Inside The Force: 24/7 S3
Based inside Middlesbrough Police station, the biggest and busiest in Cleveland, this series goes behind the station doors from where everything is run. It’s home to over 500 police officers who look after a town with the highest crime rates in the country. From the custody suites and the over stretched response officers, to the detectives and dispatchers in Force Control, Inside The Force 24/7 takes an unflinching look at the realities of modern-day policing. The series follows the different layers of the Force as in-the-moment decisions are made and the police react to everything from drive-by shootings and attempted murders, to drug dealing and mass street brawls.
