Review
The preface to the road policing manual emphasises how important road policing is in challenging dangerous, aggressive and antisocial driving as well as being of great assistance in the wider role in disrupting the activities of serious and organised criminals and terrorists. It is important that Officers get it right. These books will help them do just that. (Carrie Laws, Bay Advocates Torquay, Devon, Internet Law Book Reviews. March 2006 )
Product Description
Blackstone's Police Manuals are the leading police reference texts in the UK. In addition to being the only official study guides for the police promotion examinations in England and Wales, and a recognised text for police probationers, the Manuals have quickly established themselves as the definitive reference source for all who are involved in police law and procedure. Endorsed by the CENTREX for OSPRE® Part 1 Promotion Examinations, the Manuals have been written in consultation with police forces across England and Wales. Blackstone's Police Manual Volume 3: Road s Poliicing covers all aspects of roads policing law and procedure from a police officer's perspective. The 2006 edition has been extensively revised to incorporate all recent legislative developments and a number of case decisions and changes in policy including the Traffic Management Act 2004, the ACPO/Dft Roads Policing Agreement, and the Road Safety Bill. Topical areas examined in detail also include seatbelts and safety measures, drink, drugs and driving, traffic officers and their powers, standards of driving and speeding, disqualified drivers and driver licencing, use of vehicles, insurance and test certificates. Key topics have been cross-referenced with the new ACPO Roads Policing Strategy and the relevant legislation is contextualised against that highly practical background. The Manuals 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 2005 are an essential purchase. The other three titles in this series are: Volume 1: Crime 2006, Volume 2: Evidence & Procedure 2006, and Volume 4: General Police Duties 2006.

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.
