The real line of duty
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Tom Symonds has exclusive access to two new Metropolitan Police teams focused on catching criminals in uniform – and changing the culture within the force.
Line of Duty portrays a fictional police anti-corruption team. But whilst the dishonesty, deceit and deception rooted out by AC-12 might be a little far-fetched - in real life the reputation of the police is in the balance.
It's been rocked by the murder of Sarah Everard by Wayne Couzens - a serving police officer - and it’s facing growing allegations of abusive and unprofessional behaviour by officers.
Tom Symonds, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Affairs Correspondent, has been given exclusive access to two brand new Metropolitan Police teams – that have the ultimate aim of catching criminals in uniform – and changing the culture within the force. This is 5 Minutes On - the real line of duty.
