I borrowed two books from the library about Police Officers. The first was A Day in the Life of a Police Officer by Heather Adamson. This book had great photographs and the information was presented simply, but it was really just a list of facts.
The second book was Policeman Small by Lois Lenski. Policeman Small is a traffic cop who stands in the middle of the street and directs the traffic. It is written as a story, but isn't factual for today -- at least not where we live. However K. did enjoy this book. I had a problem with the story line -- I'm just not sure how the children could go to school at 8:30 in the morning and then be at the circus parade with their parents at 11:00.
If anyone knows of a book that presents the job of a modern day police officer in a story, let me know!
