Back Office Resources
This book will be split into chapters, one for each of the main pieces of Back Office documentation. The first guide to be moved here is the Guide to Arrestee & Legal Support [A&LS] Back Office for Back Office Volunteers [BOVs] and Police Station Support Coordinators [PSSC].
Many of our documents will be split into pages, representing the sections in the original documents.
Work in progress.
