Reviews
[Blackstone's Police Manuals] are indispensable reading for all police officers and should be as much a part of the personal accoutrements, as the uniform and warrant card. To promotion candidates, good luck in your studies, but do not forget that you will still have to dip into Blackstone's whatever position you ultimately achieve within a fast growing police service. Brian Rowland, January 2006
