A must have! - By: Tanya Gravenor, 27 Mar 2008
This is my first review on amazon, but I feel that potential purchasers should know what this book is like before buying it. The book was a great purchase & worth every penny, it was recommended to me before I started my initial training for Sussex Police, & I am so glad I brought it.
It explainsin terms that are easy to understand what is expected of you when appling for the post of constable, through your training & what the job will actually be like. There is a chapter containing real life experiences from officers at all ranks which gives an honest view from people that you may actually work with. For me this was a great help as I do not come from a police background & only had my imagination & medias representation of the police service.
When you start your training as a student officer you will also have basic knowledge of areas that are coveredin the book, for example the history of policing.
The book is clear, consise & an easy read, do buy it if you are thinking of applying as it also gives you advice of what to expect during the application process, which helped a lot, as at first I found it all quite daunting.
