Product Description

A household name in policing, Blackstone's Police Manuals are now firmly established as the leading text on police law and have become an essential part of the police officer's toolkit.

Written very much from a policing perspective, the Manuals unravel the complexities and strip away the vanities of criminal law and prosecution, focusing on the key principles and practical considerations for all who are tasked with exercising, enforcing or simply explaining the machinery of criminal justice.

The Manuals are endorsed by the Central Police Training & Development Authority as the official reference work for all the police promotion examinations and the training of probationer constables. They contain the definitive syllabus for police officers hoping to take Part I of their promotion examinations in the coming twelve months; and also contain detailed law and procedure relevant to probationers, tutors, special constables and their respective trainers.

For preparation for promotion examinations being taken in March or September 2003

good for reference
This book is a good up to date reference guide for general police duties. The text perfectly displays legislation and includes points to consider. Also incorporated is reference to the Human Rights Act 1998, a very touched upon subject nowadays.
