Armed and Deadly: Police UK
Britain's Armed Police Officers are busier than ever. Last year, they carried out more than 16,000 operations across England & Wales, that's one every 30 minutes.
Manhunt
We visit rural Northumbria and learn how 160 officers were used to track down and contain killer Raoul Moat in one of the largest manhunts on UK soil. And we examine recent attacks in London.
Under Siege
When an armed individual takes shelter and refuses to comply, it's up to specialist police officers to use a combination of negotiation and the threat of lethal force to bring the standoff to an end.
In The Line of Fire
We hear about the dramatic story that saw an off-duty surveillance officer tackle a gunman on the streets of London, and how one criminal fired at police before leading them on a chase across the city only to be snared in his own home.
Organised
We tell the story of the hard stop, one of the police's most difficult tactical maneuvers used to intercept armed men as they travel by car. We unpick one such incident that ended with a fatal shooting, and an armed policeman on trial for murder.
