Motorway Cops Reveal Human Side of Policing
29 Apr
Summary
- Officers highlight their human side beyond duty.
- Documentary series showcases daily life and serious incidents.
- Bodycam footage review ensures sensitive content is handled.
The Staffordshire Police road crime team is featured in the latest series of "Motorway Cops: Catching Britain's Speeders," aiming to showcase the human side of law enforcement. Inspector Chris Moss stated that officers are not only dedicated to community safety but also share a commonality with the public, engaging in everyday activities like having a laugh and enjoying a cup of tea.
This tenth series follows the team's work on roads such as the M6 and A500, highlighting both the difficult and dangerous aspects of their job and the more lighthearted moments. Moss emphasized that while officers deal with significant threats, they also experience enjoyment and build positive relationships, a balance the show intends to convey.
Filming "pretty much everything" was a unique experience for the officers. However, the presence of experienced TV crews, who understood when to be unobtrusive, ensured it was not distracting. The force also had editorial control, enabling them to review footage and omit sensitive material, such as injuries from collisions, before broadcast.
