'The book leads the student through each topic, covering theory, discussion, and practice while developing skills of reflection, analysis, problem solving, and forms of reasoning through the use of realistic examples. Each chapter contains frequent reference to the National Occupational Standards so that students can consolidate links between the subject area and the relevant NOS unit or element. The book also makes reference to the IPLDP syllabus and covers key learning material such as the SOLAP, PAC, Learning Diary, and PIP, and explains how each of these may be used for formal assessment during training.' 'A must-have for all student police officers and their trainers - this book ensures student police officers have the knowledge and understanding necessary to undertake independent patrol in a professional and competent manner. This book will also appeal to PCSOs and students undertaking degrees in Policing.'--BOOK JACKET.
