Episode 1

Two-part documentary series following South Wales Police. A drug officer who knows everyone on his patch in Merthyr Tydfil uses his local knowledge to identify three robbers.

Documentary series filmed with South Wales Police, where everyone knows everyone and cops and robbers are on first-name terms. As Ryan the custody officer says, 'Sometimes I get members of my extended family coming in. It can be a bit awkward'. In this episode, drugs cop 'Rhino', who knows everyone on his patch in Merthyr Tydfil, is dealing with a big case. When three lads rob a post office in a quiet village 15 miles away, it's down to him to identify the culprits using his local knowledge. On the Gurnos Estate, response officer Louise is given the runaround by Julian 'Little Juggy' Jones, a 24-year-old lad who's been arrested almost 50 times and is not being entirely straight with his story. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Valley boy Jordan has spent most of the year in Cardiff and Swansea prisons, but when he's given a place on a new police rehab scheme, he can see a glimpse of a better future - if he can stay off drugs and keep out of trouble.
