999: What's Your Emergency?

999: What's Your Emergency? follows members of emergency services throughout Britain as they work together to tackle crime and disorder, providing insight through the eyes of the police, fire, and ambulance services using a mixture of fly-on-the-wall footage taken at incidents and retrospective interviews with the people and staff featured.

With rig technology inside the emergency vehicles to call centres to multiple crews on the ground 24/7, the series captures in a unique way the issues that face Britain today, from the emergence of new drugs and the despair of domestic violence to the way we parent our children and those who slip through society's safety net.

Custody

Situations in Northamptonshire when people are taken into police custody. The rising number of first-time offenders in custody often leaving resources are stretched to breaking point, given that there are only 62 custody cells to cater for a population of 700,000 people. A 60-year-old drunk driver is brought in for her first offence, and detention officer Perry Chaplin has to deal with a detainee who has stripped naked.
