00:00HUMMING
00:04This is a Grade 1 in Brighton for an outpouring.
00:07Emptying a van in the middle of the road.
00:09Doing what in the middle of the road?
00:11Emptying the van full of junk.
00:13Emptying the van full of junk.
00:16HUMMING
00:19Hello.
00:21Hi, guys, you all right? What's going on?
00:23Moving? At 3am in the morning?
00:27So my new landlord has fallen asleep,
00:30so I can't get access to my new flat.
00:32I think you're disturbing everybody.
00:34That's why they've called us.
00:36Yeah, but I'm a night-time worker. I work in a bar.
00:39I'm a night-time worker. Yeah.
00:41So, er...
00:42I wouldn't move house at 21st three in the morning, though, in fairness.
00:45Yeah, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do.
00:47Yeah, you might have to try and do it a little bit quieter,
00:50maybe without the music playing and the engine running.
00:53Maybe just kind of tippy-toe around.
00:56This is all my belongings in the whole room.
00:59Yeah, OK. I'm a hoarder.
01:01Oh, I love a hoarder.
01:07I am a night-time worker.
01:09So am I.
01:11It's a shame he doesn't hoard a T-shirt.
01:13I love a poncho.
01:17I love this job.
01:19EXPLOSION
01:25The suit, the suit, the suit.
01:27Get off of my flat!
01:39Get down on the floor now!
01:46SIREN BLARES
01:49Ready?
01:50One, two, three, four.
01:53Fly me to the moon
01:56Let me play among the stars
02:00Let me see what spring is like
02:03On Jupiter and Mars
02:06That's beautiful.
02:07In other words...
02:09More.
02:10..Hold my hand
02:12In other words
02:14Baby, kiss me
02:18That's it for now.
02:19That was brilliant.
02:20Oh, we're... Oh!
02:21Oh, God.
02:24I'm going to tear up.
02:25That was horrendous.
02:27Go on, Joe. Front and centre.
02:30Why not you?
02:31Joe, we've been through this.
02:32Oh, true. Face for radio.
02:33Far more, far more.
02:34Face for radio.
02:43Yeah, he's a qualified opera singer.
02:45Professionally trained.
02:47Do you whip it out on a first date?
02:49I'm sorry?
02:50Start singing.
02:51Oh, I see.
02:52I mean, I don't have the best luck anyway.
02:54If I started singing at my dates,
02:55I think I'd probably be screwed forever.
02:58I like being busy.
02:59That's part of the reason I like a night shift,
03:01where everyone loads up into the van you drive around.
03:04You're actively looking for problems before they happen.
03:07Mate, if we do that,
03:08I'm going to stink at beer for the rest of the evening,
03:10so no thank you.
03:11It does kind of open your eyes to the other side of Brighton,
03:14the side that comes out in the dark.
03:17Parties get out of hand.
03:19You can have too much fun.
03:20At a certain point,
03:21something my parents always used to say,
03:24is that it'll all end in tears.
03:26And that's when we have to turn up.
03:30There's no need for that.
03:31There's no problem out here.
03:33Do you get me?
03:34Chill out, all right?
03:35No!
03:36What is the problem?
03:38What is the problem?
03:39One of our friends got mixed up with the IDs.
03:41OK.
03:42We've confiscated an ID.
03:44They used someone else's ID to get in the venue.
03:46They want their ID back.
03:48They're not giving up, and they're all very aggressive.
03:53There was a mix-up with the IDs,
03:54and they didn't give it back to them.
03:56I tell you what, if they've taken one of your IDs,
03:58you can come back tomorrow,
03:59and you can talk to them and get that sorted then, yeah?
04:02Oh, my days!
04:03Oh, my days!
04:05It's for the ID, man.
04:06You'll have to come back tomorrow.
04:07It's not going to get sorted tonight.
04:10If you guys can just kind of move on,
04:12then I think we're sorted.
04:13No!
04:14OK.
04:15I'm not asking no to anyone, yeah?
04:18I'm not talking to you, OK?
04:22Right, so I'm going to issue you with a section 35.
04:24What that means is that you need to leave the area.
04:26If you don't, then you're going to be arrested, OK?
04:30What's that?
04:31Well, it was your behaviour at the club over there.
04:33No, no, no. I'm not doing anything wrong.
04:35You've displayed antisocial behaviour.
04:37No, no, no.
04:39It's not up for debate.
04:41What hotel have you got?
04:47OK, if you go straight to the hotel, that's OK.
04:52Right, so back up a little bit for me.
04:56No, we're not arresting you.
04:57We're telling you that if you don't...
04:59I'm looking at you right now.
05:02The angry drunks are interesting
05:04because they just see a uniform
05:07and attack it in any way that they can.
05:15It's like bullies in school.
05:16They're doing it for the reaction.
05:33And if you just don't give a reaction,
05:35then eventually they give up.
05:37But you can't be out any more tonight.
05:39All right? Do you understand what that means?
05:41Here we go. Right.
05:43You need to leave now.
05:45That's going to be so much more effective
05:47than just shouting at someone to calm down.
05:49He's leaving now.
05:57How do you think we work together?
05:58Do you think we're a good crew? I don't know.
06:00You're one of my favourite crewings
06:02because I don't have to question if you don't have my back.
06:04You share the workload,
06:06but also, like, if I have a shit shift normally,
06:09if I'm with you, then we make a joke out of it.
06:12No.
06:13I can't work with anyone all the time.
06:15I'd lose the f***ing world.
06:17There's some things that you do... Yes.
06:19..that get on my nerves.
06:21Go on, then. Give me three of them.
06:22Uh, where you want to drive all the time.
06:24I was asked if we're going to shift, do you want to drive?
06:26No, you start driving, and then...
06:28OK, whatever.
06:29That's fair.
06:30That's why I don't work with people all the time,
06:32because it happens.
06:35SIREN WAILS
06:36It's one of those roads that we can't go down, so...
06:41I can see you, guys.
06:43Anyone seen what's happened? Who's been assaulted?
06:46Yeah.
06:47Yeah.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Yeah.
06:51Yeah.
06:52Yeah.
06:53Yeah.
06:54Yeah.
06:55Yeah.
06:56Yeah.
06:57Yeah.
06:58Yeah.
06:59Yeah.
07:00Yeah.
07:01Yeah.
07:03He punched you in the face?
07:04Yes.
07:05All right, guys, we'll get him cuffed quickly.
07:08Where's your right hand?
07:09So, at the moment, so we can figure out what's happened,
07:11you're under arrest for suspicion of actual bodily harm, all right?
07:15Right.
07:16Look at me, let me see your face a bit.
07:19OK.
07:22When you first get there,
07:23you just want to make sure that everyone's OK,
07:26you're not just sort of the victim.
07:28Let's just take some breaths, OK?
07:30We're just trying to work out what's happened, all right?
07:35My mum has always been really pro-police,
07:38always taught me to respect the police growing up.
07:41But I didn't really think it was a job that anyone could do,
07:44if that makes sense.
07:46I thought it was something only a few people did,
07:49but I wasn't enjoying my office job.
07:51We're a bit tight. This one. There you go.
07:53Being a police community support officer for two years
07:56really helped me, because I didn't have my handcuffs,
08:00my bat and my pole ride.
08:02It was really just, you have to talk yourself out of situations.
08:05Is this your cap as well? Is this yours?
08:07Yeah, it is. Yeah? All right, I'm just going to...
08:10There you go.
08:18So, whether it's hurting or not, it doesn't matter.
08:20He has still assaulted you.
08:27Because you're now under arrest,
08:29I don't want to talk too much about what's happened,
08:31because that wouldn't be fair on you, OK?
08:33So there's been an allegation of an assault.
08:47Everyone has different styles of policing.
08:49Mine probably comes off a bit softer,
08:51where I do want to talk to people and engage.
08:54What does it hurt, just taking the time to sit there
08:56and just talk to someone?
08:58This is... Absolutely fine.
09:01But if I can't calm someone down,
09:03I'm happy to be a bit more forceful if I need to.
09:07He actually seems like quite a nice guy. He's got two piss, hasn't he?
09:10Yeah, he's fine. It's a good boy. Have good news.
09:12We're going to deal with it slow time,
09:14which means you're not going to go in a cell for the night.
09:16We've got your phone number, we've got your address.
09:18We will be in contact with you, so that we can interview you about it.
09:21But it basically just means, cos you're not known to us,
09:23there's no point putting you in a cell.
09:25Yeah? OK, cool.
09:31Nice victim, nice suspect. Well, strange.
09:33Mm.
09:44Social Service, emergency.
09:45Could you call the police, please?
09:49Please.
09:53Hello?
09:56Hello?
10:00Cooler, what's going on?
10:02It's Charlie Romeo, 117.
10:04Are you able to turn out for grade one?
10:06Large disturbance coming from student centre.
10:13I can't really see what's going on,
10:15but there's a group gathering of five.
10:21I can hear a male and another male shouting and arguing,
10:24swearing at each other.
10:25Appears to be shouting about the students
10:27that have come onto his property.
10:31Good!
10:35What's happened?
10:36I have had constant noise problems in the last two years.
10:40I've been assaulted three times.
10:42What's happened tonight, though?
10:44There was a massive amount of noise.
10:46I came out and said,
10:47just be quiet and go away next door.
10:49Have you been assaulted or anything tonight at all?
10:51Has anything physical happened?
10:53There's been a fight out here where 12 guys
10:55have had a fucking punch-up at me.
10:56If these 12 kids have assaulted you,
10:58you want to try and figure out which ones of them it was?
11:00That's him, in the middle, with the black shirt.
11:02OK. That's him.
11:03OK, but there was 12 of them, was there?
11:05Well, there's all of them.
11:06All of the lot that you can see there.
11:08If you just stay here, I'll be back in a minute to talk to you.
11:11OK, thank you.
11:12What's happened?
11:13Two boys have been sat on the wall.
11:15He's saying 12, right?
11:17They've been making noise.
11:19Neighbours come over, swung a punch at him,
11:21but he's, like, evaded.
11:23And then he says that he's then pushed him back.
11:26Right. So I thought that might be the case.
11:29Yeah. I completely understand why he's frustrated,
11:31but we can't start swinging punches at students, can we?
11:33No. But there's CCTV,
11:35so I'm wondering if I can just quickly review it.
11:40I think you learn very quickly as a police officer
11:42that you can't trust what people say.
11:46That's him there.
11:48I was always brought up to not lie to people,
11:50and I find it quite difficult thinking that someone
11:53can lie to a police officer.
11:55But it happens all the time.
11:57Oh, here we go. Look. Here we go.
12:01That's him.
12:03That's the one.
12:04The one that he's then hit him?
12:06Yeah. Sure.
12:07Oh!
12:08Oh, he did...
12:10Right, well, he's gone for him.
12:13Yeah, well, he might have been saying something,
12:15but he's the first one to throw punches.
12:17Well, it's not one, though, and he's still going for him.
12:19That was a hard punch, though.
12:21It's not as he described it to me.
12:24I'm going to have a chat with him.
12:26Hello.
12:28So, we've just viewed the CCTV footage of what's happened,
12:32and it's not quite as you said, is it?
12:34So what I've just seen on the CCTV, because that doesn't lie,
12:37is that, essentially, you've had some sort of verbal interaction,
12:40and the chap that you pointed out to me is a suspect.
12:42You then punched three times to the face
12:44before he's defended himself. OK.
12:46And then it's sort of continued.
12:48So, you think I'm going to get hit again, like, the last time?
12:51That doesn't... The last time I was assaulted.
12:53But this isn't about last time. This is about tonight.
12:56This isn't tonight. But I need you to listen to me.
12:58You need to listen to me now.
13:00I appreciate what's been going on for however long it's been going on for
13:03is extremely frustrating, but these boys here
13:05are not the boys that assaulted you last time you got assaulted.
13:07You've actually pre-emptively assaulted them,
13:09thinking you were going to get assaulted.
13:11Essentially, what's happened today...
13:13Do you want me to give you the videos of the last 100 times?
13:15It's a sustained assault, which you are now a suspect for.
13:18I've just seen it on the footage. OK, fine.
13:20Can you pass me your arm, please?
13:22So, at the moment, you're under arrest on suspicion of actual bodily harm.
13:24OK. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
13:26if you do not mention the question. I'm not...
13:28Something which you later rely on in court, anything you do say
13:30may be given in evidence. I'm not going to do anything at all.
13:33But I have never hurt anybody until tonight.
13:36No, no, I understand that.
13:38And obviously you can understand what the offence is.
13:40I understand, I understand.
13:42It's not about taking people's sides.
13:45People think it is quite a lot of the time.
13:47And they make themselves out to be more of the victim
13:50or try to be all convincing.
13:52But ultimately, we just go where the evidence leads us.
13:54We don't just take things at face value.
13:57Your chariot has arrived.
13:59Just get this officer shut up, please.
14:02Take a seat.
14:04I think it's just frustrating, I think, more than anything.
14:22I can't remember the last time I had a kebab under the influence.
14:26I tend to eat them sober.
14:29Do the extra chilli sauce.
14:31I'm more of a garlic man. Oh. I know.
14:34On a night out, end of a night out, I'm a garlic man.
14:37No, on a... Yeah.
14:39I've been a police officer for 27 years.
14:41I was, like, met through and through,
14:43but I transferred six years ago,
14:45so then I went back into uniform and back onto response.
14:49And I absolutely love it. I'm having a ball.
14:52Yeah, but why chilli?
14:54I mean, why chilli? Why not?
14:56If it's too chilli, then you can't taste the kebab.
14:58There's no such thing as too chilli.
15:00If you get the right chilli, it's just, like, a bit of a...
15:06A bit of a...
15:09But in a good way.
15:11As far as I'm concerned, whatever the question is,
15:13the answer is kebab.
15:19Charlie Romeo 107.
15:21There's a Grade 1, Brightstone Church Street.
15:25Another ten-year-old lad, no adult with him.
15:28Yeah, that's all received.
15:32So we've not had a mystery report yet? No.
15:34Because normally we'd had a report, wouldn't we?
15:37So somebody somewhere is missing their ten-year-old.
15:45There's a scene in Ghost where Patrick Swayze's best friend
15:50gets killed, and there's, like, dark shadows of bodies
15:56grabbing him as they sort of drag him down,
15:59cos he's obviously going to hell.
16:01That's Brighton, late at night.
16:04The pubs are closed, there's no security on the street.
16:08Anybody that's on the street is either up to no good
16:11or vulnerable or drunk or lost.
16:14It's not a place for a ten-year-old.
16:18107 are now heading back towards the dome.
16:21Oh, yeah, I see them. Up by the motorboats.
16:26Hello, mate. Mate, are you all right?
16:29What's up? Can we just stop and have a chat for a minute?
16:32Cos you're a bit young, aren't you?
16:34Nothing. I'm not saying anything.
16:37What's your first name?
16:39OK, no comment, that's an interesting first name.
16:42My name's Emma. Where are you heading?
16:45You don't know? OK.
16:51OK.
16:55People see the uniform, first of all, and then it's up to you
16:59to try and get them to see past the uniform and see Emma.
17:03And I may not have ever dealt with what you're dealing with,
17:08but that doesn't mean I can't empathise,
17:11it doesn't mean I can't listen.
17:14You have to be able to cut to the chase,
17:17but in a kind of sensitive way.
17:19So why don't we try and work out how to get you home?
17:23We can give you a lift.
17:26Cos you're too young to be on a bus in this time of night.
17:32The skills that you hone over however many years that you do the job
17:37can literally be used in every single situation
17:41of every single part of life.
17:43You know, the cliche of, we're a social worker, we're a teacher.
17:47We are, we're everything to everybody on any given day.
17:52What year were you born?
17:552000.
17:57Eight or seven?
17:59Eight.
18:00Don't know what to do, we're kind of stuck, aren't we?
18:03Go ahead.
18:05What's the deal with the child before you're done?
18:09So, we were currently no-name,
18:11he's claiming to be a 14-year-old midget,
18:14but I've just got his mum's address
18:16and I'm just searching her on Niche.
18:20Oh, if we've got a photo...
18:22If we've got a photo of you...
18:24Hang on, look, he's thinking about it, he's thinking about it.
18:27I bet you it looks nothing like me.
18:29Oh!
18:32You're also not 14.
18:34I am.
18:35You're not, you're 12.
18:37You're 12.
18:39You know that thing that you come to work to get away from?
18:42Yeah, he's always there with you.
18:44He gave his mum's name in the end, so that's how I found him.
18:47But that's as far as I've got.
18:49He's an entertaining, gobby, young gentleman.
18:53Let's find the kid out of the patch.
18:55I'm a little worried.
18:57What?
18:58What?
18:59You look like the kid out of the patch, though.
19:02The film!
19:04One of the best Christmas films you're ever going to watch.
19:08I've located this lad on Niche as well,
19:10so I've got a home address which I'm inking.
19:13That's all received, thank you.
19:15I'm going to leave you in the hands of these two lovely officers, all right?
19:18Safe, all right? Have a good night.
19:22I thought it was going to run, to be fair.
19:24That's a bit unreal.
19:27Bit shaky.
19:30You know, your box of tricks is just never-ending.
19:33It's like the Mary Poppins bag, it's just, keep putting your hand in.
19:36Like, what am I going to deal with today?
19:38Yeah.
19:55Did everyone get that attention?
19:57It's a blue polo.
19:59Mint condition.
20:01Fuck off!
20:03Oh, no!
20:05You are insufferable!
20:09WHISTLE BLOWS
20:16I think a lot of people, if they saw themselves when they were drunk,
20:21they would be absolutely mortified.
20:24In that moment, they don't realise how they're behaving.
20:29It's literally like dealing with giant toddlers.
20:39Wait, wait, wait.
20:41Very drunk female.
20:45That makes things easier.
20:49You all right? What's going on?
20:53OK.
20:58Puffs first.
21:01You know what I'm saying?
21:06Do you have anything sharp on you, any knives or needles?
21:09Why don't you tell me so I don't hurt myself?
21:11Because you do.
21:13Can we just kind of find out what's actually been going on?
21:16We've gone out for a few drinks tonight,
21:18and I think she's got a bit agitated, yeah? OK.
21:20And I've tried to calm her down the whole night, yeah? Yeah.
21:23I think the problem is a few people have bumped into her,
21:26they've been... I'll be honest, they've been a bit racist to her.
21:29OK, no worries. So apparently she's shoved you as well?
21:32No. No? No, I tripped.
21:36What?
21:39I think you are.
21:43I don't really drink a handful of times in the last couple of years,
21:47and night shifts reinforce that for me.
21:52I'm just going to go stand over here so you can stop shouting at everyone.
21:56Here we go.
22:10Listen, we're going to issue you with a Section 35 notice,
22:13and we're going to take you home.
22:15No! Without, or you go taken to custody.
22:17What's it going to be?
22:22We don't want to take her to custody,
22:24so I think the plan is basically to drive her home,
22:26make sure she's going to be OK there and there's someone to look after her.
22:29Come on, we're going to put you in the car and take you home, OK?
22:32No! Come on. Yeah, we are.
22:34I mean, if we weren't vaguely lenient with things like this,
22:39then, I mean, pretty much all of West Street
22:41would end up getting nicked and in custody,
22:43and we don't have the capacity for that, so...
22:47Off she goes.
22:55Southings Police, what's your emergency?
22:57Hi, I was in bed and I got woken up and someone's shouting.
23:01I looked out the window. There's a guy in his car
23:04and I think it's his girlfriend in the passenger seat
23:08and he's being quite violent with her.
23:11We'll get some officers out there now, OK?
23:15The male is pushing and holding the female against the car window,
23:19thinks they're arguing. No further information.
23:22I suppose I've been doing this a couple of years now,
23:25but I think there's a part of me that still gets nervous
23:28when you go to a job.
23:30You never know where you're going to
23:32and you can never plan what you're going to do when you turn up
23:35because it will always be different to what you expected.
23:38Yeah, we're on scene, just trying to locate these people.
23:41There's a lot of cars here, so I'm just trying to...
23:44I'm straight ahead.
23:46Yeah.
23:49CAR HONKS
23:54Hello. You all right?
23:56You guys all right to both step out of the car?
23:58We've had a 999 call. Can you step out of the car for me, please?
24:01Yeah, sure.
24:03Can you step out of the car for me, please?
24:06I think they're deaf.
24:08No. OK.
24:10Are you deaf?
24:12OK, can you lip-read? OK.
24:14What's happened? Is it your boyfriend?
24:17Your boyfriend, OK. Can you lip-read?
24:19Yeah. You can. Can we talk over there?
24:22Have you got your driving licence?
24:25Can you stand over there for me for a minute?
24:28Over there. I can't stand.
24:30Can you come over here with me for a minute, please?
24:32I need to talk to you. I can't talk to you.
24:34Can you talk to me here? Separately, of him.
24:37113, we're with the female and male party.
24:40We've managed to get to the point that they are in a relationship.
24:43Both parties are deaf and we're struggling to engage with them.
24:47Is there another unit that could potentially float towards them?
24:50I'm getting the impression this male might be a little bit tricky.
24:54Because we had a call...
24:58..about you arguing with each other.
25:00Yes.
25:05But we're here to make sure everyone's OK.
25:10But...
25:12I don't need to answer that.
25:14I'm here.
25:15So, at the moment, you're under arrest on suspicion of ABA.
25:18No, he asked it.
25:21OK? For assault.
25:23He asked it.
25:25For assault.
25:26For assault.
25:27Excuse me.
25:28I've got it.
25:29Excuse me.
25:30Jodie, I've got him.
25:31I've got him.
25:32I've got him.
25:33Come on, he's on the hurry-up.
25:35Leave him alone.
25:37Stay still. Stand still.
25:39Leave him alone.
25:40Stay still. Stand still. Stand still.
25:42Don't push me! Don't push me!
25:49Leave him alone.
25:50Stay still. Stand still. Stand still.
25:52Don't push me! Don't push me!
25:54OK.
25:55113.
25:57OK. No, don't push me!
26:01113, hurry up, please.
26:03I've got my colleague struggling with a female and I'm with a male.
26:06Don't push me!
26:08Get on the floor!
26:10Get on the floor!
26:12Get down now! Get down!
26:14Get down and stay there.
26:16Do not move. Do not move.
26:19Right, you're under arrest for assault, please.
26:21Are you OK?
26:22Yeah, I'm good.
26:24Commons, 113.
26:25Male in custody for domestic common assault.
26:28Female, now on the floor, detained for assault, please.
26:31Where's the next unit?
26:32Are you OK?
26:33Yeah, I'm good.
26:35Say that.
26:39OK.
26:40All right?
26:41Sir, look.
26:43Look.
26:44Look, right, look.
26:45I don't know his sign language, but I know a very small amount.
26:49So you're under arrest...
26:51For?
26:52..for assault.
26:53My half-brother is partially deaf
26:57and when he was born, I started to learn a bit of sign language.
27:02Look, look, look.
27:03Something which you later rely on in court.
27:06I feel it would be beneficial
27:08because we have lots of people on the team that know different languages
27:12and it's nice to be able to make sure that people have understood.
27:15So someone has seen something happening
27:19and there's been an allegation that you have assaulted your girlfriend.
27:25Brady, are you OK? Yeah.
27:27Can I have a word with you for a minute? Yeah.
27:29I'm so sorry, I didn't know what to do with him.
27:31Yeah. I literally felt fucking helpless.
27:33The initial call that came in was that
27:35she was being kind of pushed up against the inside of the door
27:38and that they were arguing and he was being violent towards her.
27:43Whoever books her in, Jodie has got...
27:45It's going to be an AB8 because it's coming up already.
27:48She's taken multiple punches.
27:50She was just swinging her arm.
27:52Is this in a car?
27:54I think it's easier to move on when you've been to a challenging job.
27:58If you're with a colleague, if you can talk about what's happened.
28:03I think it's really important, getting stuff off your chest.
28:07If you keep everything bottled up about every job you ever went to,
28:11then you'd never process anything properly.
28:14Unfortunately, being assaulted is a part of the job.
28:19It shouldn't be.
28:21But that's just the way it is, unfortunately.
28:33We're getting food, mate.
28:37You all right, mate? Yeah, you?
28:39Yeah, good. Can I get a chicken shish wrap, please?
28:41Wrap? Yeah, wrap, yeah.
28:43This is the best. Every Marble Ship I'm here.
28:46Yeah, just the spicy one.
28:49Always busy.
28:51You never know when you'll get a chance to eat.
28:54You've got to refuel, haven't you?
28:57Thanks a lot.
29:00They're not going to be able to shut him up now.
29:05Oh, my God.
29:06It's not really great to be chasing someone and then be like,
29:09sorry, I've just had a kebab.
29:11If he can slow me down, I just get all tired and sleepy.
29:14Please slow down, I've had a kebab.
29:17Please don't run.
29:19Sussex Police, emergency.
29:21Hello there, I'm a north supervisor in Agee Maze.
29:23We've got a female inside the venue that's been heavily drinking
29:26and also she's stated that she's going to be driving home,
29:29so hopefully you've got a unit nearby and she doesn't kill someone.
29:33Guys, this lady is...
29:35Sus DIC is just getting ready to leave for the pub now.
29:38We all kind of need to run over there and make sure
29:40she doesn't try and drive off.
29:42100-metre sprint. 100-metre sprint?
29:44Yep, she's getting in.
29:46Who's up for a run?
29:49When adrenaline is bumping, you're almost acting on kind of reflex.
29:53The important thing is keeping enough of a sound mind
29:57so you can deal with everything in that very logical, factual way.
30:02OK, as I've just stopped you in a motor vehicle,
30:05and I have reason to believe you may have been drinking tonight,
30:08I am going to require you to provide me with a specimen of breath at the roadside.
30:11Failure to do so may leave you liable for arrest.
30:13OK, is that all right? Do you have anything on you?
30:15You should know.
30:16So, have you had anything to drink in the last half hour?
30:18Yep, I've just had a...
30:21Might have been a double vodka and coke
30:23about two minutes before I got to my car.
30:25So there we go, I've openly admitted I'm being honest with you.
30:28We're just working out the time.
30:30I was never challenged in my previous job,
30:33and so I was quite able to run on three hours of sleep
30:36and not really worry too much.
30:38I can't do that here, because it is taxing,
30:41and it is difficult, and it's challenging.
30:44And I love that.
30:46Hiya. Who was it that spoke to the lady regarding the car?
30:49It was myself.
30:50You yourself called in?
30:51Were you the one that she spoke to about her intentions to drive?
30:54See, we overheard her say that,
30:56and obviously I'd seen inside the venue that she'd been drinking also.
31:00OK.
31:01So just see your lips round the tube, one long steady blow till I tell you to stop.
31:04Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
31:06There you go, that's all right.
31:08Obviously I asked them to put the drink back on the table,
31:10put it onto the table so I couldn't drink it outside.
31:13So the lady in the leopard print then took it off her and then downed it in front of her.
31:16OK, cool.
31:17And then came outside.
31:18And when you said that, did she literally just slam the whole thing in what?
31:21Yeah.
31:22Fair enough.
31:23Fair enough about, mate.
31:24Right, OK.
31:26I think everybody inside the venue looked at her and went,
31:28Jesus!
31:30How do I describe she slammed a drink in professional terms?
31:37OK, you've failed the breathalyser.
31:39You've blown 39.
31:41You're under arrest for being in charge of a motor vehicle
31:43with an alcohol limit above the prescribed limit, OK?
31:46Just put your arms one over the top like that for me.
31:51My friend also said to me later on, she's also got gear down her...
31:55She said gear?
31:57Yeah, gear down her top.
32:01OK.
32:02And how did you interpret gear?
32:04What did you think that meant?
32:05Cocaine.
32:06Right.
32:07Thank you very much for your time, guys.
32:09Have a good evening.
32:11Ever since I was a kid, I've had quite an ingrained moral compass
32:16that's always just kind of guided my actions.
32:19And I think that's part of what that means to be a police officer,
32:22is to keep doing the right thing.
32:25Are they all still in the van?
32:26Yeah.
32:27They're going to need two females.
32:29Are you worried about what was said about Class A?
32:32No, not anything.
32:33Suspicion of possession of Class A.
32:35OK, cool. All right.
32:37Yeah, I've got a little...
32:38You are further under arrest.
32:39Under suspicion of possession of a Class A substance.
32:41OK.
32:43Every job is so unique.
32:45You are pretty much always doing something you've never done before.
32:49But I quite like that.
32:50Over here, please.
32:52I like it when you're having to almost improvise,
32:55cos that's when it gets interesting.
32:57That's what keeps you getting out of bed in the morning,
33:00cos today's going to be fascinating.
33:03Cheers, Sarge.
33:04Cheers, Sarge.
33:30Left five, ten minutes ago, so she's been gone.
33:34Half an hour.
33:37Romeo 107, go ahead.
33:39We've got Stammer to one side and Wild Park to the other.
33:43Stammer is nearer on foot to where she is.
33:46That's received, 107.
33:48Do you want to head up towards Stammer and have a look round there?
33:54If she goes unconscious in a dark area with no footfall,
33:59there's very little chance of us finding her, isn't there?
34:04It will literally be every unit that isn't dealing with anything else
34:08will be on this.
34:13If you want to take a walk, Ollie...
34:15Yeah.
34:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:18Yeah?
34:19Yeah.
34:25Comms 107.
34:26Carry on.
34:27We've just heard a scream, female scream.
34:33Yes, yes.
34:35We're going to go and investigate the scream.
34:41Might be better off if you get a heat signal and give me a direction,
34:44cos it's quite a massive bit of area.
34:46Foxes, they sound like babies.
34:47That wasn't a fox, that was like a...
34:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:50..like scream.
34:51OK, good, I'm not going mad.
34:52No, definitely not.
34:55When you're doing a major search, everybody plays their part,
35:00whether it's the people in the control room,
35:02the officers searching on foot,
35:04or for me specifically, flying the drone.
35:08So I reckon the scream came from there.
35:12The drone's brilliant.
35:14You can use infrared, which is helpful, but it is limited.
35:19It's coming from somewhere over here,
35:21but the drone can't pick up anything.
35:23This could be foxes, but it sounded quite like a human scream.
35:27We're just going to see what it is.
35:29Can you see that?
35:31On the floor over there?
35:33Oh, I don't know what that is.
35:39Are they animals?
35:45I don't know. I think they're logs.
35:49That is what she's looking at, isn't it?
35:51That's right, guys, it's just logs.
35:54What was it?
35:56I hate to say it. Logs.
35:58Logs? Logs.
36:00I thought they could possibly be humans, like, laying down on the floor.
36:03See? They were quite big logs.
36:10Information just got on the CAD.
36:12She's definitely in one.
36:14I can hear voices coming from the southern side,
36:18so I'm checking as well.
36:21What's that over there?
36:23What does that look like, please?
36:27This would be potentially one of the routes she would take out.
36:30So, see, she might be up top there.
36:36One, two, one, she ran out of jackets.
36:39Oh.
36:43One, two, one, found her. Thank you.
36:45Nine, nine, one, found her.
36:48One, two, one, found her. Thank you. Nine, nine, we're with her.
36:51Boom. Excellent work by you all.
36:53Thanks very much.
36:55We'll wait and see.
36:57Back to the nick for tea and medals.
37:00Woo!
37:04Whether it's a ten-minute search or an hour,
37:06and then suddenly we get a phone call,
37:08found him, and everybody's like...
37:12It's not necessarily a good job done,
37:15it's just, thank God I found him, you know.
37:18And then, literally, you are on to the next job.
37:31116, are you in a position to take a welfare check for me, please?
37:34Charlie Romeo, 116, go ahead.
37:36I'll do some checks on the address, but in short,
37:38a couple of people who haven't seen this gentleman for a while,
37:41so it's just to go and do a door knock.
37:43Yes, yes, shows are signed, and I'll give the cadre.
37:46Doesn't leave his home, but he isn't answering his landline.
37:49They haven't had contact since January, so that's why they're concerned.
37:53So it's just a case of going to his address, seeing if he's there,
37:57and hopefully, hopefully he's all right.
38:00But I'm probably a little bit cynical,
38:02because, yeah, we've done some jobs like this before.
38:07When was that delivered to you?
38:09Well, it's a parcel from February.
38:13Yeah, that's not a good time, is it? We're in April now.
38:18I can't see, like, any body on the floor or anything.
38:21You do feel the responsibility,
38:24because you know you're the person that's going to help that person
38:27in that situation, so you know that you need to get there
38:30and you need to do a good job when you're there.
38:33Hello, it's the police.
38:35Oh, there we go.
38:37Hello, sorry to bother you.
38:39Do you know your neighbour at all? Yeah.
38:41Have you heard or seen him in a while? I haven't, no.
38:44When was the last time you saw him? Oh...about four weeks ago.
38:48You know, I am a bit worried, but he's such a...
38:51He just likes to be on his own. Yeah, on his own.
38:53OK, you've helped us. Take care, bye-bye.
38:55Let me know if there's anything happened, OK?
38:58I believe you've got a friend who lives at the number...
39:01Erm, do you happen to have keys to his property?
39:04Oh, you do?
39:0620 minutes with the keys, thank you very much.
39:09Oh, is this him?
39:13Hello.
39:15That's the man I spoke to, he wasn't doing well.
39:17We're obviously a bit concerned for his welfare.
39:19Do you want us to just go in and check he's all right first?
39:24Just, erm, I think we'll just go in and make sure he's OK.
39:27So I think maybe if you just wait outside for us.
39:31Yeah. I think...
39:33His bedroom's upstairs. OK. He's obviously in bed.
39:35OK. Do you want to just pop outside for us? Yeah, OK.
39:40A lot of post.
39:43Mind your footing. Is there a light switch?
39:45Shall we turn on the light?
39:47It's the police.
39:50Ah, yeah, he's...
39:52His body's just by the entry of that door.
39:57Shall I ring 116? Oh, dear.
40:00He's been there quite a while. He's been there longer than a week.
40:04Did you get the flyers coming out as soon as we walked out? Yeah.
40:09I think, for me, being a police officer
40:11is about being there for people.
40:13I'm very proud that I'm in this position.
40:16Did you look for him, though?
40:18I'll just go and speak with him now.
40:20And that I'm involved in so many people's lives
40:23at times when it really matters.
40:25Erm, so I'm really sorry to tell you, but he's passed away.
40:29He's gone? He's passed away.
40:31Oh, dear. OK, yeah, so...
40:33What a shame. I know, I know.
40:35It is the worst day of their life, potentially,
40:38when we're at their door dealing with them.
40:41And if I can be there and give them some support
40:44or just give them reassurance, I think it makes all the difference.
40:49Are you going to be all right driving home?
40:51Yeah, it's my car there. I'm all right.
40:53I can drive. All right.
40:55Oh, bless.
40:58We're looking for any next of kin.
41:00A suggestion that he was with the doctors.
41:03He's got notes written everywhere, hasn't he?
41:06Oh, in the event...
41:08Oh, in the event of my death, please telephone.
41:11Really? Yeah.
41:13In the event of my death, please telephone that number
41:16or that number or that number.
41:18Clearly very organised chat.
41:20Well, that's an old note, though.
41:22That's been there a long time.
41:24Clearly very organised chat.
41:26Well, that's an old note, though.
41:28That's been there a while, but at least we've got something.
41:31I think it's sad that someone's passed away
41:34and he doesn't really have any family.
41:36You know, he's just got a few neighbours that are calling in on him.
41:40Yeah, I don't like this bit.
41:42Well, I don't like either bit, but this bit's...
41:45What's it look like?
41:47Oh, hello. Hello.
41:49I'm sorry to say, but he has passed away.
41:52Oh, dear, that's what we were worried about.
41:54For what it's worth, he just passed away very peacefully.
41:57Thank you very much for letting me know.
41:59All right, take care.
42:01It's a part of life, dying,
42:04and you just try and be as respectful as you can.
42:08But, yeah, it's sad. It's sad.
42:12Jodie died between the 6th to the 12th of February.
42:16How do you know that?
42:18He keeps a diary showing when he's meant to take medication
42:21for the future as well,
42:23and he's only managed to flip up to the page of the 6th to the 12th of February.
42:27So he's been here for two months, at least.
42:35What's happening there?
42:37We are all human beings.
42:39I come to work and I put on my police uniform,
42:42but I'm still a person. I do care.
42:45I used to work for a bank,
42:47and I just think the difference that I'm making now,
42:50I can't imagine doing anything different.
42:52Jodie, how are you doing there?
42:54Um, yeah, a bit sad, innit?
42:57All you can do is just focus on what you're like as an officer
43:01and try and make a positive impact.
43:15At the end of a shift,
43:17it's like clearing out a bar after last call,
43:20and you're basically just getting rid of the bits and pieces that are left over.
43:24You all right, mate? What's going on?
43:35OK. Got any ID on you?
43:38You got everything but ID?
43:40You got a glow stick?
43:48You dropped it again?
43:50You just dropped it again, mate. Go on.
43:52Right, where's your ID? Have you lost it, or what?
43:58We're just asking your name, mate.
44:02Yeah, you're absolutely hammered.
44:04He's too drunk to even tell me his name.
44:09Let's get in the van.
44:10Hey, do you want to jump in?
44:12No, we're going to take you to the station.
44:14As frustrating as they are sometimes,
44:16it is nice to help people.
44:18OK, come on, in the van, we're going to go.
44:20Come on, let's go in there.
44:22Oh, my God.
44:24Hey, there you go.
44:26Oh, my God, bro.
44:32Bryson has a two-hour reset,
44:34and then the whole thing happens again.
44:36That's it.
44:38It's why the job is fun, because there's always tomorrow.
44:42I can retire next year,
44:44but what would be the point of me trying to find a job
44:47that I like as much as this job?
44:49So I have no intention of retiring.
44:52I get to drive police cars with blue lights and sirens.
44:55I get to fly drones.
44:57I get to be as sarcastic as I possibly can be,
45:01and I'm still happy.
45:03You know, it still makes my tail wag.
45:11♪
45:42Do what you want!
45:44Fuck yeah!
45:46Just to show you how impolite that is.
45:48It's actually female in here is a legend that she's been.
45:55He's done a good job with that, hasn't he?
45:57He's done a really good job.
45:59Don't push against me.
46:01I've done nothing wrong.
46:03Shut your mouth. Go home!
46:05Fucking joke.
46:07I'm getting an unusually prone response tonight.
46:09That wasn't very clever, was it?
46:11Can you put my balls on camera, please?
46:13Can you put your balls away, then?
46:39♪
