and have studied the InstantCert course module extensively for this subject.
Has anyone taken this exam? What tips or insight can you offer that might help?
Thanks

Notes,
I took this exam 12 years ago, so things may have changed. But, at the time it covered the beginning of law enforcement. Starting with the penal code of the anicent world. But, you really need to know is how England formed the foundation of our present criminal justice system. i.e., from the night watchman to organized patrols to criminal laws. I haven't looked at the IC study guide for this test, but my college major is in criminal justice/law enforcement and every course I've taken refers back to the beginnings of law enforcement.
Also, I had just graduated from the police academy when I took this test on a whim and without studying and I got a 52 which EC considers a "B". This and the Criminal Justice test go hand in hand. Again, I'd study the history of how law enforcement started.
Good luck - you'll be great!
