Practical policing skills for student officers (2nd ed)

The new Initial Police Learning and Development Programme (IPLDP) is structured around National Occupational Standards, against which new officers will be trained and assessed.

This book, written by police officers, introduces student officers to the key competency areas and elementary skills required.

It introduces the key policing skills and guides the reader through typical scenarios, addressing issues in the context of modern policing, and of the relevant professional competencies and occupational standards.

This new edition has been expanded to include chapters on the core policing skills and has been updated in light of the revised National Occupational Standards.
