The UK Police 2001-2002: A Pocket Guide

Usefull book with a full review of current Laws and regulations.
Equally good for non-force personel, and has a good description of the multiple laws and regulations in the U.K.
Explains the laws in a clear fashion, and is an interesting read.
Details all laws however, including the S.O. Act, so bits are explicit in their detail.

Handy little pocket guide - ideal for when you're out and about. OK, so the previous guy has spotted a few little errors, but there's still plenty in here that you would have to spend many an hour on the web trying to find. Would like to see a bit more on current police vehicles, perhaps away from the author's home territory of Cheshire.

Short on detail. Small print. Lots of defects (for example, the index for Chapter 5 mentions the Jersey Police, the Guernsey Police, and the Isle of Man Constabulary, but the actual chapter misses them out), so sloppy. Not worth the money or time. Get the HMI Report.
