Blackstone's Police Manuals 2015, endorsed by the College of Policing, are the only official study guides for OSPRE® Part 1 Promotion Examinations. Straightforward and accessible, Blackstone's Police Manuals are the only resource used by question writers when preparing an OSPRE® Part 1 examination and each of the four volumes forms part of the only comprehensive version of the 2015 syllabus.

Blackstone's Police Manual Volume 4: General Police Duties 2015 covers areas including Terrorism and Associated Offences, Complaints and Misconduct, Weapons, and Public Disorder, as well as PACE Codes A, B, and G. For complex or commonly misunderstood areas, there are handy Keynote boxes, which point to relevant case law or provide an example of how material is used in a practical sense, helping you to establish the connections between legislation and police procedure. The 2015 edition
has been updated to incorporate all recent legislative developments and case law, including coverage of 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. Also included are revisions to PACE Codes A and B.
