Blackstone’s Counter-Terrorism Handbook
by Lianeh on May.08, 2009, under Patrol Store
With today’s rising threat of terrorism, Blackstone’s Counter-Terrorism Handbook is a very helpful and handy pocket sized guide that is perfect for carrying out on duty or ops.
The book’s primary markets are all patrol officers and PCSOs, counter terrorism officers, special branch investigators, counter-terrorism security advisers and intelligence officers.
Divided into two parts this offers readers both a helpful and informative history and context to policing counter-terrorism as well as all the relevant legislation, drawn from and linked to the government-sponsored PNLD.
Part one of the handbook provides readers with an operational framework and context to counter-terrorism. It summarises the different types of terrorist organisations, featuring a comprehensive list of Proscribed Organisations with a page devoted to the key facts for each. The first part also outlines the police counter-terrorism structure, the Government’s CONTEST strategy, and the roles and functions of key organisations. All supplemented with case studies, practical scenarios and checklists to illustrate the practical application of the legislation.
Part two is completely devoted to counter-terrorism legislation itself, focussing primarily on police powers and procedures.
Explanatory notes accompany these provisions, related case law and points to prove, ensuring that the information is easily comprehensible and digestible.
It will also be of interest to key organisations including the Serious Organised Crime Agency, the NPIA, force libraries, the Home Office, local authorities, the security services, academic institutions, intelligence, policing and investigation.
