Review from previous edition I am amazed at the amount of detail and links to case law that the author(s) have contributed. <br> --Stuart K Fairclough, Metropolitan Police Trainer<br> For my own promotion exams, the manuals proved to be an excellent resource. They are logical, authoritative and easy to understand. They are most 'thumbed' books in our station. <br> --Sergeant Kevin Whitehouse, West Midlands Police<br> The manuals are an excellent training and reference work. They are pitched at a level which is appropriate for all, from the new student officer to those studying for promotion to higher rank. I would recommend them to every officer wishing to improve or maintain their knowledge of law, police duties and procedures. <br> --Paul Murphy, Greater Manchester Police<br>
