Police Training Manual
This book is about 2 inches thick and is crammed full of useful and uderstandable information. It doesn't matter weather you're a regular or special it can only be of help to the reader.

Excellent addition to material supplied by during training
This book expands on the information supplied by the Police Training Colleges during your stage1 to 6 training. It helps you further understand the details of police law and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to do well. It explains clearly some of the subjects which can be difficult to grasp. It is expensive but well worth the investment.

Highly informative and easily understood
An exceptionally good book written with potential police officers and probationers in mind. It explains all aspects of the police from its formation in Anglo saxon times to current day. It also goes on to explain possible situations you may face as a police officer with youre powers and limitations explained in detail within the confides of the law. Highly recommended.
