Description
Designed to mirror the best-selling "Blackstone's Police Manuals", this series is written by experienced and highly successful question writers. Each Q and 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 and As" are essential revision material for all police officers sitting the OSPRE[registered] Part 1 promotion examinations. The 2006 editions of this popular series contain substantial updates, reflecting changes to the 2006 versions of the "Blackstone's Police Manuals", and also now 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 of the law such as: the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005, the Hunting Act 2004, the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, the Licensing Act 2003, the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005, the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004, the Gender Recognition Act 2004, the Civil Partnerships Act 2004 and the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Other topical areas of significance include: updates to the National Policing Plan and further provisions of the Police Reform Act 2002, Community Support Officers and accredited employees, the recording of stop and search powers, further provisions of the extended fixed penalty system, and racially aggravated offences, equality and diversity. Other titles in the series are: "Crime Q and A 2006", "Evidence and Procedure Q and A 2006" and "Roads Policing Q and A 2006".
