Episode 4
Long-serving and newly qualified officers of Northumbria Police respond to the changing world of modern crime, including managing online sex offenders and the threat of firearms.
This episode follows Northumbria Police as they tackle evolving modern crimes in an ever-changing world, including child trafficking and the downloading of indecent images of children, and the effect investigating these cases has on the officers themselves - from seasoned detectives to new response officers.
Long-serving detective Julie Milne has worked for Northumbria Police for 23 years. It鈥檚 a different world to when she joined and had to wear a skirt and carry a 'lady鈥檚' truncheon. She now works in the Complex Cases Unit, investigating some of the most challenging cases across the force. As Julie arrests a suspect in a historic case of child trafficking, she works with the specialist marines search team to identify evidence that corroborates the harrowing testimony of the victims.
Meanwhile, reports have come in of a man seen with a gun at a college, and it is tactical commander Andy Huddleston鈥檚 job to arrest the suspect and recover the firearm. Andy orders the Firearm Support Unit to carry out a dawn raid to minimise the risk to the public.
Elsewhere, 21-year-old Rosie, who originally trained to become an accountant before following both her parents into the police, is seeing first-hand the reality of responding to 999 calls on the streets, including the rising number of mental health related calls. Qualified for just a month, she deals with a caller with severe mental health issues and the shaken victim of a drive-by shooting.
Elsewhere in the force, detectives in the rural north are playing a cat-and-mouse game with men suspected of stealing a quad bike from a remote farm.
