The Blackstone's Police Investigators' Workbook 2014 is the official accompanying study text for the National Investigator's Exam (NIE) which is taken as part of Phase 1 of the Initial Crime Investigators' Development Programme. Based on the content of the Investigator's Manual, the book has been completely revised for the 2014 syllabus.

The Workbook takes the trainee investigator through each of the topics relevant to the examination, namely in the areas of Evidence; Property Offences; Assaults, Drugs, Firearms & Gun Crime; and Sexual Offences. The book also contains useful cross references to the Manual in the answers sections, so students can check their understanding of the content.
