The official pocket book is a most important document which, when properly used, provides the greatest support
in court, and constitutes protection against false or mistaken attack upon the character of an officer or a member
of staff.

It is a basic principle of police procedure that police officers and appropriate police staff will keep notes of their
day to day duties to which they may later refer.

Every operational Police Officer, including Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), members of the
Special Constabulary, & Firearms Enquiry Officers shall carry an official PNB when on duty, and will ensure
that is maintained.
