Traffic Cops

The return of the programme offering an insight into the work of officers patrolling the roads of Derbyshire. PC Chris Ryan follows a car that triggered an alert on the police's ANPR system as it was linked to a spate of catalytic converter thefts, while Sgt Steve Hughes is working with HMRC to track down and stop a vehicle that is suspected of carrying illicit cash

PC Karl Jackson is called to an accident in which two people have died, and his priority is to cordon off the area, collect early witness statements and begin the sad task of trying to identify the victims so their relatives can be informed. PC Paul Barker attends an incident in which a car has spun and crashed and finds an empty can of beer on the floor of the car involved

Dave McAllister is one of a team of officers on the M1 pursuing a stolen HGV, but only after its tyres are punctured with a stinger does the lorry come to a halt. A call comes into Derbyshire police HQ about a stolen motorhome. and Its owner has a live tracker on the vehicle and is giving constant updates to the control room of its position

A member of the public reports a car veering erratically across the M1 and Karl Jackson and Matt Cooling are sent to investigate. They catch the vehicle up and box it in at traffic lights on a slip road, where the driver, smelling of alcohol, is dragged out and refuses a breathalyser test. Jason Potts is called to a rush-hour crash on the A50, while Alex Boniface takes the lead in the pursuit of a stolen Audi

On patrol in Derbyshire, the traffic cops tackle a variety of criminals, ranging from drunk or drugged drivers to violent county lines drug dealers and organised crime gangs.

Derbyshire's roads, a magnet for bikers of all kinds, prove to be a nightmare for traffic cops; a motorcycle versus car crash ends up fatal.

PC Andy Swift and PC Stu Smith pull over a car at one site. While Stu checks it over, Andy talks to the driver, who appears evasive and contradictory with his answers.
