Designed to mirror the "Blackstone's Police Manuals", this Q&A series combines the expertise of the Manuals' creators with that of experienced question writers. Following the same subject areas in the same sequence as the Manuals, and drawing upon the relevant text, each book in the series sets out an extensive range of professionally developed questions designed to test even the best prepared student or practitioner. The multiple choice questions are designed to reinforce your knowledge and understanding, to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in that knowledge and understanding and to help focus your revision of the relevant topics. This edition focuses on general police duties and covers key topics including: human rights; police powers; harrassment, hostility and anti-social behaviour; public order and terrorism; firearms and weapons; civil disputes; offences and powers relating to information; discrimination and equality. The book sits alongside the Blackstone's Police Manuals, which are fully endorsed by National Police Training and the Police Examinations Board, and are recommended texts for probationers and promotion examinations candidates.
