Due to current stability issues with the legacy Blackstone’s Police Q&A and Investigators’ Q&A service, we recommend using our newly launched site during this time which includes all the same content as the older site, with additional functionality. See News for January, 2025 | Blackstone's Police for further information on the new service including how to make a new profile.

Also, from 1st April, access to the NPPF and NIE Q&A on the older platforms, including test and mock exam results, will no longer be available. You can already begin using the replacement platform, which includes all the same content as the older site, with additional functionality, if you choose or view our migration FAQ.

Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure you are using the correct version of the manual for the exam you are sitting.
