Police: Night Shift 999 airs on TV focussing on Gloucestershire Police
The second series starts tonight (Monday 12 December) on Channel 5 at 9pm
The second series of Police: Night Shift 999 starts tonight (Monday 12 December), which is focussed solely on Gloucestershire Constabulary.
Our local force say it sums up the unpredictability and danger of police work after dark, and the highs and lows.
The prime time documentary airs at 9pm on Channel 5, and runs for eight episodes.
It is a fly-on-the-wall style show, which covers officers and staff from a range of departments responding to incidents through the night, including burglaries, thefts and violence.
Road-related offences, such as drink and drug driving, also feature.
The Constabulary say that while the county is one of the safest in the country, they hope residents will sleep even more soundly knowing how officers are striving to keep them safe.
External Communications Manager Chris Jackson said: "Each episode in the first series was watched by more than a million people and that represents a huge opportunity for us to demonstrate the sort of hard work that has traditionally been very hard to get across.
"The series highlights the level of dedication, commitment and skill there is across the Force in responding to a wide array of incidents.
"Officers are shown having to make rapid risk assessments and taking quick, decisive action in many of the cases but I think people will also be pleased to see the softer skills on display and the more human side of our officers.
"I hope the series will help our communities understand more about the difficulties faced by our staff and perhaps encourage more people with the right skills to consider applying to join us."
Police Night Shift 999 is a Crackit Productions production for Channel 5.
