Synopsis

Blackstone's Police Manuals, endorsed by the College of Policing, are the only official study guides for OSPRERG Part 1 Promotion Examinations.

Straightforward and accessible, Blackstone's Police Manuals offer you the only comprehensive version of the 2015 syllabus and they are the only resource used by question writers when preparing an OSPRERG Part 1 examination. The four volumes of Crime, Evidence and Procedure, Road Policing, and General Police Duties cover all aspects of criminal law and procedure, with key parts of legislation reproduced for your reference and with each chapter professionally checked and reviewed by the College of Policing. Complex or commonly misunderstood areas feature handy Keynote boxes, which point to relevant case law or provide an example of how material is used in a practical sense, helping you to establish the connections between legislation and police procedure. The 2015 edition has been updated to incorporate all recent legislative developments and case law, including coverage of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, the Criminal Procedure Rules 2013, the Crime and Courts Act 2013, the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, the Road Safety Act 2006, as well as revisions to PACE Codes A, B, C, E, F, and H.

Blackstone's Police Manuals are also available as part of our online Blackstone's Police Manuals and Q&As service: http://www.blackstonespolice.com
