For the NIE, Sergeants and Inspectors

Revision for the NIE and the Sergeants' and Inspectors' exams

Most candidates prepare the same way: read the manual, highlight it, read it again. This is the other half — one account with a separate space for each exam, so short daily sessions test you across the whole syllabus and show you honestly where you stand.

What this is, and what it isn't

It's an account, not a book

It opens in your phone's browser and installs to the home screen. Nothing arrives in the post, and there's nothing to set up beyond signing in.

It tests you rather than teaches you

The manuals explain the law. This asks you about it, over and over, in each exam's own format, until you can produce the answer under pressure.

You keep using the prescribed manuals

Each exam is marked against its own current manual, and nothing here reproduces it. This is what you do with what you've read, not a replacement for reading it.

What's inside

One account, three complete revision spaces

The exam you're sitting opens first. The other two are already included, ready when you need them.

How it teaches

Built the way memory actually works

Learning research is blunt about the read-and-reread method: testing yourself beats rereading, and spacing those tests out beats cramming. The whole account is built on that, for all three exams.

1

Retrieval, not rereading

Every card makes you pull the answer from memory before it's shown. Rereading feels like progress; retrieval is what actually builds recall.

2

Weak material returns until it sticks

A fact isn't done when you get it right once. Using calendar-based spaced review, it returns in later sessions until you've recalled it correctly three separate times.

3

It knows the difference between sure and lucky

Before each answer is revealed you tap Sure, Unsure or Guessing. Right-but-unsure isn't treated as known — the most dangerous gaps are the ones you think you've covered.

Three more ways it teaches
4

Practice in each exam's own format

Scenario questions written for the paper you're actually sitting, so you practise applying the law, not just recognising it. Every one of the 2,594 questions explains the correct answer and each wrong option, so a miss becomes revision. And 286 written scenarios across the three complete exams ask you for the outcome and the decisive reason, with no options to lean on.

5

A separate readiness estimate for each exam

One number per exam, tracking your practice answers against that paper's published pass mark. It's our best estimate of where you stand — not a guarantee of your result. Set your sitting date and the syllabus becomes a daily pace; when time is short, the higher-mark areas come first.

6

Sessions that fit shift work

One tap starts a session capped at 15 items, while the complete waiting count stays visible. Miss a few days and it simply carries on where you left off.

FAQ

Before you buy

Does one payment include all three exams?

Yes. The £15 monthly subscription includes the NIE, NPPF Sergeants and NPPF Inspectors revision spaces in one account, each with its own progress record.

Do I still need the prescribed manuals?

Yes. NIE candidates need the current edition of Blackstone's Police Investigators' Manual. Sergeants and Inspectors candidates need the current editions of Blackstone's Police Manuals volumes 1–3: Crime, Evidence and Procedure, and General Police Duties. Police Law Prep supports that study. It does not replace the manuals.

Is this an official police product?

No. Police Law Prep is an independent study tool published by A Large Company Ltd. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the College of Policing, any police force, or any publisher.

Where does the content come from?

Every card and question is written from primary public sources — legislation.gov.uk, the PACE Codes of Practice, CPS charging guidance and Sentencing Council guidelines — and corrected when the law changes.

How do I cancel?

Use Manage subscription in the app or email us (address in the footer). Your access then runs to the end of the month you've paid for, then stops — you're never charged again after that.
