Police Officers Guide: A Handbook for Police Officer's of England, Scotland and Wales

Ok, quite simple.

Interesting book packed with materiel that's relevant.

this book is reasonably informative, and as an individual who is looking into police applications it has been an eye opener, however the spelling and grammar in this book is pretty bad. still it does contain a good deal of information.

its got everything in this book you must get it, it tell you everything

Very badly written collection of badly transposed law.. The scenarios are particularly terrible having "answers" that use assumptions not given in the main scenario setting. Terrible..

As a special of 22 years I so wish this had been around back then. It is good to read that a lot of forces are standardising their procedures.

I'm pretty sure some of the issues are because of the formatting for Kindle, but there are hundreds of places where sentences either run-on or stop mid-sentence and continue in a new paragraph. Titles and subtitles are often incorporated within the main body of paragraphs, which means you get the confusing task of figuring out whether a bit of text is another entry in an (unbulletted) bullet list, or the beginning of a new section; sometimes it's not clear until several paragraphs later which of the two it was.For example, the definition of law is given as "- Binding or enforceable rule: a rule of conduct or procedure recognised by a community as binding or enforceable by authority - piece of legislation: an Act passed by a Parliament or other body - legal system: the body or system or rules recognised by a community that are enforceable by established process" which is pretty hard to read (especially if you're using Kindle on an iPhone or other small factor device).In several places there are references to things "discussed above" which are in fact discussed a few pages later (which makes you wonder if you've missed a bit, skip back, give up in confusion and then find it when you continue) and there's a goodly sprinkling of typos and confusions between their/there, where/wear and so on; more annoying than hard to read, but certainly adds up to a book which could do with an editor spending some time on it.On the plus side, the content itself is well thought out, fairly good in terms of both depth and breadth of coverage, and is written with a fairly neutral, non-opinionated style which makes a change from several of the slightly more biased sources I've seen on the internet.Overall, 3 out of 5: the content is good and worth of a 4 or 5, but the combination of layout issues, flow that doesn't match the narrative in places and general lack of editing adds up to a big enough downside that it loses marks. With an editor's attention it could easily be a 5.
