00:29I've reached a vehicle and it says, has a sticker saying thieves will be spanked and dust caps with mini male genitalia.
00:45I need to find that now.
00:52We're all on the hunt for a tasty BJ.
00:55I think we might have lost it.
01:00I'm going to be forever looking out for it now.
01:03Gonna get us some tasty BJ at some point.
01:06100% and I tell you what, it's been too long!

01:30He's down on the floor now!
01:32And it caught me in a wolf.
01:35WHISTLE BLOWS
01:38WHISTLE BLOWS
01:42Oh, look at that seagull's eating someone's chunder.
01:46Oh!
01:48That seagull's like, oh my God, what is this? Lobster bisque?
01:51Brighton at night is like a jungle.
01:57Look at them living their best lives.
01:59He loves it in the red.
02:01It's chaotic. People are a mess.
02:02It's literally not even ten o'clock and everyone's going...
02:03I can't do it, Charlie, one night one.
02:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:05Yeah.
02:06You can imagine them getting ready to go out and they're sort of, yeah, I can't wait to go out and they look really nice.
02:08And as the hours go on, people end up behaving really animalistic.
02:12Yeah.
02:14It's chaotic. People are a mess.
02:15It's literally not even ten o'clock and everyone's going...
02:16I can't do it, Charlie, one night one.
02:18Yeah, yeah.
02:19Yeah.
02:20You can imagine them getting ready to go out and they're sort of, yeah, I can't wait to go out and they look really nice.
02:33And as the hours go on, people end up behaving really animalistic.
02:39All hell unleashes.
02:42And we're there in the middle.
02:43We've got one belt of paint outside Harbour Hotel on the seat front.
02:52We've been biting doorstep and attacking punters on the street.
02:56I'm currently trying to detain him.
02:58I'm just putting his b****** leg.
03:00Look, he's biting. He's biting me.
03:03Don't bite me.
03:04He's just f****** hit.
03:06Who are you talking about?
03:07It's mine.
03:08It's mine.
03:09Can we just let him go?
03:10No.
03:11He f****** hit me, bro.
03:12He's biting two people.
03:13Trust me.
03:14He can't be let go.
03:15No.
03:16Be careful.
03:17Ah, he's grabbing my nuts.
03:18He's grabbing my nuts.
03:19He's grabbing my nuts.
03:20He bit your nuts.
03:21He bit your nuts.
03:22He bit your nuts.
03:23He bit your nuts.
03:24He bit your nuts.
03:25They're nuts.
03:26This is the worstest thing in the past.
03:32We're all heading down now.
03:33To the hub of a child?
03:34Yeah, biting man.
03:40Biting's really nasty.
03:41I've been bitten badly.
03:42I mean, I've still got the guy's teeth marks on my arms.
03:47I'll be seven years living the job next year.
03:49I've got lots of punches and roll around.
03:52But yeah, some of them are biting that's really sort of animalistic and just really dirty.
03:57I don't want you standing and filming all that.
03:58Just move back.
03:59As far as that.
04:00Just move back.
04:01Just move back.
04:02As far as that.
04:03I'll tell you why.
04:04Because he's bitten somewhere.
04:05That's why.
04:06So move back, yeah?
04:07So move back, yeah?
04:08When everything's kicking off around you, it's really important that you stay calm.
04:09Don't worry, it's all over social media.
04:10Just move back a bit, mate.
04:11You can film.
04:12Just move back a bit.
04:13Just move back a bit, right?
04:14Just move back a bit, right?
04:15Just move back a bit, right?
04:16Just move back a bit, right?
04:17Just move back a bit, right?
04:18Just move back.
04:19I don't want you standing and filming all that.
04:20Just move back.
04:21As far as that.
04:22Why the **** is this happening?
04:23I'll tell you why.
04:24Because he's bitten somewhere.
04:25That's why.
04:26So move back, yeah?
04:27When everything's kicking off around you, it's really important that you stay calm.
04:34Don't worry, it's all over social media.
04:35Just move back a bit, mate.
04:36You can film.
04:37Just move back a bit, right?
04:38It's just a case of just reminding yourself, just, John, just don't do anything stupid.
04:45All right, we haven't got a van.
04:48It's not fighting anymore.
04:49OK.
04:50You don't want to escalate.
04:51You want to deal with one situation and let's all get out of here.
04:55Move back a bit, now.
04:56No, no, no, no.
04:57Don't touch me.
04:58You're not allowed.
04:59Just because of your police.
05:00Yeah, I can.
05:01Yeah, I can, actually.
05:02You can, now move.
05:03Right?
05:04No, you cannot touch me.
05:05But it can then get worse.
05:08And then it's like, here we go.
05:11This is it.
05:12You cannot touch me.
05:13I can't touch me.
05:14I can't touch me.
05:15I can't touch me.
05:16I can't touch me.
05:17What the ****?
05:18All right, don't pinch me.
05:20Get down.
05:21Get down.
05:22Get down.
05:23Get down.
05:24There's a man going round, taking names.
05:27Put your hands on your back now.
05:29And he decides.
05:30Right.
05:31And he blames.
05:32Right.
05:33You're under arrest.
05:34The police officer.
05:35Everybody will be treated all the same.
05:37These two need to just get up.
05:39We'll move away.
05:40Then just get rid of them.
05:41Reaching down.
05:42Right.
05:43Come over here.
05:44Stop talking.
05:45When the man comes around.
05:46I think a show of force is very effective.
05:52I've seen loads of people being really hostile to crying like a baby.
05:58I don't like being touched and grabbed and pinched.
06:01So if I see you again, you'll be coming in.
06:04Is that really clear?
06:05Yeah.
06:06Yeah.
06:07It's that sudden change of dynamic.
06:10They realise, you know, I've been dealt with by the police here.
06:13They will definitely go home.
06:14Very sheepish after that than before.
06:20It is a physical job.
06:23It was great.
06:24I kind of enjoyed it.
06:25See that?
06:26Every day you're getting hands on.
06:28Every day you're being pushed or you're pushing back.
06:31It's how I like it.
06:35It's straight in.
06:36And that's truthful.
06:38That was mental.
06:40I smashed heads with loads of people.
06:42I don't know who they were.
06:43I don't mean like mental.
06:45I'm sorry.
06:47I'm sorry.
06:48It's not coming to us.
06:50Whoever is unjust.
06:53Alcohol, the effects, it's just unpredictable.
06:56We're going to help you up and walk, mate, OK?
06:58Just shut the fuck up.
07:00Bye.
07:01They're just crazy.
07:02They're absolutely crazy.
07:03So my first question is, have you consumed any alcohol today?
07:07I was invited to a brunch, bottomless, and in six people we have four bottles per second.
07:15OK.
07:16Do you have a writing or reading difficulty?
07:19I'm really busy, boy.
07:20Good.
07:21Do you suffer from any mental hurt?
07:23I do not.
07:23OK, good.
07:25I might be from today almost.
07:27I hope not.
07:30An abused guy.
07:32So dangerous.
07:34Don't you fucking kick me?
07:36Really?
07:37Do not!
07:38You're further arrested for assault police.
07:42People lose who they are and their mind.
07:45It can be disturbing, it can be comical.
07:48Please don't touch my dick.
07:50This job is absolutely insane.
07:54Spitting and biting?
07:56No.
07:57I'd rather just be punched in the face.
07:59100%.
08:00I think biting and spitting is one of the worst things anyone could ever do.
08:05Oh, yeah.
08:06I'm like, are you a camel?
08:08If not, keep that saliva in your gob.
08:11You get a lot of biters.
08:13More so than you'd think in a human species.
08:23I'm not feeling the vibe in town today.
08:26No.
08:27It feels aggy, doesn't it?
08:28Yeah.
08:29I'm feeling...
08:30On edge.
08:31On edge.
08:33What's next?
08:34Could be anything.
08:36It's been the Wheel of Mayhem.
08:37It's been the Wheel of Mayhem.
08:42PHONE RINGS
08:43A night shift.
08:44At times it's intense.
08:58There's a lot of weirdos about and people get weird kicks off doing weird things.
09:14There's a male at the pier, apparently with a long chain and a balls.
09:19Possibly something in a sock as well.
09:21It's here somewhere.
09:23There's so many dangerous people out there.
09:29I think you've got to be careful.
09:32There's no one here.
09:35He was at the fruit hut.
09:38You have to repair yourself for what you can do when you get out of the car.
09:45This is the fruit hut.
09:47And they're never a nice one to deal with, especially violent ones.
09:51One, two, four, we're at the fruit hut and can't see anything at present.
09:55Someone's talking, round here.
10:02Hello, mate.
10:03Hello.
10:04Can you put that down for me, bud?
10:07As a police officer, when you come across a dangerous suspect...
10:10Just put that down for me, mate.
10:12One, two, four, behind the fruit hut with the mail.
10:15Quite often they will be quite hostile towards police.
10:18Can you put that down that's in your hand, please?
10:20And you just need to expect the unexpected,
10:23cos anything could happen now.
10:25Mate, put it down now.
10:26He has a green sock with something inside it.
10:28Mate, put it down.
10:33Stop!
10:36Run out towards the audience.
10:40I think we all like a bit of the action sometimes.
10:43Mate, stop!
10:45But I don't really deal with that, running in and arresting people.
10:48Hello, Jackie.
10:49Hello, Jackie.
10:50Hello, Jackie.
10:51He's got a shot.
10:52He's got a gun or anything.
10:56Go where you are!
10:57Drop it!
10:58On your front.
10:59On your front.
11:00Out!
11:02One, two, four, one to ten.
11:04No officer injuries.
11:07All right, ready?
11:08Three, two, one.
11:10OK.
11:11I just need to search.
11:12Do you have anything on you that you shouldn't have at all?
11:13No.
11:14Anything sharp?
11:15Anything that might hurt me in any way?
11:17No.
11:19I mean, all sorts turn up.
11:21Do you know what it is?
11:24Anything goes nowadays.
11:26All right, it's like a marble egg, I think.
11:29It's hard, like, really hard.
11:30It's like a pool ball, but not that shape.
11:33So I think it's probably a marble egg.
11:35Oh, God, they look right.
11:36Oh, you know why I'm bleeding.
11:38Because they fucking pushed me down on the fucking floor.
11:42So nice.
11:44Have you taken anything tonight, mate?
11:45No.
11:47Here's the justice.
11:49Here's Brighton.
11:51Congratulations.
11:53Yes.
11:54All right?
11:57I think at times, you don't have a clear picture of exactly what has happened.
12:01People can feel a little bit weird.
12:06It's very easy to read something, make a judgement.
12:09But you don't always know what you're dealing with.
12:12It's hard to work out sometimes.
12:14God, I'm gasping after that.
12:17Fucking hell, you can run.
12:18Yeah.
12:19I can run or you can run.
12:20We both?
12:21Oh, fuck that shit.
12:22Oh, shit.
12:23No way.
12:24He had long legs.
12:26And on the flat, he was not stopping.
12:29The trick is you don't have to be as fast as them.
12:32You just have to keep eyes on.
12:34Yeah.
12:35They'll run out of steam.
12:36Bish bash bosh.
12:38One in the bin.
12:40One marble egg in a sock secured.
12:42You know, when you go to some jobs and there's no, like, witnesses or CCTV, but there's a dog.
13:01I just think you have all the answers, but you can't tell me.
13:07Tell me everything yeah, where are the drugs I love a Friday and Saturday night shift
13:29I love talking to drunk people and I love it when stag dudes and Hindus come up to you asking for a
13:37picture because it's on their tick list or whatever
13:40You're the most beautiful police officer
13:45Most beautiful police officer
13:48Don't worry I'm standing right here
13:50See ya
13:53Growing up in Brighton I always kind of knew that policing the area that you live you'd see a different side to it
14:01So I wouldn't say it surprised me more opened my eyes
14:05Oh we got the hands out
14:08Before I became a police officer I used to work in the prison service
14:12That role was a culture shock because you imagine every single prisoner to be violent hating everyone
14:19But actually some would come across as everyday sort of normal people and you'd never guess what they'd done
14:26I think my previous role has helped me expect the unexpected
14:33We do come across quite a few robberies
14:48We do come across quite a few robberies
15:00Okay well they're loose enough that when we get to custody we'll take them off
15:03Usually robbers are youngish men
15:07Right put yourself in the car and get you absolutely
15:14Every now and again you're a bit like oh not sure you should be here
15:20I can't believe this I'm a 60 year old woman
15:24It's not often you arrest a granny
15:27So she is with us for a robbery
15:30And then so the victim was punched eight times to the face
15:33One of the two females have grabbed a screwdriver and threatened to stab the victim
15:38Whilst the other has emptied the victim's pocket
15:41Right I know from your reaction you don't agree with that
15:45My colleague there to your left is going to search you okay
15:50I don't mind searching people
15:52I see it as like a game of hide and seek
15:55Standby
15:56There's more money
15:58There's more
15:59260, 270
16:01How much do you think is in your leg?
16:03300 pounds
16:04You've got 300 pounds up your leg
16:06Of my trousers yeah
16:07How did you even get it up there?
16:09It just went like this
16:10All right that's all right
16:11Don't worry
16:12I'm such a great lover
16:14Because you've got stuff here within your clothing
16:18I'm going to all find a strip search
16:20All right
16:22Can you start with taking your top half off?
16:24Let's have a look
16:26Whoo
16:28People are creative
16:29Wait wait wait
16:30Don't do the bottom half yet
16:31The weirdest thing people hide is razor blades in their foreskin
16:37I used to know a female that's shoplifted all the time
16:40And she'd hide it up her vagina
16:43And then I found like whole foundations and everything in there
16:46It's rank
16:48What a thrill a minute
16:51Yes
16:52Have you got anything in there?
16:54We'll find it
16:58Whoo
16:59Right
17:01What are the odds?
17:02What are the odds?
17:03What are the odds?
17:05Should we cough?
17:06I'm definitely coughing
17:08I'm literally coughing
17:10I'm coughing
17:13I'm coughing
17:15Policing has turned into mother care
17:18Being older
17:19Walking around Westry
17:21Everyone just looks really young
17:22There are plenty of idiots rocking around
17:28I'll tell you what
17:29These people are really drunk already
17:31There's a lot of dumb people around already mate
17:32A lot of people
17:33Westry is rammed
17:35Sorry I didn't realise
17:37Did it go away mate?
17:39It's alcohol isn't it?
17:43People lose their mind
17:45You'd fill every sell-up
17:47With Westry alone
17:48You pack a shite
17:50Westry, Westry
17:51Westry
17:52Black shite
17:53Police, what's your emergency?

18:18So we got flagged by a taxi
18:20Yeah
18:21He kept trying to get in
18:22The taxi driver said no
18:23Okay
18:24And then he kept trying to get into every cab after that
18:25Yeah
18:26Actually physically
18:27Tearing open the doors
18:28And then having to be removed
18:29Yeah
18:30And then he went to jump into the cab
18:31And I thought he was going to go for the females in the car
18:33Because they were giving him the finger
18:34Yeah
18:35So I just put him on
18:36Okay

20:06I've definitely changed as a police officer
20:09Dealing with difficult situations
20:11It's matured me in several ways
20:12I think
20:13I can't let you have it
20:14Who's searched?
20:15There are many hands
20:18It's only the way we're over
20:20Enjoy
20:22When I was younger
20:23I didn't have much confidence
20:27I had issues at home out of my control
20:30I was just left to fend for myself
20:34I left school with one GCSE
20:37Never thought I'd be a police officer
20:39And I remember thinking
20:41Could I actually do it?
20:42Not having any credentials
20:44Or even an ounce of self-belief
20:48But just with a slight change of mindset
20:50Obviously made it through and did it
21:00Two hours to go
21:02Come on
21:04Everyone stay nice, calm, peaceful
21:07And we're all getting through this together
21:10Yeah
21:12A successful night shift to me
21:15Are you alright?
21:16Everyone's had their fun
21:18They've all had a little drink
21:19They've had a little dance
21:21And they've all managed to get home safely
21:23And off he goes
21:25Released into the wild
21:31As a police officer
21:32A big aspect is the safety of the public
21:35I would never want to see vulnerable people get hurt
21:38We've got a high risk missing person
21:48She has stated that she was coming down to Brighton
21:52To go to the cliffs
21:55And commit suicide
21:57Sorry, Romeo 102, have I...
21:59I believe she was at the top of the cliff
22:01If we can get eyes on
22:02I'm not sure if we can see the Coast Guard
22:05To assist
22:06That's all we're to thank you
22:09It's always a worry
22:10When a missing person
22:11Is known to be suicidal
22:14The commissioner's called
22:15And said that she has stated
22:18That she's arrived at her destination
22:20But hasn't stated where it is
22:22I just want to get a missing person as quick as I can
22:31So I can do the best job for them
22:34Try and talk them down from wherever they are
22:36And make sure they're safe
22:39We need to find them as quickly as possible
22:42Nothing
22:44No?
22:45No
22:46I can see all the way down
22:53Is there someone up there?
22:58I think so
22:59I think there might be someone up there
23:00She's got me at the top
23:06And it runs through your head
23:08What you're going to say
23:09And how you're going to react
23:10Once you find them
23:16Where are you?
23:19Can you come and speak to me?
23:20My name's Leigh-Anne
23:23Just a bit concerned for you
23:28Charlie Romeo 108
23:29I've got eyes on the female
23:31She is on the cliff edge shouting for me not to come over
23:35Can I get a few more units here?
23:39You never plan for that situation
23:41And no amount of training will ever prepare you
23:43For being at the top of a high building or cliff
23:47Can you... you want to step?
23:48Do you want to step away from the edge and we'll have a chat and a vape together?
23:54Look, focus on me
23:56Focus on what I'm saying
23:58I'm Leigh-Anne
23:59I'm a female officer
24:01I'm very nice
24:03It's important to stay calm
24:05Because if you're stressing about it or frantic
24:08It doesn't help the situation
24:10Yeah?
24:11Come back through here and we'll have a chat about it
24:14In that moment you say what comes to mind
24:18And the best thing is just to keep them talking
24:21And encourage them to come away from that high place
24:24Look, come towards me
24:26It's only me talking to you
24:28Come over here
24:29I'll roll you another fag if you want
24:32Listen, take my hand
24:34I just want to get you some help
24:40Alright, if we walk up
24:42I think there's a car somewhere
24:44I had to walk quite a while to find you
24:46I've definitely got my step count in tonight then
24:48It's always a nice feeling when that person gets off the edge
24:53Even if their mental health continues to be a struggle for them
24:58I've saved them in that one moment
25:00It's a massive sense of relief
25:04So I'm with a female
25:07She was located on the clifftops very close to the edge
25:10I've just managed to talk her away from it
25:13Is there any places of safety available?
25:15Because she said that she'll just come straight back to the clifftop
25:19And kill herself
25:21Okay
25:23So no place of safety will accept her
25:25Okay
25:29Oh, for God's sake
25:32The mental health system is in crisis
25:35And there's not a lot of help to go around
25:37And until you build dedicated, large-scale hospitals
25:42With mental health A and E's
25:45It's not going to change
25:48Chances are I'm about to section her
25:51The police are limited in what they can do
25:55But we can 136 people
25:57So that we keep an eye on that person for 24 hours until they're assessed
26:01I've spoken to everyone available
26:07And I don't want to have to detain you
26:11But at present it is 0125 and I have to detain you under the mental health fact
26:18So you're stuck with us
26:21All right?
26:23Have you got your seatbelt on?
26:25Thank you
26:29I don't think anyone will ever get comfortable
26:32With someone at height threatening to commit suicide
26:36It's not until after you're out of that situation
26:39That person's safe
26:40Then you get time to sort of breathe and think
26:43What did I just do?
26:44What are you trying to get to, mate?
26:46What's your first language?
26:48Paris
26:50Ah, you're French?
26:52Je m'appelle Philippe, et toi?
26:54Oh, I've been dumb
26:56That's all I know
26:58Au revoir, au revoir
27:00Au revoir
27:02Au revoir
27:04Au revoir
27:06Au revoir
27:08Au revoir
27:10Au revoir
27:12Au revoir
27:13Au revoir
27:14All right
27:15Thank you
27:16Good
27:17That shows I can speak a little bit of French
27:18That does
27:21Très bien
27:23Très bien
27:24Merci
27:26I'm like Paris in France, innit?
27:28Cross the pond, innit?
27:32People like banter and bit of humour
27:35Someone lick me
27:37What am I doing?
27:39This sounds really arrogant, doesn't it?
27:40You either have it or you haven't got it
27:43I look happy there, look? How happy I look?
27:44Oh!
27:46I wasn't born to be a police officer
27:48Before I was a copper, I was rocking it out in a band
27:54I was the lead guitarist and songwriter
27:57We did really well, I think for a local thing
28:00We were on Meridian Tonight News, actually
28:03Fred Dynage, he mentioned our band
28:06Ah, big names
28:07He's obviously got to be really tight as a band
28:12But we just fell out
28:14We're working, thank you, cheers
28:17The singer and I were getting a little bit tetchy
28:19I was getting fed up with it
28:21Over time, I thought, is there something better out there?
28:23So I applied for the police, got in
28:26Now I'm the police and I'm, you know, enjoying life
28:32I think it's really important, this job
28:34With the police, you're going to incidents that actually are extremely serious
28:38PHONE RINGS
28:41South 6 police, what's the emergency?
28:43I'm calling about an incident I just witnessed on Dike Road
28:46There was a white man hauled up
28:48And the guy got out and proceeded to pull a female out of the car
28:53And he threw her to the floor
28:55She didn't appear to have any underwear on or bottom half on
28:59Nothing at all
29:00But it looked to be quite violent
29:19A member of the public has seen a van dump a woman out of it
29:23She's got nothing on her lower half
29:25So we're quite concerned at the moment
29:27We are literally hunting people every single day
29:31That vehicle has just hit the camera
29:35Do you ever have a unit, they're going to head towards that location?
29:381-I-7 we are
29:40You're just trying to get as much information as you can do
29:43It can be frustrating
29:45But at the same time, I enjoy the challenge of trying to find that person
29:49Yeah, right one, that van has just increased now
29:5230 seconds to go
29:57Why is when you're looking for a certain vehicle you see loads of them?
30:00It's like a van central around here isn't it?
30:01Yeah it is
30:07The female's been located
30:09So we've got officers with her now
30:10Speaking with her
30:12They'll make sure she's okay, medically
30:14And she's not injured at all
30:16But ultimately now that she's been located
30:18We need to get the suspect
30:19Get him nicked
30:20And get him to custody
30:22But at the moment it's quite tricky to find out where we can be
30:25Bit of a needle in a haystack then
30:27For the moment it is, yeah
30:33I've been known to hunt for hours
30:35I'm like a dog with a bone, I'm like where's he gone?
30:38They can't have got away
30:40I'm having a look through Niche to see if I can find anything
30:44And what I've just realised is he lives on a boat
30:48I've got to get him, I can't lose him
30:49I can't lose him
30:51Right, that boat is north
30:53At that marina
30:55Quite stubborn that way
31:00It doesn't even bloody work, it's good
31:02It's good there isn't it?
31:04Well, right, well we're not getting in there then are we?
31:06No
31:08I'm trying to see if you can find it
31:09Charlie Romeo 106 on one
31:11I mean there's a lower fence there
31:13Because what I do is I don't want to climb this fence
31:14Because I know what will happen
31:16Right, you hold that
31:17I'll stack it
31:18You hold that
31:19You're younger than me
31:20Younger legs
31:21You can go over there
31:23Nearly
31:25You alright?
31:27That must be hurt
31:29Go on
31:31Oh
31:32This is mental
31:33It's dedication, Phil
31:36Dedication
31:37Safeguarding
31:38Definitely not your privacy, you're not safeguarding
31:40There you go
31:41Get your foot on that central wire
31:43You know what, I'm getting too old for this
31:45There you go
31:46I'm 40
31:47There you go
31:48Look at that
31:49See?
31:51Get your torch for some of the boat names
31:55It's not readily apparent, is it?
31:58I've come up to 14 years in the police
32:01You know, I've learnt over time
32:03That you've got to be tenacious
32:06Perseverance is important
32:08Hello?
32:10Can you open up please?
32:13Please?
32:14Can you jump out of the boat for us?
32:16This is your bike?
32:18Right, that is
32:20At this moment in time, I'm placing you under arrest, okay?
32:22Yes, for sure
32:24You're under arrest for domestic ABH and domestic common assault
32:27Okay?
32:30Have you ever been to Pasadena before?
32:31Of course I have
32:32I'm not squeaky clean
32:34Right, my colleague is just going to hold on to you, okay?
32:36We'll go to the car
32:39Don't you get in anyway
32:40Don't you get through the gates?
32:42I can't really explain to you
32:46We're all one team
32:48And we all have different skill sets that we bring to the table
32:51And when you finally get that person
32:52And arrest them
32:54That's a massive adrenaline rush for me
32:55I think that's brilliant
32:57Fence climbing
32:58Fence climbing
32:59Phil doesn't have that skill
33:01That was quite a loose structure for me
33:02Are you a bit on the fence about going over?
33:05Surrendous
33:13Right lads?
33:14Have you stolen a trolley?
33:17It was found outside our bar
33:19Theft by finding, a classic
33:21You walked straight into that crime to be fair
33:23He didn't steal it
33:24He didn't steal it
33:26Careful lads
33:29I would say I'm quite a fair officer
33:32After working in a prison
33:35I prefer seeing people out and about
33:37Rather than locked behind closed doors
33:39He just needs a glass at the pub
33:41What are you doing for?
33:42Fair game, my house is full of them
33:43I don't always need to be the authority figure
33:46We go to a lot of incidents where a crime hasn't actually been committed
33:50So I just need to have a conversation with another human being
33:53You've got a man down there, yeah? He's a bit drunk on the floor
34:03Yeah, he's a bit drunk on the floor
34:05No, he's just on the floor by the steps
34:07Yeah, yeah, yeah, thanks man
34:09Brighton's rough sleepers are very well known to the police
34:14So it's not often a new one arrives and surprises you
34:18So that gentleman over there, he just got out of the nick this morning
34:21Okay, do you know his name?
34:22No, and he's not out in Lewis
34:24So basically, he's never been to Brighton before
34:26So he's stuck
34:27So he's drank himself into oblivion
34:29I don't know
34:30Okay
34:34A lot of ex-offenders absolutely hate the police
34:37Are you alright?
34:38So I tend to just sort of have a chat
34:40And build some kind of rapport with them
34:43What's your name?
34:46Do you know it?
34:48Do you have any ID on you?
34:50Yeah
34:51Can I have a look?
34:55I've been in prison receptions where people are getting released
34:58And they get released with £40
34:59And you sort of think, well what's that person going to do with that?
35:02They're almost forced to be on the street
35:07Yeah
35:08No, they're cancelled today, aren't they?
35:13You're looking for a place to stay tonight, right?
35:16Is that the plan?
35:18There's a church down the road, we could take you down there
35:24You can't force people to do something they don't want to do
35:27Yeah, alright, we'll come back and check on you in a bit then, shall we?
35:30Okay
35:32Alright, bud
35:34But if I can build a good relationship
35:36And at least you're aware they're there
35:38You know sort of where they're rough sleeping
35:41You're kind of just acknowledging them, I guess
35:44Alright, bud, take it easy
35:49Prison isn't the nicest place on earth
35:51But if you're cold and outside with no food
35:54You're better off inside
35:56In prison it's warm, you get fed
36:00People talk to you
36:02So no wonder they come out and then re-offend
36:05It's just a vicious cycle
36:07John, what's your favourite snack that you like to eat during a night shift?
36:26I know what you're going to say, because we both like it
36:28One, two, three, scotch eggs
36:31I love a scotch egg
36:32We both like this
36:33We've had before
36:35Remember that time we had a platter on the
36:37Is that what those cars are great for?
36:39Platters
36:40Snacks?
36:41And a red ball
36:51Midnight up to maybe two or something
36:53It dies down slightly because everyone's in where they want to be
36:57But three to five is just a nightmare
37:02The clubs are all kicking out
37:04And you're dealing with everything that's falling out of the doors
37:07You've gone from not many people out
37:09To now thousands in a small area
37:12Any issues in the club, it gets settled outside
37:16And when you've got young people carrying weapons
37:20That's when it changes
37:21That's when it really goes wrong
37:24That's it, please, hello ambulance
37:27Hi, please, we request your attendance for an assault
37:30Patients are now in cardiac arrest
37:32Patients have been assaulted over the head with a crowbar
37:35There's a lacerations over the head and they're now not breathing
37:37Is that, seems not being done
37:39Yes, it's making your mail
37:40Yes, it's making your mail
37:48Jet Charlie 106, this update on level of injury
37:52It's five or six deep lacerations to the head
37:55Going in and out of consciousness
37:56Can you talk to us?
37:58Not in a very good way
38:00Stay awake, wait
38:02Stay awake
38:04Stay awake for me, yeah?
38:06One of them had a crowbar
38:08And they're running all over the street
38:09Fighting over here now
38:11And they've hit him with the crowbar about four times ahead
38:14Heard a shout, Luke's right
38:18I've seen a guy run to the car
38:19He's grabbed something that looked like a crowbar
38:21Yeah
38:23I think he would do it after that
38:25And they've driven off at speed
38:27Do you remember what make of the car it was?
38:29Yeah, it was a dark silver grey Mercedes
38:31When a big incident happens
38:34Your brain's literally just spinning
38:36There's been some sort of multiplication on West Street
38:39Whereby a vehicle, a dark Mercedes
38:42Has then made off southbound towards Seaman
38:47Every minute that goes past
38:49We're losing evidence
38:50So we chuck all the resources in
38:51To try and get the suspect located as quick as we can
38:54We're on Kingsway heading eastbound towards
38:57Palace clear roundabout
38:58Did you get the description of these?
39:01Subject is a white male
39:03Possibly in possession of a crowbar
39:05Everyone jumps on board
39:07There's a lot of adrenaline
39:08We've got fast time intel
39:09We've got fast time AMPR
39:11Vehicle work, subject work, CCTV
39:14It's game on
39:18I'm afraid it's a suspect vehicle
39:21Suspect seems to get into that vehicle
39:23Eyes open
39:25Silver mark, I think
39:28Have we got direction of travel or anything like that?
39:31Let's go down sea front shall we?
39:33One more four
39:35So far air search no trace of that such vehicle
39:37Oh
39:39No, oh that's close
39:41That is so close
39:43That would be nice of it
39:44It's a Merc as well
39:46Update on level of injury
39:48The paramedic
39:53The radio goes non-stop
39:54People are talking
39:55Have we tried this place?
39:56Have we tried that place?
39:57Did you hear his home address?
39:58Could he maybe head in that way?
40:00We'll go up there
40:02Thinking outside the box can help
40:05You can think of associates that he knows
40:08Scope it out
40:09We'll go to that address
40:10See if he might be there
40:11And sometimes that can be the case
40:14Tango is fine
40:15If you're in the position to do an area search
40:18Yes please
40:20In this job you've got to be curious
40:22It may be a long shot
40:23But it can pay off sometimes
40:28Yo
40:29Hello mate
40:32Hey
40:34Get down on the floor
40:36Get down on the floor now
40:37Get down on the floor
40:47Hey!
40:48Hey!
41:00Three alien mate, you're coming under arrest
41:01We're over suspicion of ABH
41:03Okay, calm there
41:04What are you doing, sir?
41:05What are you doing, sir?
41:06What are you doing, sir?
41:07What are you doing, sir?
41:08Come on for me
41:10Yeah, you've got blood on your hair
41:14We've gone past the RO address for this vehicle so far
41:18As we've gone past the building
41:19Some males have come out of the building quite quickly
41:22We have got one male detained
41:23He's got a cut to his left ear
41:24So he's been in some sort of altercation
41:26You can arrest someone on suspicion of something
41:33But you need hard evidence
41:35He was seen coming immediately from the address out the front door
41:39Could we 32 the address?
41:41The evidence is everything
41:43If you haven't got it, it's never going to go anywhere
41:46Yeah, it's section 32
41:47You're looking for the car keys
41:48You're looking for a crowbar
41:49Yeah
41:50It's up to us to find something
41:53Right, start with this
41:54Do you want to brace the bottom?
41:55Yeah
41:59Life completely down, mate
42:01You good?
42:02Yeah
42:04Nice
42:05Police!
42:08That one hit in
42:09Yeah
42:10Very nice
42:12Going in through a door was brilliant
42:14I think it's everything that you think it's going to be when you see it on TV
42:18Police!
42:19It's very loud, dynamic
42:22You almost forget what's on the other side
42:24Police!
42:25Police!
42:26Police!
42:27It can be really enjoyable
42:29Clear, clear
42:30Bathroom clear
42:32Take a picture of this, buddy
42:36Ah, this as well, look
42:38What?
42:39This old rag is covered in blood
42:41I've got a Mercedes key
42:43Mercedes car key
42:44Oh, nice
42:45Woohoo!
42:47Inside one of the jackets
42:48Morning
42:50So we've got the car key
42:52I'm just pressing the button just to see if
42:55Any indicators are flashing
42:57I'm not going to go far
43:06Oh!
43:10OK, yes
43:11There is a crowbar on the back seat
43:22That will be our weapon
43:29Finding the evidence that you thought might be there is brilliant
43:33So I just looked in the window and went, is that?
43:35And then opened the door and was like, oh, there it is
43:38You can suspect all you want
43:40But when you actually find it
43:42You think, actually, it's like we knew what we were doing
43:44Like the hunch was right
43:46Nice little job though
43:48Doesn't normally happen like this
43:50There's a vehicle located
43:52Crowbar on the back seat
43:53So just let you know
43:55Yeah
43:56Being in a band is a very, very different thing to being in the police
44:00But when the team works together really well
44:03It's massively satisfying
44:05Found my vocation in life, I think
44:06That's what it is
44:08Probably doing it for a long, long time
44:10Hopefully
44:12Songs come up
44:14Another day has started
44:17I did really enjoy working for the prison service
44:20But you sort of live and breathe policing
44:23The Lord's work, Pat
44:25Don't
44:27It's almost part of your personality
44:29That you never really knew was there
44:37I keep policing for loads of reasons
44:40But on reflection
44:42Growing up, the family setting wasn't working
44:45But as a police officer
44:47The team that you work with really does become a second family
44:51That's why I keep going
44:53That's why
44:58It's been two people
45:00Oh, trust me
45:02Can't see this guy
45:07I can't believe this
45:09I'm six year old
45:16You pack of swamps
45:17I will get in for him
45:26Your course was on the boat night
45:28Home I've said there's no head
45:29Only eight years later
45:31If you lose you
45:33Yeah.
45:35I want some people
45:37If you lose you
45:39You're welcome
45:40Go home
45:42You go home
45:43Oh my jeez, get out of here for me.
45:51Back up a little bit.
45:52You dumbass.
45:53I'm probably drunk.
45:54Yeah, you're absolutely hammered.
45:55He's too drunk to even tell me his name.
45:57How did you interpret gear?
45:59Co-pain.
46:00Okay.
46:01Somebody somewhere is missing their ten-year-old.
46:06We've just heard a female scream.
46:08Have never hurt anybody until tonight.
46:11What?
46:12One-one-three, hurry up please.
46:14I've got my colleague struggling with a female.
46:16Go, go!
46:18Oh my God, bro!
46:41Okay, let's go see ya!
46:43See ya, good!
