Product Description

Designed to mirror the best-selling Blackstone's Police Manuals, this series is written by experienced question writers. Each Q&A book contains 100s of multiple-choice questions designed to reinforce knowledge and understanding of all four Police Manuals, and to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in that knowledge. Following subjects in the same sequence as the Manuals and drawing upon the relevant text, the Blackstone's Police Q&As 2008 are essential revision for all police officers sitting the Sergeant's Part 1 promotion examinations. The 2008 editions of this popular series contain substantial updates, reflecting changes to the 2008 versions of the Blackstone's Police Manuals, and also contain handy paragraph references to the relevant Manual and a question checklist to mark the answers. This new edition focuses on General Police Duties and has been revised and updated to include new questions on important areas such as the Police and Justice Act 2006, the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 and the Violent Crime Reduction Act. Other titles in the series are: Crime Q&A 2008, Road Policing Q&A 2008, and General Police Duties. This product is not endorsed by CENTREX/NPIA.

General Police Duties: Q&A
A very useful addition to any police officer's libary. The book allows you to test your knowledge, prepare for your exams, or help probationers learn. However, be warned, this book is not a stand-alone textbook! Many of my colleagues and friends have purchased this book believing it to be a manual as well. The book is designed to complement Blackstone's Police Manual:General Police Duties and it does this very well. A very useful and worthwhile asset.

Vital for my revision
I scored this book a 4 of a possible 5. Simply because it is a reference book rather than a novel. After purchasing the General Duties book and reading through I simply did not know the depths and type and questions I would be asked. This is simply vital for any to be officer or any training officer. For a reference book 5of5. For a general book 4of5.
