Summary: 'Extra bits' included!
Comment: Wait until the next print of this book; there is a late addition, printed on loose leaf, inserted within the pages. A brief note informs you deception has been replaced by the Fraud Act 2006....Wonder how long it will take me to lose that operationally!
In my opinion, this one 'cheap-skate' act sullies the book to such an extent that I will not write about any of the good points.
Feel free to replace my copy New Police Bookshop.

Summary: More than just PNLDB in paper back
Comment: I thought that this was just going to be a replication of all the information you can get from the Police National Legal Database but is more than that. The offence wording and breakdown can be found on PNLDB or any other legal source but there is guidance on how you might ask questions in interview to get the points proved. There is a comprehensive, though not exhaustive, list of offences that PC Bloggs may ocme across in his/her daily duties and it covers the latest SOCAP and PACE rules and ammendments along with guidence on these new police powers. Best of all though this is a pocket sized reference you can have with you at all times and is also a great aid to statement taken too. I recommend buying this with "Statment Taken" too, but make sure you get the Sixth edition of each.

Summary: Points to prove.
Comment: I bought the latest edition ( the green one) from the shop when I was at Ashford and I use it all the time to prepare for taped interviews back in force. It helps me to structure the questions I want to ask, it is clearly understandable and an invaluable aide-memoire. I really can't recommend this little book highly enough!

Summary: Very Useful- a great help
Comment: I bought this book as I wanted something more indepth than the Beat Officer's Companion but still small enough to carry with me on duty. This book satisfies both of these points. Not only is it pocket sized just like the Beat Officer's Companion but also helps you understand the points to prove for the laws that will be most used by police on the streets. This book will take a bit of pressure off of new probationers or people trying to join the police force. Very helpful book. I hope Taking Statements is just as good.

Summary: Very useful book
Comment: This book is a must for anybody in the legal profession. A comprehensive book detailing all traffic and criminal offences. It details all points to prove on each particular offence, and a guide to investigating it. A very helpful and informative book.
