Police Powers & Offences UK

An offline aide-mémoire for England & Wales: police powers, 150 offences, PACE & the Codes, road traffic, caution texts, interactive tools and 900+ practice questions.

Police Powers & Offences UK is a fast, fully offline reference for police officers, student officers, special constables, PCSOs and law students in England & Wales.

Everything is drawn from open sources — primary legislation on legislation.gov.uk and gov.uk / PACE Codes under the Open Government Licence, plus our own plain-English summaries of CPS charging guidance. It works with no signal, no account, no ads and no tracking.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Powers — stop & search (with and without suspicion), arrest and the necessity test, entry, search and seizure, the detention clock, use of force, disposals and bail/RUI, and operational powers. • Offences — a catalogue of 150 offences across sixteen categories with elements, points to prove, mode of trial, maximum penalty and direct links to the legislation and CPS guidance. • Road Traffic — documents, standard of driving, drink and drug driving (with the procedure), construction & use, speed, and powers and disposals. • PACE & Reference — PACE 1984 and Codes A–H, the verbatim caution, special warnings and rights, a legal glossary, mnemonics, the phonetic alphabet, specialist topics and case-law flashcards. • Tools — a detention-clock calculator, penalty-points / totting-up calculator, drink/drug-drive limits, stop-and-search and entry-power selectors, an arrest-necessity checklist, step-by-step drink-drive and National Decision Model walkthroughs, flashcards, tickable operational checklists, and neutral statement / notebook constructors that you fill in with your own facts. • Practice — 900+ of our own multiple-choice questions, by category or as a timed mock test, each with an explanation and a source reference.
