Description
This new book provides a highly readable, practical overview of the
structure, concepts and workings the police force in England &
Wales. It offers a comprehensive foundation to the basic concepts that
new recruits will encounter during their initial training periods and in
the workplace, as well as highlighting some key issues and theories that
will be built upon in later training. It will be a significant tool in
helping them prepare for forthcoming training - allowing each recruit to
start assuming some responsibility for his/her own professional
development from an early stage.
Written in a concise and approachable style, the book will also be a
useful guide to anyone considering a career in the police force or
interview candidates wishing to prepare themselves for interview
Synopsis
This handbook is primarily aimed at all those police recruits who have
secured a "job offer" from one of the 43 police forces in
England and Wales and who wish to make optimum use of the time between
job application/job offer and enrolling at a police training centre
(typically 6 weeks). Written in a concise and approachable style, this
book offers a comprehensive foundation to the basic concepts that new
recruits will encounter during their initial training periods and in the
workplace, as well as highlighting some key issues and theories that
will be built upon in later training. During the weeks prior to a
training centre, recruits can begin building the foundations for the
steep learning gradient they will encounter once they enter their
full-time training programme. This text should prove a significant tool
in helping them prepare for forthcoming training - allowing each recruit
to start assuming some responsibility for his/her own professional
development from an early stage. |
