The nick. S01e03. Documentaire over de politie in Brighton.

A new observational documentary series for ITV reveals the reality behind the policing of one of Britain’s most vibrant cities.
 
Brighton, with its seaside location and fun reputation, attracts more than eight million visitors a year. With unique access to Brighton’s main police station, the three part series follows the officers as they fight to keep law and order in a city with a quarter of a million residents.
 
From Divisional Commander, Nev Kemp, to the detectives and officers on patrol, the films follow the daily working lives of the staff at Brighton Nick.
 
The series was filmed over the Summer of 2014 by Renegade Pictures. Series Producer Ashok Prasad says: “With a cast of engaging officers and detectives, The Nick is the real-life Bill / Hill Street Blues, and it tells the intimate story of what it’s really like to work in a modern police station.” 
 
Each episode tells the story of a few days at the Nick as investigations unfold - from initial call-outs to arrest, from briefings to raids. 
 
In different episodes we follow the search for a sexual predator who's been breaking into women's homes at night, the tracking down of a heroin-addicted serial conman who's been targeting the elderly in their own homes and the aftermath of a serious glassing where a man nearly lost his life. 
 
The cameras follow the officers as they plan and execute a raid on a drugs' den, the break-up of a brothel and a suspected suspicious death where all is not as it seems. Meanwhile - members of the public sign on at the front desk, drunks are moved on and sex toys and drugs are booked into the property store.

Jammer, dat er zo weinig belangstelling is voor deze serie.
Geeft toch een aardig inkijkje in het dagelijkse politieleven.
