00:03this boy is no longer just a witness but a key person of interest hello my name is Malcolm Davis
00:11I'm a former police officer I was in the Metropolitan Police for 30 years my last
00:15five years was a detective inspector managing high-risk co-op operations I'm here to break
00:19down some of the best British police dramas on Britbox anything you do say may be given in
00:25evidence happy Valley series one two detectives have turned up and they're going to arrest this
00:29man for blackmail and abduction I'm arresting you on suspicion of abduction and demanding money with
00:35menaces these are serious offenses so you have to give as much detail as you can when arresting
00:40someone otherwise all sorts of issues arise I think glitz and glamour you'll think so mid summer murders
00:46a firm favorite on Britbox there's a uniform officer on the door and basically he should be taking
00:51details of anybody entering that scene and at the moment is about as much use as a chocolate teapot
00:56so these two officers have walked into a murder scene wearing no protective clothing so they could
01:01be treading in contamination and also don't put the cord and tape around the bush there's no need for
01:06it it's a waste it costs money can you ask them to show their left profiles please so what you're
01:10dealing with here is an ID parade in the 1990s you wouldn't have the luxury of a glass screen you
01:17see
01:17I'm not sure but you also be running around the streets trying to find people to actually stand
01:22on the ID parade the gun we recovered is a Glock semi-automatic an area has been sealed off because
01:29intelligence shows that a piece of evidence may have been disposed of this officer here has found
01:35a plastic bag containing a handgun in a bin Manning now has his briefing where he talks about the striations
01:41on the on the bullet that the striations on the bullets recovered from Stephen Marshbrook's body
01:46are a match that means is as the bullet revolves down the chamber it creates almost like a fingerprinting
01:52well done the police advisors on that one but we will keep questioning it shows a forensic officers
01:59going in and coming out of a house it also shows the media outside ringing a police officer
02:08now the thing with this is nine out of ten times the custody officer will be too busy to answer
02:12the
02:12phone the other thing about the media is depending upon the scene and the interest in it the media
02:17could be on on scene within 30 minutes at the very least what you're seeing here specialist firearms
02:25officers are riding a barn and these flashbangs they call surprise and confusion and thereby allowing
02:34the swift entry of these guys all these people would be in plastic cuffs they'd be on the floor
02:40and so things like that where Ben Crook was spat in the face she wouldn't have even been anywhere near
02:45that right okay stand by so you've heard my thoughts on these top British police dramas and
02:50now it's time for you to enjoy them
