The term statute book is a generic term. All legal references I need are on what is known as the National Police Legal Database where all stautes and case law are on there.

As for joining the police, you will not be expected to learn Acts and sections during the process of trying to join. Visit your local station if you want more info.

I was planning on visiting my local station anyway, also going to go have a chat with a retired policeman who lives over the road, who coincidentally was at the force I'm thinking of applying to.
