I know this has no vital information on what most of you guys/girls want to hear in this forum. But I though I'd put it out there and save some of you that are thinking of buying this crap some $$.

Everything is missing vital interim orders 10 months away from the exam. Why? Many of those orders have yet to be written and the cutoff for interim orders has not been announced yet!!! I personally have never used Cop Cards, but if you are trying to just familarize yourself with lists, numbers, actors, etc. at this early point in the game, they can't be any different from anything else you are studying at the moment.
How often does Looseleaf Law update the PG? Every 6 months? What about the KSA Procedural Manual? I guess the only thing that is constantly updated is the Fast Track Total Guide, that is while courses are in session.

You sound like you are the one behind cop cards. There is information missing and if I'm spending money to better myself for an exam you better believe I want nothing but the best. Their sgt cop cards link for the patrol guide was down for a month "due to update" but I got them a week ago and it was crap. I know school update their material every so often but the test was on schedule for June and got set back and they still put out outdated information.The Moral of the story is that cop cards is crap. People are better off creating their own cards.

I know. This is the first and last time I'm ordering this crap. You're better off creating your own cards.

Yea, you are right. You shouldn't be a Sgt on da job, but a 1st grade Detective. Its me. I am the one behind Cop Cards. I post on here to steer you towards buying them! Seriously? I just wrote I never used them, if you are saying they are no good and you used them, well then thank you for sharing that info.
But... if you are saying they are not updated with Interim Orders with an exam 10 months away, then that is not really a fair assessment when virtually nothing is up to date yet and many more interim orders will come out in the upcoming months making anything out right now outdated...

Lmao why so angry there buddy. I'm just giving my personal opinion, you are the one commenting I didn't ask you for advice. It was just based on my personal opinion. Seriously if you act like this towards a post I feel sorry for the perps you deal with on the streets.
We all know there will be new information and additional IO coming out but the current cop cards ARE NOT UP TO DATE to the current material. That is my point. Jesus I feel sorry for your squad if you are or will ever become a supervisor.

Was it really necessary to create 3 posts on this topic?? We get it already, cop cards are outdated and "Redalert" doesn't like them.

Agreed, helped me a lot. If you know cop cards cold, you can prob pick up 10-15 points.

I bought them but I didn't really find them useful. Just as many as the above posters have already stated, making your own is probably a better idea.
