organisaonal and social change.” – Neil Walker, Regius Professor of Public Law 

and the Law of Nature and Naons, The University of Edinburgh, UK  “In this very mely and important book, Daniel Donnelly brings his own uniqueblend of professional policing experience and academic insight to cra a

fascinang account of the diversity of tasks, responsibilies and relaonships

The structure of policing is undergoing change in Scotland at present and the

prole of the police ocer diers from that of the past. This book takes an

informave approach and oers a unique account and insight into the Scosh

police organisaon, describing the ‘Scosh police ocer’ from the point of 

recruitment through to training, development and specialist policing.

Wrien by an ex-senior police ocer, this book examines how the qualied police ocer goes about his/her daily work policing and

how this has changed over me as a result of organised crime, terrorism and the changing priories of the public and policians. The

contribuon of non-police ocers such as police civilian sta, auxiliaries and the private sector, plays a key role in the policing of 

Scotland in the 21st century and is considered at length. As police supervision and management is crucial to the organisaon’s

success, the subjects of personnel development, promoon and management in the police is examined with comment on the

suitability of the system in the 21st century.

The book concludes with commentary on the future prole of the Scosh police ocer and makes some general comparison with

their colleagues in the rest of the UK and European Union. This will be an essenal text for police ocers in Scotland and elsewhere

and students and academics in the areas of law, polics, management, police studies, criminology and criminal jusce.
