Blackstone's Police Q&As 2024 are the essential revision tool for all police officers sitting the NPPF Step Two Legal Examination. Written to follow the 2024 syllabus as laid out in the Blackstone's Police Manuals, the only study guides endorsed by the College of Policing, Blackstone's Police Q&A's undoubtedly provide the most authoritative means of self-testing outside of the promotion examinations.

Arranged in three volumes: Crime, Evidence and Procedure, and General Police Duties, Blackstone's Police Q&As 2024 offer access to hundreds of multiple-choice questions designed to reinforce knowledge and understanding. Matching the only question format you will encounter in the NPPF Step Two Legal Examination, each question is followed by a detailed and comprehensive answer that highlights not only the correct response, but also carefully explains the reasoning for both correct and incorrect answers, helping you to better understand the law and how it should be applied in practice. This is essential for building your understanding of the syllabus and how it will be examined and also gives you an opportunity to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in your knowledge. Each Q&A includes a full cross-reference to the relevant paragraph(s) in the Manuals, while a question checklist helps you track your progress.

The 2024 editions contain new and revised questions, reflecting changes in the Blackstone's Police Manuals. All three volumes have been updated in line with recent changes to legislation.
