Preparing for Police Duty informs student police officers and those interested in a career in the police, about the general culture of the policing world; the extended police family, dress-code, badges, shift patterns, equipment and basic information on police powers in relation to the most common crimes.Informative and inspirational quotes from different ranks of police officers are interspersed throughout to give advice and tips on joining and working for the police service. For example: Why did you join? What are your favourite parts of the job? There are also a number of box features including diagrams, checklists and good practice with examples from selected police forces.
