Synopsis

Blackstone's Police Q&As 2015 are the essential revision tool for all police officers sitting the OSPRE(R) Part 1 promotion examinations. Written in partnership with the best-selling Blackstone's Police Manuals, the only study guides endorsed by the College of Policing, the Q&As' experienced author team follow subjects in the same sequence as the Manuals, providing the most authoritative means of self-testing outside of the promotion examinations. Blackstone's Police Q&A: General Police Duties 2015 contains hundreds of multiple-choice questions designed to reinforce knowledge and understanding of the General Police Duties Manual. Matching the only format of questions you will see in an OSPRE(R) Part 1 examination, each question has a detailed and comprehensive answer that highlights not only the correct response, but also the reasoning behind the incorrect responses, allowing candidates to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in their knowledge. Full cross-references to the relevant Manual paragraphs and Keynotes encourage more effective studying, while a question checklist helps you track your progress. The 2015 editions of this popular series contain important updates, reflecting changes to the 2015 versions of the Blackstone's Police Manuals. This new edition on General Police Duties includes new questions on the Terrorism Act 2000, the Crime and Courts Act 2013, the Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation) (Amendment) Order 2013, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, and the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013, as well as revisions to PACE Codes A and B. Other titles in the series are: Crime Q&A 2015, Evidence and Procedure Q&A 2015, and Road Policing Q&A 2015. Blackstone's Police Q&As are also available as part of our online Blackstone's Police Manuals and Q&As service: http://www.blackstonespolice.com This product is not endorsed by the College of Policing.
