Police Promotion Exam Material

"[Blackstone's Poilce Manuals] are indispensible reading for all police officers and should be as much a part of the personal accoutrements, as the uniform and warrant card. To promotion candidates, good luck in your studies, but do not forget that you will still have to dip into Blackstone's whatever position you ultimately achieve within a fast growing police service"
Brian Rowland

"Do not attempt to prepare for the examination using old lawfiles left over from when you may have last taken a promotion exam, or earlier editions of the Blackstone manuals as a study source"
Brian Ashton, Police Review

"You need these Manuals for promotion studies, but why not keep an up-to-date copy anyway?"
The Police Journal

"The fact that they are primarily used for promotion study should not deter probationers looking for a wider knowledge of police procedure, or experienced police officers who are updating their skills"
Jon Mack, Internet Law Book Reviews
