UPCOMING EPISODES

Across the world, policing has key characteristics: find criminal, catch criminal, arrest criminal. But the reality of each case can be scary and dangerous, as most criminals have no intention of being brought to justice. In Grand Rapids, USA, we have exclusive access to the police officers involved in the manhunt and capture of a dangerous and desperate felon. He breaks free from a stun gun and hides from officers on a building site. Finally, he makes a break for freedom and attacks an officer. In the UK police are taken by surprise by a man and his Samurai sword. An officer is stabbed and it’s a race to the hospital to save his life. In the sleepy town of Glendale - one of the safest places in America - an officer on a routine call is suddenly faced with a man intent on killing. Shots are fired as the cop is forced into oncoming traffic with the crazed knifeman in pursuit. While in Brazil we interview the dog handler who single-handedly tracked down two armed robbers who tried to escape arrest in the jungle.

Policing is one of the toughest careers on Earth and sometimes even the most earnest of cops get it wrong. When they do the ramifications are massive. Their actions can taint every officer on the force and change lives for ever. Some crimes are so violent and so personally motivated that every cop involved and person affected will never forget the events. We have access to cops in South Euclid, USA, who chase down a wanted man, corner him in Lake Eerie and bring him down. Only then do they learn how dangerous and murderous he really is. In Sao Paulo, Brazil, we have the moment a gang of kidnappers are brought down by flash police raids. One of the most prolific cities in the world for kidnapping, cops here are experts at tracking these criminals down, but every raid is dangerous. In Savannah, USA, cops get it wrong, very wrong. This time police body cameras act as the gatekeeper. Proving the action of officers to be wrong and saving an innocent man from going to jail for no justifiable reason. In South Africa motorbike cops never give up. We have amazing footage of a chase through a township with the officer firing at the gang’s car and finally bringing it to a halt, all on his own!

Front-line cops across the world have to deal with criminals they are trying to arrest, attempting to use deadly force in a bid to escape. For this reason, police forces often arm their officers. It’s a recipe for bloodshed, but when a criminal is prepared to shoot first, the cops have to make sure they never shoot again. In South Carolina, a cop is shot at point blank range. His capture glasses record everything as he fights for his life and ordinary members of the American public come to his rescue. In Spain the police have a not-so-secret-weapon, The Gangster Catcher of Europe. She is not only determined to bring every criminal to justice, she is also good at her job, very good. We have an exclusive interview with her and the moment one of her most high-profile cases is cracked, as she tracks down a dangerous British fugitive who escaped from a UK court and went on the run in Spain for years. In Clovis, New Mexico a cop is faced with a strange traffic stop. A man on a bike, riding at night with no lights. Everything is going well, until the man flees. The officer chases him down and takes a bullet for his efforts. Not every incident police are called to involves a criminal. In Charlotte, Michigan, police are called to a house fire. A family are stuck inside and the brave cops have to get everyone out before the place erupts in flames.
