Ten thousand revellers pack Brighton's clubs and pubs every weekend, and as the sun goes down and the lights come up, the number of assaults, sexual violence, anti-social behaviour, drug-related incidents and hate crime goes through the roof – and for the Night Coppers of Brighton, policing this city after dark is one hell of a ride.

00:00I hope you've got a pair of gloves.
00:04Why?
00:06I love them on claret.
00:08You're doing the search. No, no, it's yours.
00:10No, you're doing the search. We're rock, paper, scissors.
00:12I'm not doing the search. No, because I always lose the rock, paper, scissors.
00:14You beat me last time.
00:16One, two, three, go.
00:18Oh.
00:20I won. It's about three, innit?
00:22One, two, three, go.
00:24One, two, three, go.
00:26One, two, three, go.
00:28Oh.
00:30You called it.
00:32I hate it.
00:34It's the perks of this job, isn't it?
00:36Blood, shit and piss.
00:38Everywhere, on everyone.
00:46Super, super, super.
00:48I'm on your butt!
00:50I'm on your butt!
00:52I'm on your butt!
00:54I'm on your butt!
00:56I'm on your butt!
00:58I can't be in the wall.
01:00I can't be in the wall.
01:02Get down on the floor now!
01:04I can't be in the wall.
01:06I can't be in the wall!
01:08Everyone's just so drunk.
01:22Yeah.
01:23And it's so early as well.
01:25Oh, no, she's stuck, dick.
01:27Welcome to Brighton.
01:29Yeah.
01:32In Brighton, every night seems to be the weekend.
01:38You're free to be whatever you want to be.
01:44You want red hair, pink hair.
01:46You can be quirky, you can be wild, you can be boisterous.
01:50It's crazy.
01:51Absolutely crazy sometimes.
01:53Nice.
01:54It's not the same, man.
01:56It can be challenging, but it also makes it exciting as well.
02:00Right.
02:01Right.
02:02Right.
02:03So it's always something similar.
02:08That's his place.
02:10What's your emergency?
02:11There's a massive force happening here.
02:12So I'm burning.
02:14Right.
02:14Here we go again.
02:15We have a male.
02:16He's been assaulted.
02:18He's got a head injury.
02:24What's happened, bud?
02:25I don't know.
02:26Someone came on my back and punched me.
02:28Someone's just jumped, so he doesn't know where it's come from, and they basically punch him
02:33in his nose, in his mouth.
02:35Have you been involved in whatever's going on?
02:37Don't look, I'm up here.
02:38Yeah.
02:39Have you looked at his knuckles?
02:40I've seen my eyes, don't look, I'm up here.
02:42He hasn't done anything.
02:43I guess he's been walking up there.
02:45I don't have a lot of blood on me anywhere.
02:47No, I don't.
02:47I will punch him up as well.
02:49Some guy's covered him by the cruising heart.
02:51Do you need him?
02:51Do you need him?
02:51Do you need him?
02:51Do you need him?
02:52Do you need him?
02:53Do you need him?
02:54Do you need him?
02:54No, don't try and be...
02:55No, no, no, no, no, listen to me, listen to me.
02:58The young guys, they're just too much to drink.
03:01They think they're Mr. Tough Guy, and this is what they do.
03:04Fuck, fuck, fuck!
03:06Calm yourself down.
03:07Getting into his faces, going gang, gang, gang, it's not about that.
03:11No, it is gang, gang.
03:11No, no, it's not, no, it's not.
03:13Talk to him, talk to him.
03:14That's not cool.
03:15I know, I know.
03:16If he thinks it's hard, he will know about it.
03:19Lightning threw me out, white jacket.
03:25Yes, you are!
03:28All in order, thank you.
03:32They got him?
03:36It looks like they got him.
03:37Just for the time being, all right?
03:39I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
03:44I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
03:49I am from London, growing up, life was hard.
03:52Just me and my mum, dad wasn't there.
03:56I could have easily gone down the wrong roads.
04:03On paper, I shouldn't have been in the gang.
04:05Get in there.
04:06It's just sad to see, when you see some of these kids are just throwing their life away,
04:10some of them, when they're mixed with the wrong crowd.
04:13Oh, boy.
04:16The problem is, is they're not just like pushing and travelling each other, they're like properly
04:20ABA-ing each other.
04:21At some point someone will burn a knife.
04:27Why is a young gentleman here with us?
04:29So, it's been alleged that this chap has been a part of a group causing issues in the town
04:33centre tonight.
04:34He's been arrested because he's been a part of a fight.
04:37I need to record your property.
04:38Is it in a shoe, was it?
04:47Yeah, it was in sole with his shoe, inside.
04:51The rules on the streets have now changed.
04:53The big problem is habitual knife carrying. It's definitely increasing in Brighton.
04:59I was one of the lucky ones. My mum stayed headstrong and made sure that I was in school, I had
05:06the church, I had the community raising me. So that kept me out of trouble.
05:11Now, there's none of that for the youngster at the moment. It's a shame.
05:18They're all just fighting for literally no reason.
05:21It's basically something they put in Burger King burgers.
05:24Yeah. Pickles.
05:26They sprinkled it on the fries.
05:35Oh, look at that.
05:36Oh, beautiful.
05:39Typical Fridays, Saturday in Brighton.
05:41People normally start off at bars, eight, nine o'clock.
05:46I don't mind policing at that time, because it's normally more fun.
05:51Drunk people aren't always the worst.
05:52What did you do before you were a police officer?
05:59I ran a charity shop.
06:01What is the weirdest thing someone's ever brought in?
06:05The bag of dildos.
06:07Potentially used. Suspicion that they had been used.
06:10And it was absolutely vile.
06:12Did you put a sign up in the shop after that?
06:14Yeah.
06:15Saying, we will not accept unwashed dildos.
06:17A lot of my family were in the police.
06:22My aunt, my uncle.
06:24And then my grandma and my grandpa were both police officers as well.
06:29I remember hearing about it all the time when I was a kid.
06:32But I always thought, oh, I couldn't do that.
06:35I could have been doing that.
06:36Police, what's your emergency?
06:37I work with the security company.
06:38We've got some blows.
06:39Criminal damage and assault.
06:40Oh, shit.
06:41What's happened then?
06:42They smashed the window.
06:43Oh, yeah, he's probably smashed it, yeah.
06:44He probably smashed it in.
06:45I told you.
06:46I told you.
06:47You're going to point your finger in my face, man.
06:49Don't be fucking for me.
06:50Bullshit.
06:51Shit.
06:52Shit!
06:53Shit.
06:54Shit.
06:55Shit.
06:56Shit!
06:57Shit!
06:58Shit!
06:59Shit!
07:00Shit!
07:01Shit!
07:02Shit!
07:03Shit!
07:04Shit!
07:07Shit!
07:08Shit!
07:09Shit!
07:10Shit!
07:11Shit!
07:12Shit!
07:13Shit!
07:14Shit!
07:15That was stupid wasn't it? That was so stupid here.
07:24You're under arrest, but it's so stupid.
07:26You don't have a sign of him, but it may be on the other side.
07:30You don't have a question, someone should be later in line.
07:33Alright, shall we get you sat in the van like a big boy?
07:36Let's get in the fucking van!
07:39Let's jump up, take a seat, and sort out.
07:42What's the point though? Because I haven't done anything.
07:45Can I open whips?
07:47He's pressing his eyes out.
07:49He's helping my colleague.
07:51You've been hitting their face, have you?
07:53And then he assaulted this gentleman here.
07:54He's also smashed the window.
07:56Where do we go from here? The police has to know about this, right?
08:00The police? Yeah.
08:01I'm the police. Okay.
08:03And my colleagues, who are also police, have just arrested him.
08:07He has been arrested for this.
08:09After the initial training, I had a tough time just understanding
08:14the role of a police officer and being confident in that role.
08:18It's the old ship hotel in Brighton.
08:21There's definitely moments where I feel out of my depth
08:24or thrown it at the deep end.
08:26Is he gonna come back here?
08:28Who? The guy?
08:29What guy? The guy that got...
08:31The guy that did this?
08:32He's in custody at the moment.
08:34Been taken to work? Yeah, he's been arrested.
08:36He's in custody.
08:39We are about three minutes away from custody.
08:42We're not gonna be long.
08:44And the more you move your arms around,
08:46the more uncomfortable we'll get.
08:48I'm going home.
08:49It's just these things are clung from my face.
08:51I couldn't get home.
08:52You're not going home.
08:53You're going to custody.
08:55That's where we're going.
08:57So that guy who's got arrested, he punched him.
09:00Yeah, yeah.
09:01He fucking hit me.
09:02Do you want to give me your details?
09:04Do you want to fuck?
09:05Okay, so you don't want to report any offences tonight?
09:07Yeah.
09:08You do?
09:09Yeah, of course I do.
09:10What's happened then?
09:11What's happened?
09:12I had a Pokemon card.
09:13Yep.
09:14Yep.
09:15It's like Pikachu, I'll choose you.
09:18Okay.
09:19Yeah?
09:20Okay.
09:21What's your name?
09:25Peter.
09:26Peter.
09:27Right.
09:28Leave them alone now.
09:29Go away.
09:30Leave them alone.
09:31Go away.
09:32Leave them alone.
09:33Go away.
09:34I don't think this is what I expected.
09:37I don't know what I expected though.
09:39But I don't think it was this.
09:41You had a good night?
09:42I was going to go out of the country.
09:43You're a long way from there.
09:45Amateurs?
09:46100%.
09:47It makes me think twice when I see everyone like this...
09:51It makes me think twice when I see everyone like this about going out and drinking in
10:13public.
10:14I do love a Guinness.
10:15Do you?
10:16Yeah, Guinness and Black.
10:17Have you had that before?
10:19I know of it.
10:20I would never drink a Guinness, so I have not had it.
10:23Red wine and Coke.
10:24That's nice.
10:25Yeah, red wine, red wine and Coke.
10:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:28I have heard that.
10:29Red wine and Coke is the one.
10:30I've tried it.
10:31And then I'd ruin it with some Coca-Cola with it.
10:34Fair with.
10:39Are you all right, mate?
10:41Are you all good?
10:43I was a bit concerned that was blood you just spit out your mouth.
10:47I was just a bit concerned.
10:48Oh, no.
10:49It's all right.
10:50Is it sick or is it blood?
10:51I'm just waiting for the bus.
10:52Oh, good.
10:53OK.
10:54And then I'll be on my toes.
10:56OK.
10:57Because you're not at the bus stop.
10:58You know that, right?
10:59I'm currently at a bin right now.
11:01That's a bin, not a bus stop.
11:08So I heard a rumour.
11:09What?
11:10That you used to be an actor.
11:11Yeah.
11:12That was me back in the day.
11:13Oh, my God.
11:14You look like a real actor.
11:15Oh, my God.
11:16Look at that.
11:17Look at that.
11:19Yeah.
11:20Back in the day.
11:21TV?
11:22Stage?
11:23TV, stage and film, yeah.
11:24The bill, believe it or not.
11:25How funny is that?
11:26EastEnders.
11:27Footballers Wives.
11:28Casualty.
11:29Oh, yeah.
11:30The classic soap.
11:31I probably wasn't alive for most of these.
11:34Has anyone ever recognised you on the street?
11:37In uniform, yes, when I first started.
11:41At first it was...
11:43Is that Ian Wright?
11:44Wearing police uniform.
11:51Sussex Police, what's your emergency?
11:53There's a male laying on the floor.
11:55Potentially some sort of ankle injury.
11:59Male attack.
12:04Take the next leg.
12:13What's up, bud?
12:14I've snapped my ankle.
12:15You snapped your ankle.
12:16Somebody did it to you, or...?
12:17We don't know who it was.
12:18That's all I can tell you.
12:19But, like, males?
12:20Females.
12:21All right.
12:22That's all I know.
12:23It happened so quickly and then they just ran.
12:25Did they take anything?
12:26No.
12:27So it's just a random attack?
12:28Yeah.
12:29Unfortunately, we're really struggling to work the details out
12:31because no-one seems to remember anything.
12:33I mean, potentially, the level of injury is going to be GBH level.
12:37You go to the shop to buy drinks and then you come out
12:39and you get attacked for no reason.
12:41The world we live in sometimes, I don't wonder.
12:42Slightly bizarre.
12:43Somebody here is...
12:44Someone didn't play the bumper at the ankle.
12:45It doesn't matter.
12:46Why have you come out?
12:47It doesn't matter.
12:48It doesn't matter.
12:49Why have you come out?
12:50You can't stop me recording.
12:51I'm recording for his safety.
12:52I'm recording for his safety.
12:53I'm recording for his safety.
12:54He's waiting for you.
12:55He's waiting for you.
12:56He's waiting for you.
12:57It doesn't matter.
12:58It doesn't matter.
12:59It doesn't matter.
13:00Why have you come out?
13:01He's waiting for you.
13:02I'm recording for his safety.
13:03I'm recording for his safety.
13:05He's waiting for you.
13:08That's a good thing, isn't it?
13:09We're treating the medical emergency at the moment.
13:11Don't care, mate.
13:12You can feel free to film.
13:13I'm saying thank you.
13:14Thank you very much.
13:15I'm free to record, aren't I?
13:18Yeah.
13:19I'm free to record or not.
13:21I'll give you free and pop.
13:22But then, there you go.
13:23She doesn't want you to call.
13:24Excuse me.
13:25She doesn't want you to call.
13:26Can't you do me a favour?
13:27Why do I ask?
13:28Darling.
13:29The starlet has recorded.
13:30I do appreciate why some people really despise the police I get it I've been
13:46there when I was in London I got stop searched wasn't a good one there was no
13:55grounds nothing explained to me when that happened I had a choice to either hate all
14:02police or join the police and build bridges I feel proud being a black police officer
14:13not saying I'm all singing almighty far from it but I'm doing something
14:25you know the kids that are running around with the big knives at the moment stopped one of them the
14:43other day he's just sort of turned around to me look me in the eyes just went fuck me you've got a big
14:49beak don't you drop me a bit that didn't know what to say back Christ I'll never wear my glasses again
14:57and I want to do an arrest attempt for a domestic suspect and they opened the door and went fuck
15:03it's Harry Potter I was like right no longer am I wearing glasses right come with our contacts here
15:11I do not have to say anything I think if I told the TH me that I was going to be a police officer he
15:29would probably laugh at me ironically had a bit of trouble with authority when I was younger I was
15:35homeschooled from the age of 14 because I ended up getting kicked out of school and I would always
15:41find myself getting into trouble my mum always said I'd be good as an emergency service person but
15:48my mum worries when she read stuff and you know the city that I police and some of the stuff that
15:54happens here she's like you know be careful
15:57Sussex police what's your emergency three guys came out of the car yeah
16:05rushed towards me they were forcing me into the back of the car kicked up me they were threatening to kill me
16:10three males forced him into the back of the car an axe and hammer and kept threatening to chop his arms off
16:23fucking hell he's well known for stealing motorbikes and making off from police drugs and weapons as well
16:38Romeo 119 just pulling up on sound you say they were armed yeah all arms all arms heavily they got me in the car
16:50I put duct tape over my mouth and said you better keep your mouth shut about this or I'll find you
16:54hunt you down murder your mum and everything else trying to almost like scare me into giving them
16:59information I'm still kind of shortcoming myself I did not expect it all
17:02did they drop you off down that road there I don't know this area that well
17:08because he doesn't know the area we need to take him to hopefully back the route that he's ran
17:16to try and find where he was dropped off to look at you know potential CCTV inquiries house to house
17:21that kind of thing which direction did you come from mate I came from this way from that way
17:27cool did you how far do you think you ran along this road I didn't run from this point on forward
17:34I ran through back roads you ran through back roads left here or the right here
17:40um left here do you remember this industrial estate the other side
17:45to be honest I won't take much notice
17:48oh no it's difficult mate
17:53it is really difficult
17:55is this ringing any bells do you recognize this road
17:59yeah maybe I turned maybe yeah I might have walked
18:03this is a dead end up here bud
18:05it's all right
18:07hello it's the police nothing to worry about
18:11we've had an incident potentially outside on the road
18:14um to do with a vehicle and a few other lads
18:17um have you seen and heard anything in the last sort of hour or so
18:21no his story's just I know it's all over the place
18:26I'm not getting anything out of him
18:29he's probably not as shaken up as I would be
18:32if I was shoved into the back of the car with people armed with machetes
18:34someone would have seen though surely
18:38three blokes with machetes bundling some kid into a car
18:41axes and hammers as well
18:42yeah and also he has a police curfew eight o'clock
18:49and he said to me earlier he went
18:51the thing I'm most concerned about is how I'm going to get home
18:54I mean
18:55is this is this him trying to
18:57I don't know
18:57make excuses as for why he's out past this curfew
19:00I don't know yeah
19:03it's difficult to put aside your suspicions when you've got prior knowledge of someone who's prolific as an offender
19:09it would be very easy to just turn up and be like you're not telling the truth
19:13but we can't do that we have to take every investigation seriously
19:18we're taking her back mate
19:19we are?
19:19mm-hmm
19:20why?
19:20because nights we've got no one
19:22great
19:24I've probably become a bit more cynical since being in police
19:33but sometimes I feel sorry for the people that we deal with
19:37especially when you're dealing with young people
19:40they've got into the wrong crowd got into drugs
19:42it's got to be hard for them
19:44it's going to drop this delightful male home
19:47honestly watching drunk people and their problems
20:02really puts things in perspective
20:06it's going to be
20:07I don't want to come and have a chat
20:11I don't
20:12I don't
20:13you all right there?
20:14you okay?
20:15yeah of course
20:16that's a bit random isn't it?
20:18do you know what?
20:19members of the public are normally the people that entertain us the most on shift
20:23so when you're driving by
20:25they do a little jig
20:27yeah
20:28all the shouts
20:29what's the worst verbals you've ever had?
20:31someone once said to me um
20:33oh you think you're all that because you've got your eyebrows done
20:36I was like
20:38what?

24:36that's not our job
24:38that is sad
24:39it pulls in your heartstrings a little bit more
24:45he is obviously quite lonely
24:46and it's really difficult to not get caught up in that because
24:50you don't want to come across rude
24:52you don't want to be a rude person to these people
24:54but sometimes you just have to be blunt
24:57he must have been just a bit lonely and needed a chat as well
25:00it's a bit early for that
25:11what?
25:12yeah
25:13it's supposed to be fair it's been pretty busy
25:14the whole night
25:17the constant the whole day
25:18yeah
25:19it goes quiet for the next hour
25:21the calm before the storm
25:22everyone's acting sober trying to get into the clubs
25:25just so you know I'm part of the GV Met
25:27and this is my best friend John

25:41I'm good
25:42do you know why we stopped you?
25:43go on
25:44you're a bit quick

25:58I quite like to catch a drunk driver to be fair
26:02and I really like catching drunk drivers
26:04I find it very satisfying
26:05you can normally tell
26:07you know the old glassy eyes and
26:10you can smell it
26:13you can run that car through
26:15what one?
26:16that one straight in front
26:17big old den in the back
26:18he's got a tail light out on the passenger side
26:21all it takes is just for us to spot
26:24something not right about your driving
26:26we will pull you over
26:30he does stop the traffic stops
26:32Dan doesn't stop doing traffic stops

26:43yeah no I do like his commitment to traffic stops
26:46William thank you mate
26:47get your lights done
26:48have a good night yeah?
26:49yeah mum
26:50he's fine

26:56we'll get one eventually
27:10it's nice
27:11everyone's in a good mood
27:12good spirits
27:16it's a shame
27:17some people have to ruin it though
27:18I have two to go down to walkabout
27:21to get a report from the victim
27:22for this sexual assault
27:23oh
27:25go get him
27:30see what's going on
27:31where's security?
27:35you guys made a report
27:36you kicked a male out
27:37that allegedly grabbed
27:38a female member of staff's bum
27:41oh yeah
27:42is it this lady here?
27:43yeah
27:46is there anything you want to report to us now?
27:47or if you did
27:48would you do it?
27:49I suppose
27:50the bouncers here are really good
27:52yeah
27:53so they obviously thought out
27:54and they got rid of it
27:56there's usually quite often lots of guys that do things like that unfortunately
28:00you shouldn't have to accept it
28:02to deal with it next day
28:03all right
28:04we'll leave you to work
28:05take care
28:06thank you
28:07thanks so much
28:09she just said
28:10oh it's just part and parcel
28:11that happens all the time
28:12and I just think
28:14yeah but it shouldn't
28:16we take things more seriously now I think
28:19if we're letting all these little things go
28:21the bigger picture is
28:23people do then
28:25commit sexual offences
28:27in a society that
28:29has almost validated them to do so
28:31that's exclusive emergency
28:32yeah I'm a doorman in Brighton on the street front
28:34I had a male outside my venue
28:36inappropriately touching himself
28:37and there are female customers
28:44so we've just been told
28:49there's a male
28:51that's draping himself in front of customers
28:55and so it begins
28:59we're currently searching for him
29:01down on the sea front somewhere
29:07there literally could be anywhere
29:14we just go to Tempest Bar and get details
29:21hiya
29:22we're looking for Josh
29:24he was standing out where that female is now
29:27we've actually got it on CCTV as well
29:29oh great
29:30he starts really like
29:32pumping his teeth a little bit
29:34yeah then he
29:35he starts properly going for it
29:37yeah
29:38he's using his hands isn't he
29:39he's doing that more and more and more and more
29:42and then
29:47I mean he's standing there
29:48touching his penis
29:51he must be getting some kind of
29:52thrill out of that
29:53because
29:54it's just not something you do
29:55Emily
29:59we're
30:00by where the van is
30:01he wasn't on the lower
30:02he was on the upper
30:03so it looks like we've got him
30:05we've had reports that a male
30:07matching your description
30:08he's been getting his penis out in the Tempest Bar
30:10so you've been touching yourself
30:12in front of females at Tempest Bar
30:14so at the moment you're under arrest for that offence
30:16I think violence against women and girls is really prevalent
30:33I've been victim of you know sexual offences previously
30:39some particularly worse ones when I was in my late teens
30:46what's your police out here bro
30:48what's your faith bro
30:50those sorts of comments
30:51it's a reminder of the vulnerable status that I have in society outside of that uniform
30:57and I think it's my least favourite part of the job
30:59oh love bruv I'm loving this
31:01I'm loving this
31:03let's just keep walking mate
31:05here's the dimples you are very very beautiful
31:07how old are you?
31:08I'm 18
31:09this lady is a very beautiful specimen

31:14alright let's go
31:16alright 310

31:20ah unbelievable
31:22just like so many weird jobs that we go to
31:32this boat was arrested
31:34I turned up after
31:35but everyone turned around and was like
31:37alright we gotta search from now
31:39before we get them up to custody
31:40and then all of a sudden
31:41everyone's faces just looked at me
31:43and I just remember
31:44what vomited mate
31:45patting off his legs
31:47the boat shit itself
31:48and it was sitting at the bottom of his like tracky bottoms
31:50just getting the puff of
31:54the puff of whatever was in his trousers into my face
32:02traffic police emergency
32:04I'm behind the car which is basically
32:08it looks like it's a crash at the front
32:10and it's still driving
32:11sitting in this bunker
32:12hanging off dragging along the floor
32:14they could be drunk
32:15so they're driving in the middle of the road
32:16there's not another Juliet Charlie
32:18in the vehicle weaving all over the road
32:20some bumper is still hanging off
32:22we'll go for that
32:23fucking hell
32:24that's what we want
32:31being a city where there is a lot of nightlife
32:33people will drive quite long distances
32:35after being drunk
32:37because they don't want to pay for transport or hotels
32:39we certainly come across it quite a lot
32:41oh my lord
32:45oh my lord
33:03hello
33:04she's done a little right by number on that
33:08hasn't she
33:09right she's got it
33:10unfortunately we haven't got her in the driving seat
33:11she was rummaging about in the back of the car at the time
33:13when we got here
33:16I mean it's absolutely destroyed
33:20a bit of teacup
33:21it'll be fine
33:22I mean all of this as well
33:24like the whole
33:25half the wheel arch is coming off
33:27oh what's this?
33:30a bottle of vodka in the back
33:35great
33:36deep breath
33:39and blow
33:40keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
33:45how much did she blow?
33:4619
33:4719
33:48so you've just provided a positive sample of breath okay
33:50have I?
33:51yeah you've blown 19
33:52ok
33:53so at the moment you're going to be under arrest
33:54for a trial and whatsoever
33:55the prescribed limit of alcohol
33:56you don't have to say anything
33:57but it may harm your defence
33:58if you do not mention one question
33:59so you later rely on in court
34:00anything you do say
34:01may be given evidence okay
34:02well I don't need to handcuff you do I?
34:03no
34:04no? good
34:05what we're going to do is
34:06we're going to go down to the station
34:07extreme
34:08well you've blown 90
34:10which is more than
34:12three times
34:13I don't know what
34:14I don't know what
34:15the limit
34:16it's a lot
34:17jump in the car for me
34:20just do us a favour while you're with us
34:21just get your hands out your pockets for me okay
34:23no
34:24thank you
34:25oh no
34:26I've never met you before
34:31then can you put your seatbelt on as well
34:35I'm a little bit concerned of the amount of damage that's on your car
34:38have you had a crash on the way here?
34:40no no
34:41I've always had an incident
34:43an incident
34:44where I'd reversed into a
34:47um
34:48I don't know about the weeks ago
34:50so it's been like that for a while hasn't it?
34:51so you haven't had an accident or anything on the way here?
34:53okay fine
34:56this is unfortunately how people die
34:58I've been arrested for driving my soda with a prescribed limit of alcohol
35:14you did?
35:15she was stopped
35:16she was breath tested
35:17I've always had
35:19a
35:20particular bugbear against
35:22drunk drivers
35:23scores on the doors now
35:2487 was the lowest
35:25oh
35:2687 and
35:2799
35:28the legal limit is 35
35:31one of my friends was killed by a drunk driver
35:35it was a lorry basically just ran him over because he was pissed
35:38if you do want anything just press the intercom button on here alright?
35:44it's just a completely senseless way for someone to die
35:49so yeah I mean I guess yeah
35:51if you've got particular experience in your personal life
35:53it's probably going to reflect in your policing
35:56she's off the road
35:57and hopefully the justice system will remove our license
36:00so she won't be driving anymore
36:01it's around 4am when the clubs start kicking out and that's when things normally go wrong
36:22that's when all the drunk people are unsupervised by club staff and start fighting each other
36:28suck a dirty mum!
36:31suck a dirty mum!
36:33Dan if you weren't a police officer what do you think you'd be doing?
36:36probably
36:37gone back to the building trade
36:39what did you do on the old building site?
36:41plaster it
36:42all the similarities to plastering and policing
36:46throw shit at something to see with sticks
36:58hello? hello you're through to Sussex Police how can I help?
37:01we've got a construction site in Brighton which has got a couple of people that have broken into it
37:07breaking progress
37:14there could be builders but it's 4am so I highly doubt they're going to be builders
37:19sites have got quite valuable tools in them
37:21so they might be looking for that
37:24or anything else valuable
37:26do you have Charlie 106 on scene now?
37:30description from Victor
37:35is it one male wearing all black and one wearing a white hoodie?
37:39yes, yes I am
37:40but they've apparently scaled that haven't they?
37:42the only way in is climbing over
37:45building sites are quite a dangerous place to be anyway
37:47and a lot of them are filled with like hidden shafts hidden and levator shafts and stuff like that
37:51not great
37:52but it's not safe in there if they're in there we need to get them out
37:58don't slosh yourself up
38:02we get all dirty
38:08I'm going as well
38:13I'm quite happy I fit through that though
38:14I don't think I would
38:15I've been going on the diet
38:17yeah
38:18yeah I can't even see them from here but apparently they've got them on our cameras
38:26they're currently sat in the cab of the crane lighting a cigarette
38:29looking down at the officers
38:32camera in the cab of the crane
38:35honestly sorry was that in the... they're in the crane?
38:37right at the top
38:38fantastic
38:39oh Christ, they're up there
38:41they are most likely urban explorers
38:44they can't make a chance to see where we can get to the bottom of the crane
38:47they can put them under trespassing
38:49which is a civil offence
38:50they'll be gathering details from them
38:53I'll try and get their attention
38:54police! come down from the crane!
38:58I don't know how they got the guts to go up there
39:00I know, yeah
39:01mate
39:02it's pretty high
39:03it's pretty high
39:04it's disgustingly high isn't it
39:07I've got a karaoke machine with a couple of microphones at home I can pop over and get
39:12make it do a bit
39:13try it out
39:15it's even got a pulsating light
39:18Morse code
39:19I don't know
39:20yes
39:21if you come down now
39:22will you not be arrested?
39:25we are trying to engage with the males now
39:27that don't seem to be coming down
39:30ever-arging aim
39:31obviously will be to ensure the welfare of those subjects
39:34unconcerned with them
39:36officer attendants
39:37they may become distressed
39:39for themselves at risk
39:41but if we can step back officers and see
39:43191 or any officer
39:44what's previous Charlie? 191
39:46if we're there
39:47and they feel under pressure
39:49they might
39:50do something silly
39:51so all we want to do is remove that pressure from them
39:54let them come down with their own accord
39:56and we can intercept them then
39:58we wait
39:59it's a shtegout
40:12it's been absolutely manic
40:13yeah it's been a bit mental
40:16comms 124

41:30you think what am I doing?
41:31it doesn't make any sense to me still
41:33why I enjoy this job
41:34but I enjoy it
41:36this is one of those situations though
41:37where he's telling us he's been hit by a car
41:40I mean his injuries were kind of consistent
41:42with maybe being hit by a car
41:44but I was thinking they're also kind of consistent with just falling on your face so
41:53we'll do some cease to the enquiries
41:59here he is
42:01he's so young
42:03he's so young
42:06124 yeah I found him on Hotel Victor
42:08he's not hit by a car on Ditchling Road
42:10he was just simply running
42:11he's gone into Francis Street
42:13and given that
42:14I found him with his trousers around his ankles
42:16I'm guessing he's fallen over
42:17because his trousers fell down
42:20at least we've reached the bottom of it
42:23right
42:25gravity is the suspect in this one
42:27he's still up there
42:40they're just sitting looking at the view probably
42:43what are you eating?
42:44what's it?
42:46why is that what's it really long?
42:47look at the size of the hat
42:50look at the size of the hat
42:54I've never seen a what's it that big before
