Reviews
This book I feel, will be of particular use to constables both during their initial recruit training stage but also throughout their continuation training and probationary period of service. Excellent reference resource for officers to consult prior to initial appearances at any one of the courts... Stuart K. Fairclough, Police Trainer, the Metropolitan Police Level 1 BSC for undergraduates (1rst year) Introductory to the subject - Simple guide easy to read. A little 'Police officer' focuses rather than support functions. Very useful. Roy Murphy
