DESCRIPTION
Over recent years there has been a growing crisis of trust in policing.
Over four years, cameras followed cases from the point of view of investigators, accused officers, victims, legal professionals and community leaders.
This creates a joined-up picture of the overall system designed to bring corrupt officers to justice as never seen before.CREDITS

⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑A jaw-dropping docuseries
It's the police as you've never seen them before (and you won't do again)
Well shot, balanced, claustrophobic and extremely honest. It's mandatory viewing.

QUOTES
An eye-opening, damning three-parter on whether the police are capable of investigating their own. It is great public service television.
While the documentary may be hard, uncomfortable and upsetting viewing focusing on cases relating to mental health, race and sexual misconduct, I see it as fundamental to bringing about whole system, sustainable, change in policing culture and leadership.
- Mark Shelford, Police and Crime Commissioner
QUOTES
We knew that taking part in this documentary would be a controversial decision. Public institutions can be reluctant to open themselves up to this level of scrutiny, but people will see that we’re facing into the issues, however uncomfortable, which I hope will help to improve trust and confidence in our ability to police by consent.
- Sarah Crew, Chief Constable
