To Catch a Copper
Story films for Channel 4
2024
Jaw-dropping documentary series which, like the real Line of Duty, unearths shocking cases of corrupt officers in Avon and Somerset Police. Produced over four years and first aired January 2024 on Channel 4.
Avon and Somerset Police offered Channel 4 unprecedented access to its Professional Standards department, the unit that polices the police. What was found was shocking cases of abuse and malpractice of a sexual and racial nature alongside mistreatment of members of the public suffering mental health crises.
