Product Description
Product Description
Blackstone's Police Manuals are the leading police reference texts in the UK. In addition to being the only offical study guides for the police promotion examinations in England and Wales, and a recognised text for student police officers, the manuals have quickly established themselves as the definitive reference sources for all who have involvement with police law and procedure. The manuals have been written in consultation with police forces across England and Wales, and are endorsed by the National Policing Improvement Agency, for OSPRE Part 1 Promotion Examinations. Blackstone's Police Manual Volume 4: General Police Duties 2009 covers all aspects of police duties from a police officer's perspective. It has been fully updated for 2009 to incorporate all recent legislative developments, including updates to the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004, amendments to the Police and Justice Act 2006, and coverage of the provisions of the Equality Act 2006. This edition also outlines the new policing priorities as set out by the National Policing Plan, new Regulations on Police Discipline, and information on the powers available to PCSOs. The Manuals continue to be the most accessible, relevant, and focussed revision materials for Promotion Examinations. They are widely used in the professional development of police officers in a variety of roles making them essential reading for anyone with an interest in police and criminal law. Whether you are a serving police officer or police trainer, a practitioner, advisor, or researcher, Blackstone's Police Manuals 2009 are an essential purchase. The other three titles in the series are: Volume 1: Crime 2009, Volume 2: Evidence and Procedure 2009, Volume 3: Road Policing 2009.

As always THE go to reference source for policing and criminal law. Essential read's if you are studying for ospre part 1. For student officers I would suggest the Blackstone's Student Officer handbook. These books are very thorough and my only criticism of them is at times they can be very hard going to read. However, studying these in combination with the online Q&A's, be it Blackstone's or ical you can't go far wrong for the exam.
Personally I feel they could be improved upon with a bigger summary section which includes more case law to round off a particular topic. Something like the main chapter for the full read and the conclusion as a revision crammer. Though crammers can be bought and are generally very good, considering the price/size of the books I feel they could integrate one more. This review although tagged under the 2006 edition is applicable to all so far as I have had the 2006 and 2009 editions. The only real change being updated legislation.
