Built for the street, the station and the exam room. Short, clear answers first, with the full detail one tap away.
The wording, the points you need to prove, how it's tried and the maximum sentence, laid out so you can check them at a glance.
Stop and search, arrest, entry and seizure. What the power is, when you can use it and what you have to tell the person.
The traffic offences and powers you deal with on every shift, without digging through the Act.
Type a word, a section or a slang term and get the right offence or power straight away.
When legislation changes, Ask Big Sarge is built to pick it up and update, so you are never working from old notes.
Designed to work in a basement custody suite or a rural black spot, not just on station Wi-Fi.

The offence or power, the points to prove and the detail that matters, in plain English.
