The Force is an honest and revealing look at the pressures of modern policing and the complex issues front line emergency response officers face. With unparalleled access to the 999 response team, police control room and to specialist units like road traffic, dogs, and firearms each episode paints a picture of crime in the force area, including the North East, Essex and Manchester.
The cameras follow the 999 work of Greater Manchester Police who are England's second largest police force and who are responsible for protecting 2.7 million people.
Following the work of the Greater Manchester Police, this documentary isn’t the show to look for to tide you over until the next episode of Line of Duty – but it’s intriguing enough, as the dogged team happen upon a Rochdale cannabis farm. Fans of a high-speed chase will not be disappointed, as one pair of car-jackers takes off, and we are introduced to 19-month-old German shepherd Kato, fresh from his tracking-dog training and ready to be let loose on his first suspect.
