Overview

The fourth edition of Blackstone's Student Police Officer Handbook is a key text for student police officers undergoing their initial police training and provides all the underpinning subject matter and skills development materials required for the Initial Police Learning and Development Programme (IPLDP). It provides the knowledge and understanding necessary for a student officer to undertake independent patrol in a professional and competent manner, allowing students to cultivate appropriate transferable skills for further study and career development within policing and related occupational areas. Fully updated for the fourth edition, the Handbook incorporates recent changes to the National Occupational Standards and new content and updated legislation on stop and search powers under the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2000, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the reclassification of cannabis, and the amended PACE Code A. This book ensures that the student police officer can effectively demonstrate that they are meeting all the National Occupational Standards which must be attained for initial policing. Each of the five phases of initial training is covered in detail with clear descriptions of the legal, social and professional context of student officer development coupled with self-assessment tasks that test knowledge and understanding. The text allows students to relate academic study to their work in practice. Clearly laid out and very practical, each chapter contains many useful examples and learning aids including flowcharts, law summaries and checklists. At the end of each chapter, conclusion boxes give students the opportunity to consolidate links between the subject they have just learnt and the National Occupational Standards. The book also demonstrates the links between the Standards and the other professional qualifications required by student police officers, such as PIP level 1. To be published with the new companion volume Blackstone's Student Police Officer Workbook 2010 providing practical scenarios and exercises to complement the contents of the Handbook. This title is a must for all student police officers and their trainers, foundation police studies students, and trainee specials.
