Annotation:   Full page color photos accompany this collection of quick glimpses into what police officers do.  The quality of the photographs is generally quite good, and a fairly multicultural cross-section of people is portrayed.   I was bothered, however, by the lack of connecting narrative thread... instead this title offers a series of random snapshots.  This would be a good supplemental title, and would be useful if the reader is comfortable with the lack of a unified narrative.
Others in this series include "Quiero ser doctor" and "Quiero ser veterinario".
