General Police Duties by Fraser Sampson
"Blackstone's Police Manuals" are the leading police reference texts in the UK. In addition to being the only official study guides for the police promotion examinations in England and Wales, and a recognised text for police probationers, the Manuals have quickly established themselves as the definitive reference source for all who are involved in police law and procedure.

Topical areas examined in detail also include: updates to the National Policing Plan and further provisions of the Police Reform Act 2002, Community Support Officers and accredited employees, the recording of stop and search powers, further provisions of the extended fixed penalty system, and racially aggravated offences, equality and diversity. The Manuals are widely used in the professional development of police officers in a variety of roles, making them essential reading for anyone with an interest in police and criminal law.
