00:00It's gone straight through the red line.
00:03It's the damage of the dummy.
00:05Don't do that! Stay still!
00:08Derbyshire traffic cops.
00:10It does have warning markers for potential firearms.
00:14Don't have it! You're under arrest.
00:16Intent supply class of gear drug.
00:19Police a thousand square miles.
00:22It's a crash, crash.
00:24You've got any other injury other than your head?
00:27With some of the UK's most dangerous roads.
00:30Oh, no one's been killed out of this. I don't know.
00:33Do you know how fast you're going?
00:34It's scary when stuff like this happens.
00:36In life and death situations...
00:39Get on the ground, you'll be tainted!
00:41We've got runners.
00:42Place down!
00:45Yes, yes, successful steam.
00:49Around every corner...
00:50There's a great acting, mate.
00:53There's a new challenge for the traffic cops.
00:57They're part of the vehicle now!
01:00I'm going home!
01:00Stay led!
01:02Stop grabbing me like that!
01:06It's crash, crash, crash!
01:07Drop back now!
01:09Put it on the floor!
01:10Coming up...
01:11A revolver's been found.
01:13Traffic cops risking their safety.
01:15Remember a public's just come out of his house.
01:17He's holding a firearm.
01:20I don't want the rest of me for.
01:21Fighting alone.
01:22Don't get back in the vehicle.
01:23Don't get back in the vehicle.
01:25Don't get back in the vehicle.
01:25Don't get back in the vehicle.
01:26Don't lock that.
01:27As they tackle suspects...
01:29It's a crash, crash, crash.
01:32...single-handed.
01:33Taser!
01:34Taser that!
01:35Taser!
01:35Get on the floor!
01:37Get on the floor now!
01:38Get!
01:39Stop!
01:39Stop!
01:39Rominator, all Derbyshire units.
01:50Standby for observations.
01:51Would you mind creating an incident, please?
01:53Yes, go ahead.
01:54Incident location.
01:56Postcode.
01:57Yes, yes.
01:59PC Martin Carter is starting a shift
02:02and heading out on patrol.
02:05Are you monitoring?
02:06Yes, sir.
02:07All right, let's go.
02:08Martin is one of eight single-crewed officers
02:11covering the county's 1,000 square miles.
02:15Being a traffic cop and being single-crewed,
02:18you're always on your own,
02:18so you've never really got that immediate backup.
02:23There's always going to be an element of risk
02:24to being single-crewed.
02:26You're never really sure what you're going to be faced with,
02:29so there's always that apprehension of
02:31who am I going to be dealing with
02:32and what reception am I going to get?
02:35LA, Skatango 25.
02:36Contact to contact with that vehicle.
02:39As he patrols the suburbs of Derby,
02:41Martin spots a suspect car.
02:44I've run the vehicle through YBMW,
02:46allegedly being driven without insurance
02:48and without a valid MOT.
02:50From an A, the driver of this vehicle
02:52is showing to have no insurance.
02:53Morning.
02:58Morning.
02:59Morning.
03:00Your vehicle's showing it's got no insurance
03:01and an expired MOT.
03:03I know my expired MOT,
03:04but my insurance,
03:05they literally just run out now.
03:07So it's expired?
03:08Yeah, literally expired.
03:08So you've got no insurance
03:10and you shouldn't be driving anyway
03:11because you've not got an MOT.
03:12It's literally booked in for MOT.
03:14Well, unfortunately,
03:15you're not going to be driving this vehicle away
03:16because it's going to be seized under section 165
03:18with the road traffic act.
03:19Please.
03:22Come on.
03:25Look, come on.
03:26But you shouldn't be driving this car.
03:27Come on.
03:28I've been driving too long.
03:30I can't let you drive the vehicle
03:32if you're not insured.
03:32Come on.
03:33You must have a heart.
03:34I do,
03:35but unfortunately,
03:36my job is to do stuff like it's seized,
03:39uninsured,
03:39and vehicles without an MOT.
03:41I have a job to do,
03:42a delivery job.
03:43I'm going to lose my job.
03:44Why are you going to lose your job?
03:45Because I have to drive.
03:46If I get these put,
03:47I'll lose my license.
03:48Your vehicle's being seized under section 165
03:50of the road traffic act.
03:51Okay.
03:52You can take any.
03:53Yeah, I am seizing it.
03:55What?
03:58Any else can Tango 1-4?
04:01Section 165 recovery, please.
04:05You're also going to be reported
04:07because you've got a bolt tire as well.
04:09Bolt tire?
04:10You do not have to say anything,
04:12but it may harm your defense.
04:13If you do not mention,
04:14I won't question something
04:15to which you later line the court.
04:16Anything you do say,
04:17may be given evidence.
04:18Do you understand?
04:20I'm not bold.
04:21Okay?
04:21You are basically bold.
04:22I've shaved it.
04:24Don't tell me to shut up.
04:25You're being disrespectful.
04:28Personal insults,
04:29not an issue whatsoever.
04:30Take it with a pinch of salt.
04:31There's nothing.
04:32I've not been called
04:33as being a traffic cop
04:34with ginger hair
04:34that I've not heard before.
04:35I'm more bothered about
04:36the offenses you're committing
04:38and the lack of respect
04:39towards authority.
04:40What a nuisance.
04:43Trust me!
04:44The incident attracts
04:46the attention of a local resident.
04:48What are you doing?
04:50Put that down now!
04:52Tango 1-4,
04:53could you start getting
04:54firearms officers by location?
04:56A member of public
04:57has just come out of his house.
04:58He's holding a firearm.
04:59He's just made a threat
05:00towards the person
05:01that I'm dealing with.
05:02Yeah, that's received.
05:03My initial response is just
05:05what on earth are you doing?
05:07This can't really be
05:08a real pistol, can it?
05:09Surely.
05:10Surely someone's not
05:11pointing a gun
05:12at a policeman
05:13in broad daylight.
05:14Drop that now!
05:15Put it on the floor!
05:17Put it on the floor!
05:20Babe!
05:20Don't start.
05:22Babe!
05:22Occupants in possession
05:23of a firearm.
05:24We've got reports
05:25of the revolver.
05:26They've asked for ARV.
05:27Are you able to attend, please?
05:30Yes, sir.
05:31If you do ask for help,
05:33you know you're going
05:33to get it at some point.
05:34It's just how long
05:35it takes to get there.
05:36With firearms officers
05:37dispatched.
05:39Yeah, I'm shouting
05:40to Oscar Tango 1-3.
05:42Traffic cop Rich Morris
05:43is also racing
05:44to back up Martin.
05:47And then, can you also see
05:48if 1-3 needs anybody else
05:49to answer assist?
05:51Yes, sir.
05:51We work together
05:52as a close team
05:53and we know each other
05:54inside out
05:55and you can kind of tell
05:57by the tone
05:57of somebody's voice
05:58when they're in a bit of trouble.
06:03How are we supposed
06:07to get through this, then?
06:09Honestly.
06:14Tango 1-0 out of Stacey.
06:17As Rich
06:18and a firearms unit arrive...
06:20The chap that was
06:21waving the pistol around,
06:23he's chucked it back
06:23in his house.
06:24Yes, yes.
06:25Martin is trying
06:26to calm the man.
06:28You can't just pull out
06:29the gun
06:29and start making threats
06:30with you.
06:30It's an airsoft.
06:31How is members
06:32of the public supposed
06:32to know?
06:34I've been firing
06:35into that bunkit
06:36every single day
06:37and no one's making
06:38a comment.
06:39Right.
06:40The police shouldn't
06:40listen to you, then,
06:41shouldn't they?
06:41Yeah, I understand that.
06:42I was actually
06:43helping you out.
06:44You don't need to do it
06:45in that manner, do you?
06:47By pulling out a weapon.
06:49Firearms officers
06:50begin a search
06:50of the property.
06:52He claimed
06:52it's an airsoft pistol,
06:54but I've not examined
06:55it, obviously.
06:55Yes, yes.
06:57If someone's pointing
06:58a pistol at you,
06:59you're going to be
06:59in fear.
07:00You don't know
07:01whether it's a real
07:01gun or not, do you?
07:02Until it's been
07:03examined by an expert.
07:05It's that red and black
07:06thing.
07:06Yeah.
07:07I can't put this
07:08on the bench
07:08or the other.
07:11In total,
07:13three guns are found.
07:15It's the first time
07:16anyone's pulled
07:17a gun out on me.
07:18I don't know
07:18whether it's a viable
07:19firearm or whether
07:20he intends to use it
07:21against the female
07:22or the driver
07:23or even me.
07:24Professionally done.
07:28It's just a spring-loaded
07:30BB gun
07:31fires plastic
07:32forbearance.
07:34So, you know,
07:35it ain't going to
07:35cause anybody
07:36serious injuries.
07:37However,
07:37circumstances where
07:38it's threatening
07:39somebody in public
07:40place,
07:40it is a firearm.
07:41We'll get rid of it
07:43and we'll be dealt
07:44with.
07:45Currently under
07:46arrest on suspicion
07:47of being in
07:48possession of an
07:48imitation firearm
07:49with intent to cause
07:52immediate fear of
07:53violence to another
07:53person.
07:54Can I just
07:54do my wife?
07:56We'll tell her.
07:57No, she needs
07:58to know that.
07:58Don't start.
07:59Pulling away.
07:59Don't start.
08:00Stop pulling away,
08:01chap.
08:02She needs to know.
08:03What are you?
08:04Hey!
08:04Now!
08:09Stop shouting.
08:10What the hell
08:10has happened?
08:11Well, because I got
08:12my hair soft bar.
08:13We're not here to
08:14discuss what's
08:15happened.
08:15I'm sorry.
08:18We're entitled to
08:19your opinion,
08:20but it's not going to
08:20change what's
08:21happening.
08:30I've got another
08:31issue on here.
08:32This is mentioned.
08:34Put them tiles down.
08:35There's no need to be
08:36walking around with
08:37them, is there?
08:39Please put the tile
08:40down and we'll talk
08:41to you.
08:41We're going to get
08:41you some help.
08:44Listen to me.
08:45What would you
08:46think?
08:47I'm supposed to
08:47lose my temperata?
08:49No, you're not.
08:51Please put the tiles
08:52down.
08:53What will your
08:54husband be back?
08:55Your husband is
08:56going to be back
08:57later on.
08:57You're going to end
08:58up getting yourself in
08:59trouble and we don't
08:59want that.
09:00You seem like a good
09:01person.
09:02So please put that
09:03down.
09:04Listen.
09:10You're all right?
09:13Are you looking
09:14at all?
09:15We've managed to
09:16calm her down.
09:17It's been supported
09:18by the girl who lives
09:20next door.
09:21Yeah, that's lovely.
09:23All right.
09:23You take care.
09:24Bye.
09:25Bye.
09:25I think a partner
09:27who's been arrested
09:28has got mental health
09:29issues and we're
09:31going to make a
09:31referral.
09:32Fortunately, she has
09:33got a caring,
09:34compassionate neighbour
09:35and that's helped to
09:36resolve it.
09:37With the firearms
09:38incident over,
09:40attention finally turns
09:41back to the uninsured
09:42driver.
09:43It's really angry
09:44and I call it that.
09:45I don't mean what I
09:46said.
09:46What did you say?
09:48I called him
09:48baldy.
09:50He's not baldy.
09:52What's wrong with you?
09:54Come on, dude.
09:55What points would I get for the
09:56car?
09:56It would be like three.
09:57Yeah, it could be.
09:58I worked for
09:59to live in.
10:00Right.
10:00You've got through
10:04already?
10:04Yeah, I've got three.
10:05It's unlucky then for you
10:07but what can I say, dude?
10:09Look, you need to get
10:10your house in order.
10:11That car has to be
10:12100% safe.
10:13It is what it is
10:14and the recovery's
10:16here to take your car
10:16so can you do me a favour
10:18and get your stuff out
10:19that you need?
10:19Yeah, yeah.
10:22He's trying to keep
10:23working for his family.
10:24Unfortunately, due to
10:26his tire being less
10:27than 1.6mm
10:27and no insurance,
10:29he's going to accrue
10:31some points on his licence
10:32which may ban him
10:34from driving for a while.
10:36It's unfortunate
10:36and I have sympathy for him
10:38however, the rules
10:39of the road are
10:40that, you know,
10:41you've got to get
10:42your own house in order.
10:43With the car
10:44heading to the depot,
10:46Martin can resume
10:47his shift.
10:48It's the most
10:49bizarre, unusual
10:51scenario that I've
10:52ever been involved in
10:53as a traffic cop.
10:55They say expect
10:55the unexpected
10:56but no amount
10:57of preparation
10:58could prepare you
11:00for someone
11:00pointing a gun
11:01at you
11:01for essentially
11:02what appeared
11:03to be a routine
11:04traffic stop.
11:10Coming up...
11:10It's made off
11:11for speed.
11:12Speed's in excess
11:13of 9,500 miles an hour.
11:15Suspected thieves
11:16make a run for it.
11:18Put it into a head.
11:20It's only to stop.
11:22And a dangerous driver...
11:24Taser!
11:24Taser that!
11:25Taser!
11:26Threatens a lone officer.
11:28Get on the floor now!
11:42Officer Tango 1-5,
11:44go ahead of us.
11:45It's made off of speed.
11:46Speed's in excessive.
11:479,500 miles an hour.
11:49Yes, sir, receive.
11:52Put it into a head.
11:53I've run off into the fields.
11:56Near Derby, four suspected thieves are on the run
11:59after failing to stop for a lone officer.
12:02Tango 1-0 travelling.
12:05I'm about four minutes out.
12:08Traffic cop Rich Morris is on his way
12:09to assist colleague Dave Shaw search for the suspects.
12:14The car is closed.
12:16He's had a short pursuit with it.
12:18It's crashed.
12:19Four decamped from it, all wearing balaclavas.
12:23Baseball Cups have led into fields.
12:29Because you know you're on your own.
12:30You don't know how far away your nearest backup car is.
12:33There's three or four of them, and there's one of me.
12:35I've got to be a little bit careful.
12:38Dave's on his own up here,
12:39basically in the middle of a field, in the middle of nowhere.
12:42In the last year, single-crewed officers
12:44were over 50% more likely to suffer an injury
12:47than those in pairs.
12:50You OK, mate?
12:51Yeah, yeah, yeah, good.
12:51Right, where do you want me?
12:53Right, well, we've gone that way, over the fields,
12:56like diagonally across.
12:57Over that way.
12:59Right, I want to take this next right here, Dave.
13:01Yeah.
13:02While colleague Dave continues the search on foot,
13:05Rich begins circling the area.
13:08Nowhere are they going to be going home
13:10through all these fields.
13:11We know that for sure.
13:13We can't put the dog in the fields because there's cows in there,
13:19and that's just going to be carnage for everybody.
13:23It is very difficult trying to catch this type of criminal
13:25when they run off because they've run off into the dark.
13:28There's cover on the ground.
13:29There's bushes, trees from Tide.
13:31They tend to wear black clothing anyway all the time,
13:34so at the end of the day, we've got limited resources,
13:36pitch black, so it's very difficult.
13:40After 40 minutes, there's no sign of the suspects.
13:43Yeah, it's a bit bittersweet, really,
13:47because we've got the vehicle,
13:49but we haven't got the offenders.
13:53At the moment, there's a group going round,
13:55hotels and residential areas, car parks,
13:58looking for vans to target.
13:59They're cutting holes in the side,
14:01removing the items from within,
14:02and they've gone very, very quickly.
14:04There's hundreds and hundreds of pounds worth of stuff in here,
14:06drills, there's a speaker set,
14:08there's specialist equipment here,
14:11and quite a bit of it we've identified already has been stolen.
14:13Thanks.
14:14All right, do you?
14:15We've got the car, we've got all the stuff back.
14:17We're subject to a full forensic examination tomorrow.
14:21Hopefully come back with some names.
14:24There were occasions where we perhaps felt more vulnerable
14:27than we would have done had there been two of us in the vehicle.
14:31I remember the good old days where we were double-crewed every night,
14:35there was two of us in a traffic car.
14:37Some of those days are long gone.
14:43Dave is back on patrol.
14:47Oscar, Tango, one part, one came past that was showing no insurance.
14:54Appreciate it.
14:54His onboard computer alerts him to another suspect car.
15:00Just have a look at it for me.
15:02Yeah, patch details.
15:02I've put the blue lights on the police vehicle in the attempt to stop the car,
15:16and immediately he's failed to stop, and we're into a pursuit.
15:33From an O, we've got a vehicle failing to stop.
15:35Traffic has felt making the way into the area.
15:38I've seen the old DRI on the offside.
15:43Wrong side of the road.
15:45It's high-risk.
15:47Speed 8-0, London Road.
15:49Being single-crewed, I'm having to do the driving,
15:52I'm having to pass the commentary through to the control room,
15:55and I'm constantly having to make sure that, above all, it's safe
15:58and that nobody's being put in harm's way.
16:01This will stop.
16:03Got alongside it.
16:04White mail.
16:05All occupant.
16:06It's wanted to pull over.
16:07It's made off.
16:08Speed is 7-0.
16:10We've got a unit with Stinger able to make the way to the location.
16:14Yes, sir.
16:15Tango 3.
16:16I'm in a high-performance motor vehicle pursuit management trip.
16:20Fellow traffic cop Nick Rice heads towards the pursuit.
16:24We've got a unit with Stinger travelling towards the location now.
16:28We're just making our way to try and catch it.
16:31Catch up with it.
16:33Working single-crewed, it's quite dangerous if they don't want to stop.
16:37If you've then got a pursuit on your hands,
16:38you've got to think about bringing that pursuit to a safe conclusion,
16:41and you can't do that solely by yourself.
16:43With backup still several miles away...
16:47He's on the wrong side of the carriageway with speed 8-0.
16:51Dave's on his own again.
16:52So right, right, right through a red ATS.
16:56Straight over the roundabout.
16:57Speed is 7-5.
17:00It's heavy braking, stand by.
17:03And we've done a left, left, left.
17:06Here collision with an oncoming taxi.
17:09Speed increases to 6-5.
17:11Pursuing driver through the streets of Derby.
17:16On my own, it's not a nice place to be.
17:18I don't know who I'm pursuing.
17:19I don't know whether there's any weapons in the car.
17:22I may be required at a split second to stop the police car
17:25trying to get out and deal with you on my own.
17:28Speed 7-5.
17:30Get a 3-0.
17:31It's on the brakes, stand by.
17:36It's a crash, crash, crash.
17:38Stand by.
17:40With concerns for his safety,
17:42Dave draws his taser.
17:46Taser!
17:47I will taser you!
17:49Get on the floor now!
17:50Get on the floor!
17:51Taser!
17:52Taser now!
17:53Taser!
17:53The taser's fired.
17:55He's coming towards me.
17:56I'm running out of space.
17:57Get on the floor now!
17:59He's actively pulling at the wires,
18:01trying to pull the barbs out.
18:02It raises your alarm levels.
18:04Mail been traded!
18:07He's running, he's running the way, stand by.
18:10We've got units making the way.
18:12I've been assaulted in the past.
18:14Comes with the job, unfortunately.
18:17Running down the side of the train line.
18:20How do you wear it?
18:21White mail.
18:22Great trousers.
18:24Erm, dark jacket.
18:27White top.
18:28Probably mid-40s.
18:33Yeah, I've lost sight of him.
18:36He's on to the train line, Dave.
18:38He's gone round the back of the food factory.
18:40He's at the back of that, and he's gone left.
18:43More units have blocked off the other end of the footpath.
18:46From the traffic unit, just be aware if you find him.
18:50He has been tasered twice and it had no effect.
18:52He will fight.
18:53Yeah, no reason.
18:55One male detained.
18:57Ops unit, stand by for observations.
18:59Yeah, mate, I've got this bad for him.
19:00Officers have detained the suspect nearby.
19:03Located, next to the side of the bridge.
19:08That's the fella.
19:09Yeah, that's it.
19:10100%.
19:11Right, at the moment, you're under arrest.
19:13Alright.
19:13Because we think you can drive in a vehicle that's failed to stop.
19:17Ah!
19:18Deep breath.
19:18Keep going.
19:19So it's stopped.
19:20Keep going.
19:21Keep going.
19:21That's it.
19:22You're done.
19:24Marbles.
19:27Legal limit's 35.
19:29Telling me what you're going to get.
19:30You've scored 83.
19:31At the moment, you're also under arrest.
19:3385.
19:33Just shut up and listen.
19:34Alright.
19:35Listen.
19:35Yes.
19:3625.
19:37Alright.
19:37You're also under arrest.
19:39Just that boy.
19:40Listen.
19:41Alright.
19:42I know, this is.
19:43What's happened?
19:43At the moment.
19:44A little new arrest.
19:45You're driving whilst you're on.
19:47Okay.
19:47I'm serious.
19:48A little covered.
19:49I just told you.
19:51A lot of people just see the taser and they've had enough.
19:53And they don't want any more involvement with it.
19:56But it takes a very different individual to ignore the fact you've got one.
20:00And ignore the fact that you're prepared to use it.
20:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:04Five.
20:05He kept coming at me.
20:06And I tasered him twice.
20:07Didn't it?
20:07He didn't even blink.
20:09Yeah.
20:09I think it'd be fair to say that I was slightly shocked.
20:12He should have felt a very nasty sting.
20:14Because he's got 50,000 volts going through him.
20:17And that's considerably painful.
20:19He nailed it up the bus lane.
20:20Pulled alongside him at the search.
20:22And pulled alongside there.
20:22And he looked at me.
20:23He went, what me?
20:23I went, yeah.
20:24Just pull over there.
20:25And he just went.
20:27There are 110 assaults on police officers.
20:30Every day.
20:32You all right?
20:32Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
20:33Yeah.
20:34In a bit.
20:35All right, thanks.
20:37Working on your own.
20:38You are conscious of every vehicle that you stop.
20:41You're conscious of every person that you speak to.
20:43And you've always got to be on your guard.
20:46But we worked together as a team.
20:47And we ended up with the right result.
20:49Another selfish road user that's been taken off the road.
20:52Coming up.
20:57You're not going anywhere with this.
20:58It's been prohibited.
20:59That gluten's pure.
21:01Another officer.
21:03It's fine.
21:03Stop.
21:04It's fine.
21:04Stop.
21:05Alone and outnumbered.
21:08Squad units for Stinger.
21:09Please fail to stop onto the roundabout.
21:12Shedded a severe amount of its load.
21:14Speed is 110.
21:17There's a HGV in front of us now.
21:19And a high-speed pursuit with a burglary suspect.
21:23I believe this is a dead end.
21:25Comes to a crashing end.
21:26Catching criminals when single crewed relies on teamwork and tactics.
21:57It's literally heading back towards halfway.
22:01Near Sheffield, PC Nick Lovett and other road crime team officers are hunting for a suspect car linked to a spate of burglaries.
22:12We are single crewed, but we are affected because we are a team and we are allowed to hunt as a pack-up.
22:18It is a massive team effort.
22:21And if you've seen Oscar, I'm here, Victor, too.
22:23So I have.
22:24Yeah, I'm currently behind the vehicle because I've got a felt-stop marker on it.
22:28I'm in a high-performance or more vehicle pursuit management trained.
22:31I'm waiting for Oscar and Victor 1 to arrive.
22:35The intention is to cause the vehicle to start using preemptive tactics.
22:38So I'm directly behind the vehicle now.
22:41The vehicle initially slows, starts to pull over, but something at that point isn't right.
22:46And I just know that that vehicle is going to make off.
22:49Yeah, it's towards the police station.
22:51It's going.
22:51It's going.
22:51But I've come to a complete stop.
22:55We're already off.
22:57And I ask for a bit to do vehicle now.
22:59Failing stop.
22:59Failing stop.
23:01It's left, left, left.
23:03Pursuits are inherently dangerous by nature and they're not fun to places to be in.
23:08Especially if you are single crewed, I have got the driving to do.
23:12You've got to be aware of what the vehicle's doing, or the vehicles, or the members of the public.
23:16But also I've got to give commentary all the way through.
23:19It's currently High Street, High Street.
23:21Losing sight of it, losing sight of it, losing sight of it, speed 9-0, overtaking of the vehicle.
23:32Speed is now 8-0, unknown reason for failing to stop, weather conditions fine dry, visibility is clear, no other people on the road, no pedestrians.
23:45Speed now 1-0-0.
23:48Speed now 1-0-0-6, not far behind you.
23:51Speed now 1-0-3, making the way.
23:53Coming up to a crossroads.
23:57Lights have now changed to amber.
24:00And now to red.
24:02Stand by, stand by.
24:05The RA is now high through the reds, through the reds.
24:09We are now 8-0 in a 5-0.
24:12We're travelling at high speed on unlit country roads, cutting bends and not stopping at junctions.
24:17Going through traffic lights on red, the main issue for me was his manner of driving, his ability to keep that vehicle on the road and not go off the road injuring himself or any other passengers he got in that vehicle.
24:29Imps with 3-0 on the wrong side of the road.
24:32Speed 6-0 and a 3-0 into the 50s.
24:35We are now, we're on approach to the roundabout, heavy braking, standby, standby, and it's not one, not one, not two, not two, it's not three, not three, it's the fourth, the fourth.
24:52Can we get a Stinger header and ready please?
24:54Come on!
24:56We're travelling back towards the motorway and now I've got other Salkoo vehicles heading towards me.
25:01I also know I've got road policing assisting.
25:042-8 Stinger, connection, brand new road, 617.
25:07And I can hear on the radio of a setting up of a Stinger location, so that's good news.
25:13Speed is 1-1-0, entering the 30s, there's a HTV in front of us now.
25:20He's going for the overtake on the HTV.
25:24We are clear of the HTV.
25:26We are now left, left, left.
25:32I believe this is a dead end.
25:34The vehicle's not stopping and I know we're running out of room.
25:39There's a parking area right down at the bottom, so I think there's going to be a decamp.
25:56I am joined very quickly by road policing and local policing units.
26:09Don't do it, stop just short of the motorway.
26:11If you wash out anybody coming over the motorway, it carries you over.
26:14Yep, I do.
26:15Something roundabout there.
26:17Get here now, get here.
26:19Here, towards me now.
26:21Have you got cuffs?
26:22Yeah, thanks.
26:23The driver is detained within the woodland.
26:25Right, have you got anything on you that can hurt me or my colleague?
26:28Are you sure?
26:29I'm sure.
26:30Any drugs or anything like that?
26:32Right.
26:33Right, onto your side.
26:35Onto your fingers.
26:36Right, let's lift you up, guys.
26:37One, two, three, up.
26:44This lad is very lucky not to be seriously hurt or fatally injured.
26:49Three feet to the left is a tree.
26:51Had you taken off and landed and hit that tree before landing,
26:54we could have been looking at a very different outcome.
27:02On the search of the vehicle, we found lockpicking kit.
27:05And ultimately, this lad is involved in criminality.
27:08And he's willing to drive in a dangerous and reckless manner.
27:11So the fact that we've detained him, arrested him,
27:14and are now going to put him before the courts is a real result.
27:16Yeah, go on, pass details.
27:34I want several episodes of the unit.
27:36I've got a shed of a van, five up, overloaded.
27:39Yes, yes, we do.
27:40Premier, can the unit start making the way, please?
27:43Yes, yes.
27:44Ten miles south of Derby,
27:46traffic cop Rich Morris is responding to a call from a single crewed officer.
27:50The van has got a trailer overloaded,
27:54and it's shed a lot of its stuff all over the road.
27:57So we're going to go and just back up with this job.
28:00Loan officers reportedly face more pressure and stress
28:04than when double crewed.
28:07That is absolutely ridiculous.
28:09What?
28:10You've watched two on the roundabout,
28:12and then you've watched about six there.
28:15Sorry, boss.
28:16You're not going anywhere with this.
28:18It's been prohibited.
28:18That license is cured.
28:20Yeah, you've got your driver's license.
28:22No.
28:23See your date of birth?
28:25Uh, oh, God.
28:28What a weird dose of a night officer.
28:30Why'd you have to think about that?
28:33I'm dyslexic, eh.
28:36Further to last, it appears this vehicle is a possible cloned van.
28:40NAQ relay last.
28:42With a cloned vehicle, you don't know who the register keeper is.
28:45You really don't have a lot of intelligence to go on.
28:48All we know is that people clone cars
28:50so they can go out and commit crime.
28:53Show me a photo on your driver's license on here.
28:56If you're giving me duff details, I'll know.
28:58See, so it comes up for your driver's license, no trace.
29:02License?
29:03You're out of a license, do you?
29:05I do, I do.
29:06You've got no ID whatsoever?
29:07No ID.
29:09Shall I get you on my fingerprint device, then?
29:12Why are you putting it into gear?
29:15No.
29:15No one's ever got another unit, Quince Meagles.
29:19Two-eighths showing nearly there.
29:23It's failing to stop.
29:24It's failing to stop.
29:30McBann is failing to stop.
29:32High-performance suit management, TPAC.
29:35Advanced driver.
29:37Squad units, Ristinga, please.
29:39Failed to stop.
29:40Yes, sir.
29:40With a pursuit in progress, backup is still minutes away.
29:48What sort of weight size is this?
29:51It's a transit van, three and a half tonne.
29:54Speed is three nine, onto the roundabout,
29:57shedded a severe amount of its load.
30:00It's gone left, left, left, under the railway bridge.
30:04Received.
30:05Tango 1-0 travelling.
30:09I'm about four minutes out.
30:13It's got some of its load hanging over the near side.
30:16DRA is still low.
30:19Yeah, it's right, right, right.
30:22D-cam.
30:23Yeah, can we get M-pass, please?
30:39He's a D-cam.
30:40I've lost him.
30:44Received.
30:45The suspect driver has run off into grounds of a local school.
30:49Yeah, we've seen Tracer Dug, then, I mean.
30:54Yeah, bye, mate.
30:55I'm four minutes out.
30:57Yeah, coward, innit?
30:59But the four passengers are still in the van.
31:03Is it all next?
31:04Yeah, I know.
31:04It's all right.
31:05You might as all get out, because the vehicle's been seized.
31:08Yeah, it's a deck.
31:08I've got one gas to the van.
31:10Yeah, I'll use the van.
31:14Oi, all of you come here?
31:15I didn't say you could go.
31:17We're not.
31:19Well, I suspect this is supposed to be stolen at the minute.
31:21No, it's not stolen, isn't it?
31:22Well, I suspect it is.
31:23It's hard to say this van's stolen, lads.
31:27How does this work, then?
31:28Because I want to investigate where this has come from.
31:30All that stuff in there, the scrap.
31:32For what, mate?
31:33Feft.
31:34Feft?
31:35I'll do your checks on it, then.
31:36I will.
31:37With backup yet to arrive, the four passengers also decide to leap the scene.
31:43Working single crew, when it goes a bit wrong, or you need some support,
31:47it is a dangerous place to be a lot of the time, and it's difficult, it's challenging.
31:52Tango 1-0 on state seats.
31:54Minutes later, traffic cop Rich and the police dog arrive to help search for the driver.
31:59White male, really scruffy looking, skinny build, wearing like a blue tracksuit.
32:09He's gone there and then right, and I've lost him.
32:12Okay.
32:14We'll give it a go.
32:14He's run up here, mate.
32:16He's come round that bend and then come up here.
32:17But as I've come round the bend, I don't, he's just done this, so it makes me think he could be in these gardens here.
32:28They can manage to walk and run through all this without tortures.
32:33And here's us, stumbling over everything.
32:35We've got a drone up, right above us.
32:49Big grounds though, it's difficult.
32:55You say there's a heat signal to the other side of the fence?
32:58Yes, yeah.
33:00Got some on here.
33:01The drone has located a heat source.
33:08Stay there.
33:10Hang on.
33:14Stay there.
33:16The other week it was chickens.
33:18The heat source he finds is ridiculous.
33:22Yeah.
33:23Anything but a human.
33:26Unbelievable.
33:28They're not here now, mate, are they?
33:30With no sign of the driver.
33:33This vehicle shed a lot of its load, so it's going to need urgent recovery from highways, please.
33:40Officers turn their attention back to the van.
33:44Is it on its original plate?
33:46It checks it's on false plates and the van's been scraped off in the window.
33:51What a surprise.
33:52No insurance, no MOT.
33:53I'll put a prohibition on it as well.
33:55It's never going back on the road, mate, though, is it?
33:57No.
33:57Fair one.
33:58What a mess.
33:59Good stop there, that, mate.
34:01Cheers, mate.
34:04So it's had that number plate on it, covering that.
34:08It's a poor attempt at a clone.
34:10It wouldn't surprise me if all these are stolen.
34:13Scrap metal has a decent value nowadays.
34:16It's ridiculously overweight, not sheeted down.
34:19It's just a mess, isn't it?
34:21Look at the state of it.
34:22There's no fuel cap on it there.
34:29Cord exposed on this tyre.
34:30It's an absolute death trap.
34:33The vehicle will be seized.
34:37Unfortunately, we've not located him.
34:39So he lives to fight another day, but it's off the road.
34:42He's just going to be happy with that.
34:48Coming up.
34:49Of course, if you could give it a stop.
34:50A solo officer.
34:52Don't get back in the vehicle.
34:54Battles with a belligerent driver.
34:56Oh, no.
35:14Rominator, all Derbyshire units.
35:15Observations, please, for a vehicle that's been stolen.
35:18And it is hitting ANPR cameras.
35:21Hey, just confirm details of the vehicle again.
35:24Yeah, it's white-closed yesterday.
35:26On the M1, PC Andy Swift is responding to a police camera alert.
35:32I'll go towards in case there's any more hits.
35:34It's been a report of a stolen vehicle.
35:37It's been sighted in the Chesterfield area.
35:44Loan traffic officers like Andy rely on technology
35:48to help keep track of suspects on the move.
35:51For you, this new vehicle has hit ANPR.
35:53They have several tactical units close by.
35:56So, engage.
35:59Yeah, it's a contact, contact.
36:01Just behind it.
36:02Yes, thank you.
36:03As another officer spots the car, it speeds off.
36:07With a high chance of a pursuit, Andy's racing to provide backup.
36:19Come on, get out of the way.
36:20Get out of the way.
36:21Move.
36:22When you're on your own, you try and always back your colleagues up
36:25just so that you can at least try and mitigate any risk towards you.
36:29With Andy close by, the suspect pulls over.
36:33Yes, vehicle stop.
36:35Yes, vehicle stop.
36:44I'm behind you, Matt.
36:45I'm behind you, Matt.
36:46I'll put your phone down.
36:47Yeah.
36:49Yeah, for five, three, one now, do you think?
36:52What are you stopping me for?
36:53I don't want to...
36:54The vehicle yours?
36:57Yeah.
36:58I just bought it that long ago.
37:00When?
37:00Yesterday.
37:01Long time no see.
37:03Are you still disqualified?
37:04Yeah.
37:05Dealt with this lad hundreds of times.
37:07I think you'll find he's disqualified, I think.
37:09Yeah, certainly he's disqualified on the details on the log now.
37:13Yeah, is he?
37:14Oh, I know you.
37:15I remember you.
37:16What's going on?
37:17You're a year younger than me, aren't you?
37:18A year younger than me.
37:19A year younger than me.
37:20I remember you.
37:20Yeah.
37:21You know everyone.
37:22Yeah.
37:24How did you end up being a copter?
37:26Miss 14.
37:27Miss 14.
37:29With the stolen car recovered,
37:31and the suspect facing questioning in custody.
37:34He's here anyway.
37:35I'm not bothered, honestly.
37:36I'm not.
37:36I need this anyway.
37:37So I don't care.
37:41And he heads back on patrol.
37:44By his own admission, he wants to go back to prison,
37:47which shows you how broke he is.
37:50Dealt with him many, many times in my old life as a beat Bobby.
37:54Bit of a one-man crime wave is what he is,
37:56just to fund his drug habit.
37:57Yeah, that's all received.
38:10An hour later, Andy's tailing a suspicious van.
38:14It's just a vehicle.
38:16It's got a light out on the back,
38:17and it's got a front number plate missing as well.
38:21Yeah, it's registered.
38:22I'm sure it's held.
38:24There's no reports on it.
38:25I'm putting an order.
38:27Yeah, it's it.
38:29Aside from the absent number plate and a faulty light,
38:32everything else checks out.
38:35Definitely not that red light.
38:38But the driver runs a red light.
38:42Just want to see if you can give it a stop.
38:44All right, all right.
38:45Just have a word with the chap.
38:52You are on your own.
38:53You're always aware of that fact.
38:55No matter how good you are at your job,
38:56you always want to find yourself in a situation
38:58that would be easier with more people.
38:59That's just the nature of it.
39:04You just never know what you're going to come across.
39:06Hey, are you all right?
39:07Just stop you because you've got a light out on the back
39:09and you've got no front number plate.
39:10I'll come in, it's not right up front.
39:12Clugs.
39:13Clugs.
39:13All right, very good.
39:14You also went through a red light.
39:16That went red.
39:17Come and watch my video.
39:20Keys, you got keys for it?
39:25What are you?
39:25What are you pulling at?
39:27You ain't killing them out for.
39:29What?
39:29All I'm going to do is move you this thing.
39:31OK.
39:32And show you.
39:32All right, it's an old car.
39:34OK, right.
39:34Take your time.
39:36Don't get back in the vehicle.
39:38Don't.
39:40Get your arms off me.
39:41Get your arms off me.
39:43Look.
39:44All I'm going to do is move you this thing.
39:45OK.
39:46And show you.
39:48Company, can Eunice please start making the way immediate?
39:52With Andy struggling with the driver...
39:54Yes, sir.
39:55...colleague Chris Wells-Jackson is racing to provide backup.
39:58Put your hand out for us, please.
40:00Come on, Nick.
40:01Hand behind your back.
40:02Hand behind your back, please.
40:04I won't want you arrested me for.
40:07This time?
40:08Yes.
40:08You're under arrest.
40:09Go up now, Lord.
40:10Go up now, Lord.
40:12Go up now.
40:12Here's your phone.
40:16Can I ask a unit?
40:18I've got hold of the driver, and by that point, there are other units that are coming towards
40:22me.
40:22But you've got to focus on the fact that you are still with someone now who, even with
40:25a pair of ankles on, they can still cause issues for you, and you're on your own.
40:29So you've just got to be paramount in your own safety and deal with this person that's
40:33in front of you.
40:33As Chris arrives, Andy has managed to get the driver safely handcuffed.
40:41Come and sit in the back of my car.
40:44Sit in there.
40:50Should we watch this video?
40:52No.
40:52Good.
40:53Here we are anyway.
40:54What's your vehicle?
40:57That, my friend, is a red light.
41:00Isn't it?
41:01Yeah.
41:02Right.
41:02Power of video, eh?
41:04Yeah.
41:05I was wrong.
41:06You were right.
41:07And I apologise.
41:08Do you know there's a lesson to be learned from this?
41:10Yeah.
41:10What is it?
41:11Just be right with cops and be right with you, because I won't even have a ticket for the
41:13number plate.
41:14I do apologise.
41:15I didn't go for a red.
41:16If you're going to do me, do me.
41:18As we've come to an agreement, all we'll deal with your floor is red light.
41:20All right?
41:21You'll probably get a driver improvement, of course.
41:25There's no point.
41:25There's no fine.
41:26Stick the plate on.
41:27Get it stuck on.
41:28Yeah.
41:29Light on back.
41:30Stuck on.
41:32All right.
41:33Cheers.
41:34You have a good night.
41:35See you later.
41:35See you later.
41:36It's very bizarre.
41:37He doesn't feel that he was right to be stopped.
41:39I think that was his main issue.
41:41But he has admitted the error of his ways.
41:43It's just very unnerving when people are going to get back in their car.
41:46You don't know what they're doing.
41:47They've got the key.
41:48He's already been a bit up and down about it.
41:50So it's just, you're not sure what's happening.
41:53I think anyone that does our job and says they don't get scared, I would say he's probably
41:57not being totally truthful.
41:59It can go wrong so quickly.
42:01You just become very, very wary of what people can do and what they're capable of.
42:06Because sometimes people just get red mist.
42:09Research shows that the chances of an officer being assaulted increase by as much as 40%
42:15when they are working alone.
42:16I do think Rosa's policing is the most dangerous job in policing.
42:22We're single crewed all the time.
42:24Got to use the team.
42:26Use our tactics.
42:27Use our experience and knowledge to do it.
42:30It's a team sport.
42:31Policing is.
42:33In this episode.
42:35Put that down now.
42:37The man arrested with a replica gun.
42:39Remember a public's just come out of his house.
42:41He's holding the firearm.
42:42Was charged with possession of an imitation firearm.
42:45You can't just pull out the gun and start making threats with him.
42:48It's an airsoft.
42:49He received a 12 month conditional discharge.
42:52But you shouldn't be driving this car.
42:54The driver of the white BMW was reported on summons to court for no insurance, no MOT,
43:00and insufficient tyre tread.
43:02I'm not bald, okay?
43:03You are basically bald.
43:04You have no hair.
43:05I've shaved it.
43:06He was disqualified from driving and ordered to retake his test.
43:15The man who sped off from police.
43:17It's a crash, crash, crash.
43:19Was charged with failing to stop, dangerous driving and drink driving.
43:23Get on the floor now.
43:24Get on the floor.
43:26Taser.
43:26Taser now.
43:27Taser.
43:28He was sentenced to 12 months in prison and disqualified from driving for a year.
43:35Scary.
43:36Scary.
43:36The driver arrested for fail to stop and dangerous driving.
43:40I believe this is a dead end.
43:43Received a suspended sentence and was banned from the roads.
43:48It's fine to stop.
43:49It's fine to stop.
43:51The suspect thief who sped off from police.
43:54Decamped.
43:55And escaped on foot has not yet been identified.
43:59Inquiries are ongoing.
44:00Well, I suspect this is supposed to be stolen at the minute.
44:02No action was taken against any of the passengers.
44:05Get out of the way.
44:06Get out of the way.
44:07Move.
44:08The man arrested driving a stolen car.
44:10I was behind your back.
44:11All right.
44:11Put your phone down.
44:12Yeah.
44:13Was remanded in police custody.
44:15Oh, I know you.
44:16I remember you.
44:17All right.
44:17He pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified, no insurance and theft of a motor vehicle.
44:24He was sentenced to 24 weeks in prison.
44:26Don't get back in the vehicle.
44:28Just don't.
44:29And the driver who grappled with Andy Swift has been reported for running a red light
44:35and is awaiting prosecution.
