The Digest aims to capture and consolidate topical and key issues, both current and future, that affect all areas of policing.

It is an invaluable resource for those responsible for strategic decision-making, operational planning and police training. The legal sections are often particularly informative for trainers, students and operational officers.

Every edition contains a summary of issues relating to police law, operational policing practice and criminal justice, including:

• new legislation, statutory instruments and case law
• recently published government reports and initiatives
• the latest statistical bulletins.
