Useful Policing & Promotion CPD Links

Here are a range of policing links I hope you find of use on your promotion journey. Most are relevant to your CPD towards Sergeant or Inspecting ranks, while others may just make your life a little easier in the police service. Any links to sites selling items are not an endorsement of companies or their products and I do not have a stake in them; they are just a pointer which might save you time. Please let me know if you notice any links out of date or not working!
