BBC - The Met Policing London - Series 1 (2015) Part 2

A TV series created by the Open University and the BBC provides a unique insight into Britain's busiest police force, the Met. “The Met Policing London” is a five-part prime-time BBC One documentary series that follows officers from Britain's biggest and busiest police service as it tackles with drug dealing, violence, and its victims, all across the capital. Over 2,000 officers have joined the ranks of the Metropolitan police since 2014, tasked with ensuring the streets of London are safe for its 8 million residents, 24 hours a day. This five-part series explores the highs and lows of one of the toughest jobs in Britain. The series is the first ever to gain top to bottom access to the Metropolitan Police Service – and BBC Studios was granted extraordinary access to film the organisation, showing the public the work of the Met in a way never seen before. The first series covers everything from homicide to firearms, burglaries to gang warfare and filmed with everyone from the Commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe to the new recruits on their first day on the beat. Broadcasting on BBC One, the series was a ratings smash and a critical hit. It was a series that attracted considerable attention from the beginning of its run and was swiftly re-commissioned for a second series, aired in May 2017.

Part 2

Episode two shadows Brixton CID and the policing of Notting Hill Carnival, one of the biggest operations for the force. A quiet after work drink ends in tragedy when a 34-year-old father is mistaken for another man and stabbed to death outside a pub in central London. With little evidence to go on, murder detective John Sandlin hopes that CCTV will give him the vital answers he needs to bring the killers to justice. In Brixton, CID officer Tracey Miller is on the hunt for a very particular sex offender who has been targeting Muslim women in the area. With only a photo of the man and no name, it’s a race against time to catch the attacker before he strikes again. Notting Hill Carnival is one of the biggest street parties in the world and the biggest event in the Metropolitan Police’s calendar. With 14 thousand cops on duty over the party weekend, at a cost of 7 million pounds, the pressure is on for the officers to balance the carnival spirit with keeping the public safe.
