    Blood just rises above your [ __ ] head according to a 2020 home office report the British public is losing faith in the criminal justice system with fewer than 8% of cases resulting in a suspect being charged many people have given up even reporting incidents because of austerity that’s

    The all right we’ve got two cars to come into you now 72 the woman have actually been called what’s actually said on incident my mind was am might attending a fatal inent Here I was shocked to see the hole in the wall there’s a bit of a relief that your victims are sat up and the conscious and the breathing one of them started togate it’s the SYM of a massive trauma to head it is scary but you’ve got just to

    Keep them stable for ambulance and more trained Personnel to arrive just keep down car’s driven off it’s got smash bumper smashed headlights one guy driving have you got the number play of the car yeah I opened my door and there was a guy actually sat on the pavement he then

    Got up and ran off when he heard this car come and all you heard was this loud bang and someone screaming this car had rammed into the wall and at that point I called the police have you got any over injuries mate let’s have a look at your

    Legs so it felt almost as if it was planned like they were after that person for a reason who was his friends and family speak English to translate for yeah Romanian Roman Romanian Roman there were other Romanians in the area that were coming around trying to

    Find out what had happened I think a lot of people were in distress of what they’d seen keep that on who was done it do you speak English no no just ring him now through seconds right hello uh my name is PC wman from South yor Place Doncaster um we’re at an

    Accident involving some Romanian people um they’ve been hit by a car can you translate for me please you got one of These yeah down the street yeah and suddenly I got in the rear ended car turned around I looked and I saw two cars and people got out of the cars with BS and wrenches and when I saw that I started running away and as I running they and they R

    Over a couple thousand say Comes down here get clear it’s definitely L to the job on today I believe it was the car from the early incid hence it started in the morning with baseball bats it’s escalated to two members are pulled bin run over and push through brick wall have you got any pain anywhere in your Face he yeah with ambulance crew attending the victims the CCTV One Properties down there PC zalinski hands over to detective Jane keatley right so we’ve got 200 people 200 was this a serious crime no it was handed over to C team and they’ll do all follow up inquiries guy down here a g

    Through his head he says he’s been driving through hexo he’s been chased by two cars one of those cars is around BM from behind spinning in a ride they are know they are 9 times out of 10 the the incident we deal with there is a motive

    Behind them something of that extreme to run somebody over smash them through a brick wall my gut instinct is it’s probably to do with drugs and organized crime groups some gangs if they’re feuding amongst themselves they will be getting revenge on each other there’s a similar incident this morning stre

    Heard three guys on the street uh were stopped by two cars same M again attacked him clubs on bats again um it was all late because it happened so publicly I don’t think they give a monkeys as to who sees and what the have done they don’t know that there’s not a

    Police car around the corner about to arrest them and put them in prison for the rest of their life they just want to send a message out to other people that whatever’s happened if you do the same then perhaps this could happen to you I’ve been given any anything at all it’s

    Just the fact that inju no wants to speak to this afternoon as well they didn’t want to speak to us at all anybody that grasses on them cut up beat up families get beat up elra bombs from the house car smashed every window house smash it’s a sad State of Affairs there’s a lot of balance involved lot of territory lots of drugs involved long as the money’s involved you’ll still get gangs you’ll still get violence you’ll still get the Revenge Poli emergency all um I had a text message off my sister asking me to ring the Poli to go to her house it’s a quarter to midnight on Tuesday I think has just come back from the than that she wouldn’t back me if she didn’t need it so we down an

    Emergency response get to the Dr straight away okay PCS Sophie MTO and Michael Patton are sent to intercept the man at his home address for somebody to text somebody else and ask them to make the N at night because something’s quite clearly not right so you are keeping that in the

    Back of your mind hello there good do oh hello all right not really he’s being out tonight come in and just lost his [ __ ] wants for out to be his dad he got a knife in his back pocket right it’s out there with him it’s a meet

    CLE I was running in my head as though this is just a normal domestic Partners who had an argument we’ll separate them all will be well and it was one of those moments where you’re like right okay we’re not just dealing with an normal domestic here this is something out of the

    Ordinary F just show me hands a minute please don’t make any subs where’s this me c m yeah take him put him in my car get you in we’ll find out what’s going off what’s going off then fer he didn’t really want to speak to us

    That much but I S I could see that was quite clearly something boiling up inside him that he wanted to let out why have you got a meat cleaver on you I want to go kill someone but I can’t so what what’s going off tonight I S

    Something happen I just I’ve been out a few drinks yeah okay but there’s a situation going off with my family at the minute my dad is being charged for assaulting my daughter all Right Trails next week and right I think I should have done more so are you blaming yourself yeah I wouldn’t be blaming yourself for it because that’s his actions is it it’s not your action I should have I should have gone around and kicked his [ __ ]

    Ed you wanted to kill his own dad how how do you tell someone it’ll be all right when he’s going through that because it’s not all right is it it’s it’s not all right has he been wandering streets through that week he hasn’t gone out so he’s took it out of the kitchen

    And he just put it where we found it at the back door we have to remember that we are human and sometimes to put yourself in other people’s shoes can sometimes explain the behaviors although they may seem strange at first picking up a me cleav is quite odd when when there’s the explanation

    Behind it you kind of do have that understanding why somebody may be at crisis Point his mentality is that he’s not a man because he didn’t go around there and still his head him when it happened right so he’s beating himself up a little bit about what’s

    Gone off okay and you know he knows when he’s sober that we’ve done the right thing by contacting pleas and doing it all properly yep but I still think he’s just he’s bottling it all or Yeah you sort of want and say to them look that

    Was the wrong thing to do you shouldn’t be doing it this is how we should be doing it because I’m a police officer and that’s what my job is I’ve got to uphold the law but I understand his his anger his thoughts he just wanted Revenge it’s all he

    Wanted you’re getting a bit stressed you f me now you and and that’s because of what’s going on the thing is mate you need to be there for your daughter and if if he trials next month she’s going to need next week next week how old is

    She she needs a dad no I know she needs a dad V she don’t need well you’re a dad I know I know of course she needs you a princess exactly so does she want you to be in prison of course she doesn’t had he have gone around and

    Caused significant harm to him that would have just caus more disaster you might have got revenge for yourself but I don’t think you’ve got revenge for the children for your daughter who was the victim of all this because the end of the day that is who

    The victim is isn’t in in this case I feel I feel lost my door this is what I’m saying is I don’t think you have I don’t think you have trying to explain that to it with was the key there trying to explain that I know you

    Want revenge and I get that but I think we need to go the right way about it let let the courts let the courts do with you’ve had a drink you’re saying stupid things about going around and assaulting him his [ __ ] you that doesn’t help does it I know it’s difficult and it’s

    Easy for me to say but let the courts do what they do but I get what you’re saying I get what you’re saying I I don’t know no no you’re not getting Nick I think we’re more worried about about you at minute anything else yeah my

    Business now is to make sure that you are in a mental state that we can make sure you’re not going to do anything silly tonight to yourself or to anyone else all right where’s your sister live yeah that’s perfect perfect we can walk down

    Anyway it doesn’t sound like an emergency to me there are many that might not be immediately classified as critical you rung 999 which is a life and death emergency line is there an an emergency happening right now yeah because is damage the cause that why the most where people ring and it’s

    Something really silly but they automatically ring the police for it but that’s not that’s not an emergency the fence me damage isn’t an emergency these waste of time 999 calls they clog up the system we’ve only got a limited number of people answering phones if we’re tied down dealing with somebody just wanting

    To chat sometimes it’s slowing us down and It ultimately affects the public themselves thank you I had somebody ring up because they thought they heard a cat screaming is it a person or is it it was just a cat Meo and I can see on our

    Board at work the call stacking up and any one of them could be in a like in a real emergency and actually really need our help the volume of calls has increased by 30% over the last 10 years with that the number of non-emergency calls has also increased South yorch

    Police I I’ve just Bor television and it’s not working there is a massive percentage of incidents that are reported to us that that on our police matters and it’s as simple as that and it’s our job to be blunt and just say listen this isn’t a job for us it’s I’m

    Not a very nice man and he won’t give me my money the bottom line is is that the control room is a filtering service we decide what the police go to and what we don’t and and we weed out the crap we don’t police whether TVs work or don’t

    Work you should have checked it before you bought it but you do get some people who know how we work and they know what the police have to respond to so they know the trigger words you know so knife gun domestic that gets us there straight away and people learn that you Know emergency it’s 9:00 on Saturday evening you’ve been Assa what’s happened Today charie 73 Tango we currently in ra Mar what’s the address please as the caller has mentioned being assaulted by his ex BC’s Jack Mitchell and erum pundu are dispatched to check at her address received we’re on Route with domestic incidents it’s a forc priority so would attend up as an

    Emergency there’s no if so what’s about it however sometimes you feel like people want the police to settle the argument who’s right who’s wrong yeah I’ve got officers on the way you so it’s there oh says please use a back Y no about all Right just have a chat yeah with my colleague who I speak to you Drive jointa I found the police I want got WR video just H me I’m not going to show that video okay okay then why why tell me then why tell me because obviously if

    You say something like that then we’ve got to take action hav’t no no no I didn’t say I didn’t say all no it’s too late we need to find out what’s happening it was very confusing he was saying things that didn’t make sense they didn’t add up story kept changing

    It just went from one side to another the fact of the matter is have you been assaulted today from no no okay have you been drinking please pleas okay well that’s not going to happen you do find certain individuals rigging 999 pretending they need some help then when police gets

    There they’re only wanting a lift the end of the day all I’m interested in is that you two aren’t going to Hur each other and that you aren’t going to Hur each you yourself stay with me stay with me from okay listen respectfully and I mean this

    For the most respect you rambling you have been obviously celebrating your son’s birthday time out the birthday is finished you’ve been asked to leave and obviously you were refusing to leave okay obviously there’s no offenses no assaults been happening so there’s nobody obviously that’s going to get

    Locked up today so at this point in time all they are asking is for you to leave to prevent any breach of Peace we’ve got to make sure he leaves cuz he doesn’t leave there if it’s got to be dealt with or it could escalate into something else

    Hey Lou sorry i s what do you need from the house I’ll show is get out the kitchen please I’ll show no just tell me what do you need from the house I it’s in the drawer it was quite funny obviously was telling us what his belongings were anything else you

    Need okay I I I wait for I’ll wait for my colleague to come out it contained uh obviously cannabis mate I have got your stuff but you got my V thank you phone thank you thank you come on you going to do with for unfortunately why what you mean why it’s

    Cannabis okay well that’s not obviously what I’ve been told he do a favor put his hands out for us she assaulted me I’ve got it a video I don’t know what he was thinking maybe that we’ brush it under the rug but it’s not something that you can just

    Ignore an offense is an offense you don’t have to say anything but it may harm your defense if you mention when questioned something which you may may later Aline in court anything you do say may go in evidence okay right we’ll talk this out both you shouldn’t have on

    You okay all right is not he is his Own Worst Enemy if he used his Common Sense he could have just left and there have been nothing happening just have a seat just have a seat use discretion for this you know right but instead he’s decided

    To involve the police and as a result of that get arrested listen that is not my weed to don’t ask police to collect your drugs it ain’t going to end well thanks very much all right so obviously at the moment the only reason here is is on suspicion of possession of

    Cannabis all right I fingerprint it all I hold your myself I hold your myself I haven’t done nothing wrong m i w smoke it to test you told me to get it cuz I thought I wanted it in the bin when we are dealing with incidents that like common sense it’s frustrating

    That is not my cannabis and now keeping car keep your mouth sh speak to lat you’re doing the opposite am I pissed off that happened massively because that’s my time that’s been wasted stop touching me please come on thank you thank you officer I’m a taser trained

    Officer so generally speaking I’ll go to the violent criminals I’ll go to the people that have got weapons because in my mind that’s where the threat is off me don’t don’t touch me that lad you horrible like many UK forces South Yorkshire police’s increased workload has coincided with a sharp decrease in

    Funding theirs has fallen by 21% over the last 10 years the force can be overwhelmed by non-emergencies when you factor a simple job like this you’ve got the call handlers you’ve got two police officers you’ve got the vehicles that we use you’ve got the custody Sergeants there’s only a certain amount of slack with this we are reaching that point where we’re dealing with far more non-emergency non- police relevant calls than actual crimes in progress there will be a breaking point if we keep misusing the Emergency Services there is going to be an impact

    On people that genuinely need the Service police emergency um police being beef from like MoneyWise how how are they taking the money from you well obviously I’m I’m every time I buy send are you saying they’re they’re basically overcharging you for it I’m not complaining about the weed they’re not taking this by force other they’re

    Not threatening you obviously not no no no no I just have to ask because if you’re hemorrhaging money then you need to look about where it’s going and stop that happening and that’s clearly with you e dealer bye a lot of these people seem to lack that ability to solve their own problems

    I don’t have children but I feel like I have children for the 12 hours I’m on the phone oh excuse me it’s not the there is a sizable population in this country who can’t function on their own it’s not necessarily their fault there’s lots of factors that influence

    That but they don’t know how to live on their own you know they’re not committing a crime I’m afraid so we couldn’t send some police officers out to ask them to turn off their lights people are struggling more nowadays they feel they’re not getting the support they need elsewhere and they

    Don’t know where to turn if it’s not I appreciate you’ve got no credit excuse me I don’t care because I I was allowed to it not everyone has the internet you know not everyone has friends that they can ask but people know that we’re always going to be there to answer the

    Phone so the fallback is always 999 I don’t like porridge but I’m trying to be Healy here I’m running the great North run in September so I’m trying to not eat like a fat pig it’s Monday afternoon and PC’s Ben Hy and Jack Wakefield have just started their

    Shift hello please yeah can you get somebody around next door neighbor she’s been threatening me D what you say threatening you what she said uh little dog little puppy it just happened to run in my house because she has the door open so do you think she’s

    Going to come to your house and hurt you at all or do you think it was oh I think yeah yeah yeah is threatening me we will have someone with you as soon as possible okay caller states that the female has just been threatening her

    Caller gone to the bin and the puppy who then lives next door ran into a house there’s a Frontline response officer you go into the job expecting to go to your Crashers goes to your burglaries go to your domestic incidents you don’t expect to go to the puppies run into my house

    Geraldine it’s police love but you kind of just go to it knowing your experience that that’s not what it’s about hey Geraldine are we all right to come in yeah what’s gone off Geral what have you ran us for because I’ve had enough what do you mean you’ve had enough I’m just

    Picking my washing again the latest puppy dashed into here yeah and then I didn’t do anything then she just suddenly got really nasty with me okay what did you want when you rang the police today I want you to sort those people I don’t want to be abused No One

    By you know tell me to f off F off F off and then I’m going to do this and that to you but why is that starting cuz it seems a bit bizarre that someone who just randomly tell you to f off when you’re in your garden do you not agree I

    Think you need to answer that one don’t you I understand people’s difficulties it must be really hard living that close to someone who you don’t get on with if you walk out at the same time as each other you’re going to end up walking past each other you’ve always got a

    Afraid relationship aren you with your neighbors we need an outcome a sensible outcome what are you going to do about all us word all right thank you for your time it was a really nice area years and years back always felt safe it’s changed an awful lot right what’s g

    Off with your neighbors is it your puppet gone over there there’s any threats been exchanged between you both Generations are going where they haven’t got that same sort of respect is there any way that hole in the fence you can put in front of it I

    Mean just for in meantime thank you the children call them in names bang on the window things like um hand the thrown at me I was frightened very frightened thank you for your time thank you dealing with these neor issues become a part of our job description we’re on

    24/7 housing probably aren’t as out of ours numbers but how long do you sit on hold to out of our housing for it’s really hard to deal with because it isn’t a case of you’re never going to see that person again you deal with the incident but it’s something that needs longterm work

    At the end of the day I’ve got no one to turn to that’s it and that in that moment I have no one to turn to other than contacting the police how many times have you ran 999 I would say over the past four five years Hundred police emergency I’m it’s her again hello South Yorkshire police carefully monitor people who call 999 on a regular basis I will call you [ __ ] back and I will call you back and I will call you back you better [ __ ] stop that [ __ ] you better what should [ __ ] put me there are currently almost 50 callers

    Being monitored five of whom are facing prosecution we’ve got a regular call rings constantly hello hello 26 attempts we had last night they don’t say anything they just hang up and then ring again have you already made a report about yeah and what’s happened with that

    Then the [ __ ] Ard it if you’re not giving them the answer they want they will just keep ringing sometimes five six times an hour on 999 and that is drama atic impact on our performance and being able to answer genuine calls I am SI to death you and doing what I’m

    Supposed to do right well in that case you need to make a complaint to the chief Constable can you put me to Chief con I don’t believe he works Saturdays there are ones that you sort of build a life with and over the past sort of five or six years they’re sort

    Of a constant hello I’m a disgusting bastard we we knew that already oh dear the thing is is that we also have loads of regular CS with severe mental health issues South yor police legal Dr activity a Russian Dr C oring me to be a Dr maker for their Cel using

    Magic I don’t know if I can do that but they think I can they’re having a crisis at that that point and if we calm that situation down and resolve it then it doesn’t escalate into something that the police actually have to go out to if there’s no other calls queueing and it

    Will give that person comfort for them to have a chat with you are you going to hang up on them I’m not I’ll see you that’s all I’ll see you bye thank you bye this Witchcraft it’s 10:30 on Friday night emergency Polie please help me hello it’s the police do you need to tell us where you are you got save me clear I’ll ring it back thank you yeah PC’s Craig Mo and Matt groots are the nearest officers to the

    Sca we be to address 92 times this year many people I don’t think they would call the police once in the lifetime and we’ve had overnight visits to the property but the minute a job comes in that could be serious you’ve got to be treating it properly and not letting those statistics clouty

    Judgment hello please you going to open the door for us Door You’ lock the door it’s frustrating when we respond to a caller and they don’t open the door our policy stays the same we need to see that they’re okay right I can see you you’re on your own and you just stood behind the door right

    So you need to unlock the door now I’m not going to keep your door in cuz you stood behind it who else is in there with you calmly talk to me I’m speaking calmly to you I hit you over the head who hit you over the head that’s my

    Story open the door go open the door then youve just you’ve just locked it and unlocked it again please help we’re trying to do you need an ambulance you don’t think so we were there for 40 minutes just do us a favor if I can see

    You and see that you’re all right then we’ll leave you alone wended up looking at her through the letter box that still had to be run through various supervisors if we were okay to leave I’ll ask you last time you’re going to open this door and let us come and speak

    To you or we’re going to have to go go she’s saying that there’s nobody else in a flat um she wanted to report some kind of historic assault she refused to speak to him and she should refused to see ambulance to call the police is regularly as this this person does

    There’s got to be some form of mental health Struggles some people want us to attend and fix their problems but a lot don’t actually know what problem they want Fixing people suffer Mental Health crisis that’s been more prominent to me over the last few years than ever they feel they’re not getting the support they need elsewhere where so they automatically think the police will help we try because we have a duty of care did you say Bra the brain is swen do you need an ambulance I need the police why you need the police where are you now sir woman where do you know what tell me they were already here as they went away I couldn’t open the door Right 82 tank I know we went to her about 20 minutes ago she’s called the G PC’s grocott and mo are still nearby when they’re dispatched back to the caller’s address great the mention of a brain injury means that an ambulance is already on the sea you sorry fire

    Oh oh should answer it let’s go and see if we can get in is you ring for an ambulance love just throwing things around you couldn’t speak to the ambulance unlock door it’s ambulance you want us to get away from your house the fire brigade’s here now and

    They’re going to put your door in ultimately if we walk away it’ll be the one time she will have actually smashed it on a coffee table or something and be hurt I can’t see to make sure you haven’t got any injuries so therefore we’re going to have to force entry to

    Your property to make sure that you’re all right oh my final warning we’re going to put your door in there we go what the heck is this you rers you would take a seat we go in there Spe no no you’re going to start hitting People get out of get out if you make one more false call to the 999 this evening one more time and you will be arrested apologize sir we need one of them BS yeah we do the good that w’t they yeah ever since I’ve been in the job

    We’ve we’ve dealt with mental health issues she’s clearly not well do I think it’s for the police to be dealing with it is a tricky one until there’s a drastic change in the legislation or the way we work we’ll continue to show up to people like this

    Ultimately because we are a service that attends to make sure people are okay I’ve got no issues with that but I certainly think we could do with more training because we really are becoming mental health nurses police emergency just smash at their busiest South Yorkshire police receive a 999 call every 12

    Seconds why is it with drivers today she’s not even look in God get out a what a mess officers can be called on to attend up to a dozen separate incidents in any single shift we pass it to ambulance thank you Police emergency just come away from him just

    While I can get help Here dropped your these now get down but alongside serious incidents and criminal matters have you got anything on yet officers are increasingly called on pleas down to help the vulnerable Police emergency I need the police my ex just beit in my face in front of the whole and I’ll be sh out I

    Don’t think it’s right have you been drinking today or you taking anything yeah what have you been drinking or taking uh you’ve not got any knives or anything with you at the moment though to hurt yourself have you we need to get you some help don’t we

    No no you’ve not got anything on you at the moment is it just something that you’re feeling like you want to do balancing these differing needs puts a constant strain on resources police emergency please help please help I have already reported it it’s been be home smash his back for second please Cal

    Down people feel we have an endless supply of officers locked in little alcoves so whenever the comes in we release them they go to that job we don’t go out get my get out get out I’ve got officers traveling on Blue lies now okay in a bid to alleviate the pressure

    On the system the government have pledged to recruit 20,000 new officers across the country in the first half of 2020 South Yorkshire police took on over a 100 recruits oh that made my belly go it’s half 10 on Saturday night indis training officer PC Muhammad Al radi and new recruit Laura shooter have

    Just started their shift on a roller coaster I’ve been a police officer for approximately 6 months my parents do worry sometimes that that I am putting myself out there on on the front line dting on blue lights to people have got warning markers weapons markers but it’s

    Not always like that because you just never know what to expect emergency hey fler I’ve got just have some rain on the front window back window right okay have they gone away now shouting outside get some officers out to scene for you and see if we can moved on all Right I will you right hello again what have you got up to both officers immediately recognized the woman accused of causing a disturbance but where are you going now though you all going you yeah all right I’ve worked Sheffield 13 years you get to know the character in your area quite

    Quickly I am good yeah she’s not somebody I would call a criminal she doesn’t go out to commit crimes steal things or hurt people misunderstood yeah last time I seen her she said she wanted to be arrested so she could have on in custody all fany but it is quite nice

    The reality of modern policing nowadays it’s not just going out there locking the baddies up dealing with social issues people that having problems with their family substance abuse hi I just dropped this guy and the lady jump just 20 minutes after they sent her home PC’s Al radii and shooter are

    Confronted by the same Troublemaker I thought you were going home listen you know what it is I’m going to pay for a tax but I can’t pay for it until I get home just listen to me he’s going home he’s finished now he’s not taking anybody you need to leave the area

    Because this is two incidents man I going to leave right the C car his fault and we’re at a taxi service people that have their own demons or issues like her require social interaction we had a drink tonight I bet You could even say they required audience where you going put your ass away come on put it away my patience has gone you need to stay quiet my colleagues that I’m going to take you home you come back we get a further call you will be arrested okay yourself all

    Right the support mechanisms that should be there whether it’s a parent teacher social worker friend for whatever our reasons they AR there anymore they have nobody to talk to a lot of the time we’re the only people that these people interact with is for the wrong reasons but they’ve got an

    Interaction over the last decade social care spending in Sheffield has been cut by 12% something like her you just know that if you don’t sort it the start of a long line of possible incidents that could happen that night hanging around it’s not that all time Police

    Emergency man get some all fting smash window everything it’s all right we’re coming on blue lights Okay off with a taser stereo offer with a taser throughout the hours of Darkness [ __ ] where you are officers are stretched to the Limit conf yeah we’ve got obvious blood staining all over this car I’m going to need another unit to this search scene immediately police emergency seems to

    Like some sort of Dr she just banging window of them just screaming just swearing little I can’t this is attend em it’s on going all right meanwhile PC Al radii and shooter are responding to yet more reports of a disturbance in the Neighborhood what you doing back here we’ve had reports that you’re banging on people’s windows and stuff and shouting once again it’s the drunk woman they dealt with earlier himself you need to go home you can’t stay here cuz it’s disturbing other people we’ve already T you back

    Once right here [ __ ] off then I’m not going to explain again if you’re not willing to leave the area then yeah you’re going to be arrested as part of her training PC shooter is taking the lead why you want to Lo me up tell me

    One thing why you want to Lo me up I’ve not said I want to lock you up but if you don’t leave the area then you are going to get locked up unfortunately our job is to actually deal with people that you do cross the road to avoid I’m not

    Hting no you’re disturbing people by creating noise however to understand where somebody comes from is important it is easy to judge somebody being able to talk and empathize and sympathize and a big part of his job I I miss off First time it is sad when you when you go to a job and you see that people are struggling sometimes you are or there thinking you know this is a person in crisis we can’t help them even though we might want to Ready but it does kind of reach a point where you kind of have to take that control and that is something that I’ve struggled with in this role come on we’ll worry about that in a sec just knowing when to take that step between giving words of advice and having a

    Friendly laugh and a joke to you know you’re taking the M now M you’re under arrest for being drunk and disorderly you don’t have to say anything but it may on your defense if you do not mention when question something you later around in court and

    If you do say may be given an Evidence the problem that you’ve got is that there are lots of people like her that have got alcohol misuse mental health the cops only get called to deal with the issue at hand cops can’t actually sort out what the core problem is you f you can in that instant take C however

    It’s going to occur again again and again if the problem was solved in the first place so if there was support mechanisms in place there we would never get the call to attend a block of lats at 2:00 in the Morning she’s not a bad she’s just caught up in bad stuff I didn’t expect to spend an entire shift sorting out one person problems but it’s just the way it is at the minute who else is going to deal with It it’s 7:30 p.m. pleas emercy oh hi I’ve just been in the center of CH when I was boly woman and she’s really confused I help her get into a taxi and get home but I think we’ve come to the wrong house she’s in her 80s and she’s

    Talking about it being her mom’s house another family Liv here very confused and it’s very cold okay yeah if you could just stay there it be assured I will do so the caller founder at the top of the more BC’s Graham McShan and Donna Armstrong are dispatched to meet the

    That we need um to confirm or address and then it could save us hours of time you just take me to 20 you’re at 20 now but the wrong address you a nurse yeah you’re nurse that enough we’d probably deal with jobs like this on a daily

    Basis where an elderly person in a confused confused State your mom don’t live there nor I think you’re bit confused I’m not my mother always lived in old how old’s your mom she’s in her 80s how old are you I’m 83 I don’t think that can be possible don’t P it she was

    A nice warm home and it’s very cold do you want to go home to the W come on let’s get you over to our car to be flat where live I’ve never that’s all right yeah yeah all right is the police have got a duty to protect life on is the Night

    Who no I’ve not seen him no sometimes he goes to his par does they were devoted to each other that’s s’s wedding day she was very socialized person she L people love company like to have a bit of a party she get on with anybody nor but I think Norma’s dementia started

    Even before Brian passed away found it very difficult I was always St close to her and obviously over the period of time it just got worse and worse and worse Ryan on his horse I often wonder whether it’s better that the likes of Norma realize that

    They’re on their own that if she didn’t have dementia she’d be sad and lonely um or whether she thinks that Brian has just nipped out to the shop what what’s better you a te yeah just had one I just had one I’m looking for Brian look he’s

    On the back row into I remember I mean it’s still about is yeah let going have a biscuit then me Grandma had dementia and it were scary she went from you know like a really strong obstinate lady to a you know kind of sh for myself really

    Didn’t really know who I was so I didn’t really know who my dad was kind of pretty pretty sad really bye I don’t like leaving her on her own she must be so she was at All Bye I would have done the same for any old lady but she has been part of that police family is a little bit more Special she’s still waving blessing I should have had a cup of tea on she like you could have drank it in the time you were there anyway if it’s not us finding Norma who should it be the ambulance is it a medical matter so Social Services the public it doesn’t fall to anyone

    The door we’ve had 10 years of austerity people don’t have as as much money as they used to is it cheaper going to get a 20 crate of lger from the supermarket and inviting your friends around yeah probably will you have just as much fun yeah probably they’re banging on the

    Window it’s got a house full of guys but you can sit and do what you want talk to who you want listen to what you want can’t smoke whenever you want do whatever you want we’ll send it on for officers okay thank you bye the increase of people drinking from home is causing

    All kinds of problems Police emergency oh what did you do I’m up from the next old neighbor there’s fighting going on in the the problem is that there’s no cut off pubs and restaurants you know oldfashioned ones you’ve got a bell for last orders noisy neighbors loud music

    Drunken fights in the street all the sort of antisocial elements of going out drinking have now come to the home how many people do you think over there drinking at home is pretty Lawless in a sense once uh they’re behind the closed door that’s their Castle they can

    Can do what they like in their view it can escalate very quickly s please it’s half past midnight on Sunday I’m on my phone house we being very loud a call is coming in from a worried resident about a party next door you know when like football St and

    Go yeah you know and all that were like celeb now they’re like to sound like they’re killing one another and they’re like banging on door and everything and there’s like couple of BL screaming Viol that’s it sounds to me like a couple of BLS have got this bloke against the door PCS Alice Marshall and Matt spaven are dispatched to the address in Doncaster on a Friday and Saturday night the drunk people in Doncaster e like they’re literally just looking for a

    Fight You’ think it would be safer to drink at home but there’s always fights at home as well have got time H and Goot before we get there no yeah Alice is probably the smallest girl on shift but she has the biggest mouth I think in the Force um

    And I would put R up against anyone in a fight it can be a bit tense going into House Parties more often than not everyone’s confrontational it’s unbelievable how drunk people get hello mate hello M you’re all right can we come in yeah what what’s been

    Going off tonight I don’t know what do you mean you don’t know kind of what’s been happening tonight you don’t look right happy what’s up yeah that’s who’s through there dear hello let’s turn that music off there was lots of gentlemen with the t-shirts off um don’t know what so match about

    Taking your top off but when they’ve all got the tops off you know there maybe it’s too much testosterone and things have got a v between the gentleman what’s what’s been going off tonight nothing happen nothing just argue a little bit and who who’s been arguing him him but

    Right so what’s happened got smashed just somebody just Dro it we knew that something had happened based on how the room looked and what people were like but everyone were friendly they were acting as if they were no problems whatsoever so nobody’s got any Injuries so basically they’ve got some beers one of them said something but to the other one argue they didn’t fight or something like because we’ve been Here okay well does everybody live here no so are you going to bring your taxi then to go home cuz you can’t stop here now cuz we’ve had noise complaints this party’s got to start English people are more confrontational when police attend I think in places like Romania police

    Probably wouldn’t even get called to an incident like that so they’re quite blaz when police attend cuz they don’t actually think there’s been an issue yeah they’ve had a fight but it’s nothing if you can take one of them and let them just go to sleep for at night

    And come back that’s absolutely fine when everyone’s sober cuz this can’t continue tonight cuz if we get a call back someone will AR or will Again weekend everyone going home now yeah put some clothes On for might people will argue that we are the fun police that we stop the fun and you know they probably are right we do probably SP a lot of fun but we can’t be having people getting out of control all the time right brilliant no

    More noise when I was 17 my neighbors over the road had an house party which I actually attended and my mom went and shut it down all right thank you certainly not a great look when your mom bu into house party 10 years on I’m doing the same thing um but she’s

    Proud I thought it’d be a bit more fun than That God sou please Megan speaking how can I help there’s shouting and banging and something going off in the flat below okay and uh what kind of shouting is it oh we having a party or something probably hear it in a bit there has been an increase in calls relating to House

    Parties it used to be generally only focused around the weekends on on average shift I might take three or four nowadays that’s rocketed can be quiet and the banging been going on for at least two hours is no problem with the party at the beginning of the night

    Everybody’s having a good time it’s just as the night goes on the music gets louder screaming shouting and it gets our hand hello you police right you Two across the road from where we live they dispersed them and now they all come back there’s a the problem obviously in residential areas when people are having House parties and everyone’s wasted and it obviously everyone leaves at the same time or it’s spilling out onto the road and we do get

    A lot of issues with that basic the and give me a these young people may be throwing up on the garden throwing cans of beer fighting outside there’s a m of and girls on the street screaming shouting and fighting right okay a few old residents look quite disturb what’s going on people drinking

    At home away from the town centers makes it a lot harder to police we don’t know where it’s going to happen and we have a lot further to travel when things do happen all come they all all of them I don’t see point in your guys com dispers

    Them and then they all come back the big problem we have is being able to respond in a timely manner invariably it’s either escalated or we’ve had a further call saying they’re now fighting before somebody gets to it and I think if only we could have got to that sooner it’s approaching

    Midnight PCP Ard and Sergeant Edward Derby have been dispatched to the outskirts of Rotheram they’ve been sent to back up other units attending a family party which is Spilled Out into the street and is getting out of control Rome 71 tank Way we DED on scene and could see that there were group of about 20 or 30 people just in the street that have had a lot to Drink literally just arguing and shouting and rambling basically listening to them when large groups of families or friends get together I think quite a lot of the time when alcohol’s involved there’s going to be an argument at the end of the night well my great niece’s birthday and

    Everybody having a good time and everything but there always something goes wrong in they when they’ve had a few to drink language you won’t get the game lots of families have some skeletons in C but first everybody’s all right but then as the night goes on the reactions

    Changed because they the drinking and it spills over and then the other people think they’re tougher than them or whatever we want to resolve the situation quickly and safely basically because the longer it goes on the risk element increases we need going home people who are R and raping clearly

    Drunk they don’t want to listen to us stop saring at me with officers struggling to disperse the crowd extra Crews arve to assist them get in the car people getting tax don’t quick can go well people need to go home there’s got to be at least five or six double crew

    Cars I sometimes you have to show a little bit of a show of force tax is here here after 40 minutes of being urged homework get him out over just get locked up no I’ve done it before the revelers start to disperse only do AR it’s one of the aspects of being a

    Police officer is having that patience and keeping your patience at jobs like that watch your bikes chaps his car’s going to end up running somebody over isn’t it s sing it’s too late for that you like Elvis come on what you going sing we can all together we’re suspicious

    Now I’m done now that’s it the next morning I thought oh fancy me singing Elvis with with placeman anyway tomorrow night we won’t be here that wasn’t the first time you Su Elvis with some is it it is we policeman were very nice talk to well they were all

    Nice I’ll let you know when we’re for drink next time no next time F you already do kick off um no of course I have yeah we’ve had arguments but not fighting in Street we’ve arrested a didn’t sou police how can help I’m having same sh my next yet again right

    Okay had enough it’s gone midnight and I can still hear them the thing that upsets people about House Parties the most is the noise not just music you hear you hear people shouting being stupid maybe jumping around bottle smashing I’m trying to sleep in my bedroom my dog is shaking because of the

    Amount of noise they are making and especially if it’s an ongoing issue we get certain houses that have House Parties every week maybe it might be students it does send you a bit insane so you do understand to a certain degree why they get so angry on the call with

    You the same [ __ ] every [ __ ] time who lives in that address you know the name I have no idea some assh there’s just right let’s just talk about this K so we don’t know the names then now no I don’t know the and how many of them is there that lives there I

    Have no idea how I’m being sworn at and Sh with her they really go at you you know get place here now I want the police out right now to had enough of this your doors locked at the moment they are but you know what that me I’m

    Just asking I still do need to know what’s happening I never spoke to you before unfortunately if it is just noise there’s not a lot that we can do as police officers we don’t have the authority to go and turn off the music or anything like that literally every

    Time it’s called about me I get asked my doors are lock asking a few doors we want to know if you’re safe or not that’s the point of that question if it’s simply a noise complaint about people having a party and being loud it’s nothing to do with the police and

    People don’t understand that is a council matter I always say to members of the public we could walk up knock on someone’s door and say would you mind turning the music down we’ve had some complaint and they could tell us to do one and we couldn’t do anything about it

    Because we don’t have the power so do you want to take the incident number H if there’s a report of fighting or illegal activity then yeah we would go because we have a responsibility to to deal with that but otherwise if it’s just noise sorry no we we don’t we don’t go to

    That if anything does change and they do come around to your address or anything like that you need to stra away all right okay then thank you bye it’s 9:30 on Sunday night Police emergency yes there par going and I think the owner of the

    Property is trying to get rid his C and they’re not leaving and it sounds like the F off is it a flat yeah it’s quite loud and uh I think he need some help to get let let’s see if we can get it sorted out for you all righty let’s go PC’s Muhammad Al rabadi and Bernie’s God A dispatch to fth park a quied residential area between Sheffield and Rotherham I don’t get Involved me we’re traveling now don’t worry Sunday night when people have got work in morning it’s so how policing a domestic party is is harder than it is to police Town Center there is the element of unknown you don’t know who’s there you don’t know why they’re there and you don’t

    Know what they’re capable of in the Town Center you have loads and loads of cops usually on a night when they’re expecting heavy drinking you don’t have that on the district you have a couple of bobes out in patrol car let’s hope it is just somebody like

    Being too loud and having a few drinks because house party gone wrong can be a real pain in the ass whoa no okay okay have you been up there yeah you’ve been up there you need it down where you live is that your girl you’re shouting up at the windows it needs to

    Drunk so hasn’t got a very good memory of what’s Happening you’re never going to get to the bottom of it he just coming hey hey you big for me what does he look like want the floor who who is it you don’t know who it is if this party have happened in a

    Public space it wouldn’t have got to that level because there’ have been more cops around to deal with it there’d have been more members of the public around and he might not have ended up getting arrested he might have just been ended up on the end of someone’s boot telling

    Him to get out of Town Sunday night I ask You since 20 1 a quarter of British pubs have shut down more than 13,000 in total I’ve always loved those pubs that have the cold fire and the carpet the old fashioned wooden bar my local used to be a bar called blades bar was like taking off this heavy Rook sack that

    You’ve been carrying around all day and you just leave that at the door you know it’s there and you’ll be picking it up again afterwards but for the period of time that you’re in there this is my time rather when I were growing up when

    I were younger used to be a really good Night Out used to have a few bars a couple of nightclubs as I’ve got older they’ve gone we used to do quite a bit of public order on a Friday and a Saturday night and now it’s we don’t do

    Any at the same time as pubs have declined the amount of alcohol sold for home consumption has been on the rise police Communications how can we help I’m not I didn’t the availability of cheap booze of course encourages people to to be excessive about their drinking last week

    I spoke to someone that 9:00 in the morning and were’re drunk how can you be drunk there early or maybe we’ve got it wrong me and my friend walk stairs all right and all could do smash do you think they’ve had a drink or something like that or not yeah yeah yeah yeah

    You’ll get somebody pissed up ringing at like 11:00 a.m. and you think it’s 11:00 a.m. what are you doing go but it’s just what happens these Days police emergency see it’s 5:00 on Sunday afternoon hello um I’d like to report an assault please okay what who’s been assaulted two people arguing outside my house where are they now uh they’re walking up the street right they are fighting at the moment are they yeah

    Get there there is a lot of booing to be fair another people drinking during the day it doesn’t matter what day it is or what time it is you know it’s not a surprise to us if you get a job at 1:00 in the afternoon and and people are drunk

    What we doing drink you’re Ser up and stop wearing the public place basically I heard them arguing outside the house I open open the curtain she was Bing her eyes out he was just having to go then I saw him walk around to the side of my wife’s car

    Coming home with me we get a few cans and chill out watch tell she didn’t want to leave at that point and that’s obviously then when we start rowing on Street [ __ ] off pushing it you our initial plan would just arrest the ma and get him out of the

    Way on the street you know got members of the public you do have to get control quite quickly colle just GNA search make sure you got Flor but it was just taking too long it’s that thing giving him an inch in the take a m [ __ ] [ __ ] I’m not thank you

    Lisa the first offic so we made a decision that we’re bad enough now you’re not having a cigarette anymore you were going to custody get in the car kind of thing but sometimes to resist arrest or’ll just lash out please watch his legs going kick don’t you spit on me

    Again shut up when I’ve had too much a lot a lot of dream I switch he SC me fast I’m P Watch I’m not allowed to any pubs I can be dangerous mate trust me I can be very dangerous shut up get shut up are you talking

    Have a nap have a sleep then when you wake up you’ll be sober and back home won’t you what I bet like I bet they not the Hilton that’s for sure oh God not dou bed then no Netflix One I’ve never used to drink at all well on occasion like if I were going to have friends but now if he turns around and says I’m having a drink so then I’ll say well I’ll have one weird ARR me anyway that young lady there drunking disorder

    Drunk disorder I’m drunk not drunk go drunk drunk you’re drunk g g you g did I swear yeah how many times lo I do apologize basically we might have a walk into Rob room and he’ll get a few cans I always prefer drinking at home this cheap beer stuff man I love it

    I love it fo charging like 4 pound a p how can you afford that three PS it it’s [ __ ] 12 once you not fiz it you get [ __ ] six cans of 9% and they’ll R you off right Lisa how much you had to drink today I couldn’t tell you a lot then by

    The sounds of it there is a problem with like really cheap alcohol that you can buy and it’s purely for the purpose to get pissed anything I could do to help not me up that’s a b bit late for that is it late I’d be rich if I had a

    Quit for every time someone said there you get them deals don’t you we you know four cans is this much but if you buy eight you get two quid knocked off it’s just encouraging people to drink and To while home drinking has been on the rise for years recent lockdowns have only increased its Temptations Police emergency I think with all the pubs and clubs uh shutting down because of lockdown it’s become almost a routine for people I’d have a cup of tea some people might think oh I’ll have some

    Wine then it doesn’t matter I’m not going anywhere in 2020 off sales of alcohol soared by 20% Britain’s took home an extra half a billion liters of booze think people are not working or working from home they might think at 4: 5:00 when they finish well I have one

    Drink now and that it continues into the night I want to report something about people coming to my next to a neighbor right she’s having visitors all the way through the day all way through the night she’s partying all way all the night people were having Garden parties House

    Parties and obviously the load then comes down to the police we having to deploy officers to send these people Home in turbulence scenes like this one filmed in Sheffield South Yorkshire police attended almost 300 lockdown breaking incidents over the New Year weekend it’s a problem faced by many other forces resources are stretched anyway police officers Happ to travel to these places and deal with it but dly numbers of officers on the

    Street it’s a lot harder to do thism oners this Ming you all and I think the big problem we have I think lockdown has made the house party more appealing people want to do that more even when this is over people will still turn to the alcohol of the parties

    And get people around but in that then comes the problems Afterwards police emergency it’s 11:00 on Saturday night hello I’m just wondering if we can get your assistance at an address in Chef a call is coming in from a Yorkshire ambulance crew attending the scene of a party that’s gone wrong what did you going to so we

    Originally been out to a lady that’s been punched in the mouth um the attack was originally outside the house um there is serious bleeding she’s been hitting the head and T is now in the house that’s literally all we’ve got we’ve not even finished triag my colleagues really

    Struggling are you not you’re not on scene now no no we’re going to stand off just for cre safety they’re on the way keep going straight up PC’s Dell Owen and Craig Moore are dispatched to an estate near me Hall on the outskirts of Sheffield just come through from ambulance to say that

    There’s a girl who’s hysterical she say that she be hit in the face if there is even a mention of violence ambulance was Poli paramedics don’t wear stbs and paramedics don’t wear body comes so we’re there to protect the crew right Here initially we were running around frantically trying to find the address it’s like a rabbit Waring around there but I could hear what appeared to be a female screaming right love me there’s a girl outside with blood on her face and it wasn’t just on her face it’s all

    Down her Clos is everywhere jaw looked like it was broken and she was covered in blood what what else you at what else you at I couldn’t really get a lot out of her but she’s then pointing me down to the address whoever was inside that address was causing a lot of Distress it’s late Saturday night and PC’s D Owen and Craig Moore have responded to reports of a violent assault at a residential property just outside cheffield please there he him right there right there what’s all going off in here he is H your you a woman and you know you are

    All right look you want to step back when we turned out they were kids they were literally kids they were all drunk drinking straight vodka and they can’t handle their drink they were young than anyone what’s your name what happen going to blame on me when you

    More me I say it’s not even you they were really couldn’t string a sentence together the smell of alcohol coming from their dress was was quite pungent and the smell of alcohol coming from the two males inside de dress was was also quite pungent as well who is it is it

    Him who’s done all this yes right you’re under arrest on Su section 47 assault so you don’t have to say anything but may harm you we’ll just come back and speak to you something which lat in cour anything you do say may be given evidence all

    Right 74 T we’ve also got a female here with what looks like a significant wound to the uh to the inside of her mouth them girls were pretty shocked there were you could tell that there was in a lot of distress right you sit there for

    Me okay are you all right with him yeah yeah yeah let me leave you with let me put the fine promise check on her I’m going to go check on her right for best evidence I’m going to have to take some photos of your jaw all right all

    Right I used to go to my friends for a few drinks every now and again it weren often so when we did we went all out and had a big drink big sash as they call it what have you had to drink tonight just I feel safer to drink at someone’s house

    And I W if for out uh you wear so many stories of what happens when you’re in town when people get inspired people getting hurt your stuff getting stolen I think that’s why I find it safer it On’s home how did he do it just swinging and then got jaw right

    Right I know I know I know we went to shop got a couple of bottles of vodka um we were drinking having a smoke we were all on a level and feeling nice it started off that way for the first couple of bottles and they were

    Like got on the third bottle and it was commotion the other guy I’ve never met him before in my life so I wouldn’t sharing my FS or anything with him I think that’s maybe what’s triggered it they didn’t like it I’m trying to tell you I haven’t okay I I

    Promise on my little sisters well we’ll get to the bottom of it pal won’t we that that’s when I noticed the changing I could see you getting angry nastier and it just violently attacked me I were looking down at my phone there and I just a him jumped down looked up

    And he kind of punched me off guard split my lip out straight through end of the day I I’ve turned up there’s a female outside with with a significant injury to her to her mouth yeah and then there’s another female that’s come outside who who’s incredibly

    Upset and she’s also got blood all over her yeah it’s a meaningful act hitting somebody in the face you’re meant to do it there’s no it’s not like a a push where you’re trying to get somebody away from you it’s it’s a pretty violent act

    To to deliver a punch to the side of somebody’s jaw with so much force that that suspect it might be broken I listening to I I’ve locked up for assault a minute but I don’t know don’t care me all right theyve all just got hammered on vodka she’s been twatted by idiot she’s

    Potentially got a broken jaw oh [ __ ] I mean it is dangerous to go to a flat or a house with people you don’t know and drink alcohol how are you supposed to know what they’re going to be like when they’ve had a drink it could go wrong with to you this as to this the first potential witness

    Keeps falling asleep on the sofa so we’re not going to get a statement out of her um and the other one is all also equally as hammered um so we’re going to have to just take it up to custody and then just work out after that if they

    Had been sat in a bar they’d all have been asked to leave especially him he’d have been asked to leave first um but no one was there to regulate it no one was there to tell him you had a bit too much mate you stop um so they just carried on how

    Big big big big I think they had the perfect recipe for the worst night ever what’s been going off tonight just AR a little after officers broke up the Romanians party everyone went home quietly you can’t stop here now cuz we’ve had nice complaints this has got

    To start no further action was taken against the cousins who had a fight list to me home it took officers an hour to get all the arguing family members off the streets of rotheram and into cabs we can together Irene remains a devoted Elvis Family no further action was taken against the man arrested at the drunken house party nor did officers ever find out who had hit the man with a bruised face up and stop wearing the public place Shane who argued with his girlfriend and broke the wing mirror off a

    Home pleas emergency yeah absolutely going crazy I’ve asked him to get out yeah I’ve him to get out he won go yeah he’s going absolutely kids these days they don’t have respect for parents anymore when I was a teenager I used to chat back at my mom and i’ slam doors

    But my dad would have gate me for being the gobby team we know not to do it again what’s he doing you say he’s going crazy what is actually doing Ki off with his mother threatening swear doing this doing that screaming must yeah we got so many calls from

    Parents that are desperate for us Out she put the stairs with the full I don’t bu your she going to do me I’ve got a teenager I know what it’s like it’s an absolute nightmare they think that you’re wrong they’ve got an answer for everything I’m not having the top of stairs that me and my child stairs I

    Feel in the nearly 15 years I’ve been doing the job this has become a much larger issue she okay all right parents generally can’t handle the child they’re scared of them they become very hard to manage the parents just don’t know what to do missing for the next days don’t

    [ __ ] emergency yeah can I have an officer to come out please what’s happening it’s 9:30 on Saturday night in Sheffield Myro and threat toit me the right okay is he still there now yeah yeah just bear with me I’m got Trav all right so we got 15y old kid yeah fall

    Out with his brother smash the TV up PC’s Nathan waro and Tom cassley are dispatched to the mother’s address it’s not ideal though is it we 15-year-old no it’s not it’s not ideal for parents either don’t need cops coming with blue lights on to a 15-year-old how just got

    Told to my nak told didn’t he I know I was absolutely FR today the alternative really yeah we go to incidents like this a lot when I joined the police this isn’t what I had in mind this isn’t what I was expecting to be doing but you more and more see parents losing

    Control that’ll be him upstairs I’ll got have a chat with it just oh yeah you just stay down here Sor have a word with what’s happened he been in my room took that Telly out cuz he’s brought the Telly downstairs right put it in his

    Room I take it back out cuz it doesn’t belong to him he’s coming punched it come in and punched it and then starts punching up walls slamming up doors kicking off okay all right just come in and my TV that’s a shame what’s happened after that have you got

    Got upset about it CU you were telling me something wait for listening to whatever whatever come taking my phone off grab my phone else it and have you done that oh no he was upset upset about the way that he was being treated at home nothing

    Uncommon for a kid that age but I think because she’s unable to punish the child effectively herself she passes that to us I don’t want him in the house scared scared of him being in the house she normally is misbehaving where do you normally take him or where is he does he

    Go anywhere else don’t we just have to put up with it you just have to put up with it is there any other family or anything would go to but nearby what about your mom and your dad what about any sisters or brothers you’ve got none so there’s no

    One else that he can go and stay with so we can get this dealt with there’s no one at all obviously with his age with him being 15 if we’ve got nowhere else to take him we’ll have to take him to custody is there nowhere else we can

    Talk nowhere else I’ve sugared it for way too long now enough now the mother told us she wanted him arresting I mean he’s 15 we don’t want to arrest a child uh unnecessarily but where there’s nowhere else for him to be we have to take him

    With us or the situation will get worse so I’m gonna caution you so you don’t have to say anything but it may on your defense if you’re not mention when question something which you later in court anything you do say may be given NE we’ll talk about it at the police

    Station okay station cuz he need to come abely nowhere else nowhere else he wants to be a big man with the big man World I talking to you just go wa upstairs go wa upstairs stop arguing with a 15-year-old I’ll speak to you later felt sorry for him as a 15-year-old you you’ve got lots of anxieties and and angers anyway uh to then be arrested would have made him

    Feel like nobody wants him but I think calling the police was probably the only thing that she had available to do I don’t think she did it to be vindictive we The Last Resort sometimes for people like Her near Jack Daniels near Jack Daniels right reing anything else mate right we’ll be uh we’ll be back I felt very uncomfortable arresting and taking a 15 old child’s custody just holding on to you mate well we we don’t if we believed everyone that said that we’d have a few

    People missing custody can shot people in a good way so it can frighten people to the point where no I’m not going to do that again all right jump in mate but 15 16 in informative years this is the time where you’re going to be affected the

    Most the STI of being arrested of going to custody it has potential to set the tone if you’re going to treat me like a criminal I’ll be a criminal it’s really sad and there’s no Winners it’s 10 p.m. at Sheffield custody just go up to this door just follow na mate I’ll follow you number two please a 15-year-old boy has been brought in for punching his mom’s TV he’s uh been arrested today for criminal damage his mother believed that if he

    Was staying there he would continue to kick off and cause further damage in the property so I’m authorizing you to be detained so we can interview you can you read them right okay you can’t read right you interview you’re going to have to have an appropriate adult okay so if

    You can’t get somebody from family we’ll have to get somebody in for you all right when we deal with kids at custody they need an appropriate adult just to be there to make sure that you know they understand what is going on and what has been explained to them yeah yeah just

    Show your jacket tonight in some cases we have children coming in to us we’re calling up family members and they don’t want to uh come in to help their son pretty sure there absolutely no nobody you can think of that would Come was he involved at all well your mom have a contact for for your dad Yeah the children are then having to stay overnight in custody because we can’t find an appropriate adult until they staff come on your shoes off shoes got gles on I wish there was some else that we could have done as opposed to just bringing a child into custody it’s not a place for

    Children but in the downfalls of available more appropriate Services we increasingly regularly have no choice like a sausage and match sausage and match I’ll bring you that you want to drink with it water no all right I’ll come back and see you that with no alternative for the boy but

    To spend the night in the cell P sees waro and cley head back to his mother’s house to take a formal statement she’s actually made me quite angry I just can’t believe that her behavior with her son then coming down big after yeah this is going to be an interesting conversation hello

    In so he’s with us where’s he going to go when we release him right so he’s going to be homeless you’re not happy to have him back no it’s on too long now okay we’re going to have to get into Social Services then find alternative accommodation end of

    Day I’ve got two of kids to to safeguard at the same time so if I keep saying yeah I’m not safeguarding them at the same time the time he said you wanted to Pro to the statement do you still feel that way yeah we need to

    Do that now yeah been having issues for how long uh four years he don’t go to school he gets excluded he goes to school climb through Windows teachers Tak him to an inclusion Center he jumps out car while she’s driving it he said 17 interventions one child

    Has 17 interventions are not gets any better MH as a police officer we can always tell when something else is going on we just have to sometimes keep probing that what’s actually happened here why is she acting like this would you like to add a big personal statement

    Yeah is about how emotionally it’s affected you how it’s affected your life how it’s affecting your day today I can’t describe the feeling the only way is like last week to you could see that his mom was at the end of a t she was desperate are you getting Help are you willing for us to try and get you some help if you’re feeling like that hold back counsel are you happy for us to put any referrals in for you yeah okay you could see why she called us you’re right I think she must have tried

    Numerous ways of dealing with him but when people call 999 usually it’s the last result and I think this was the last result reason make sure you’re happy with it you need five minutes are you’re all right this it does wear you down it really does there’s only so many ways you can

    Deal with it you can try shouting you can try screaming you can try being calm you can try ignoring in him but sometimes you do you do need that extra help I think it’s important that she’s now actually understood the importance issue a child’s locked up right rightly

    And that obviously it has been causing a great deal of misery but it’s serious isn’t it exactly Serious M was right to call us it was a good time for police to get involved he’s 50 Dean he’s very angry we’ve got concerns for him and we could try and help him but there’s young kids in the address if he’s happy to smash a TV it could

    Escalate you’ve always got teenagers that are going to rebel against the parents but teenagers that are rebelling to the point where they are committing criminal offenses is an issue and South yoria definitely bunch of kids br bre into a Church apparently Lucy said somebody got arrested at her school yesterday and put in cups and put in the police car you leaving Police emergency help me Please I need help please at least every shift I’ll get a call from a parents saying that the child’s been vient towards them where is your son now oh oh well hello some kids of feral they’re smashing the house up he’s threatening me with a knife he’s threatening me with

    A kitchen scissors police statistics from across the country reveal that reported incidents of child on parent abuse have doubled in recent years it’s in the is it me of me the parents tell us they feel powerless they don’t know what to do you can hear the emotion in the voice

    You can tell the desperate and and they genuinely need help there’s parents all over South Yorkshire that are scared of the Kids please emergency it’s 8:00 on Sunday evening attack is dad what caused this to L some M because we both told him no that’s what started it off what did he do well he was um threatening to get us kill and then he Lally R to kitchen and attacked his

    D killed light straight over keep going for the second time in just three days PC’s waro and cley are dispatched to help parents struggling with their child’s Behavior I have seen child on parent violence increase I’d say it’s something we come across on a week by we basis it’s going

    To be about four or five hours down on the left mate I’ve had 14year olds with knives threatening mom and dad because she wants a phone back to boys that won £10 for a video game there we go that’ll be our lad I think the biggest problem

    We have um bringing up the young is setting the boundaries and being f that if that boundary is reached that they will be dealt with and I don’t think there’s so much of that Nowadays which then means that when they do become teenagers they have no fear of consequence should we going sit in the back of my car right so what exactly is happening tonight he’s been up form we M smoking his usual weed he’s got no respect he’s asked for 20 quick because

    We told him no basically they flipped right try breaking window right and K he to kill you he said that tonight if he said he’s going to kill you worried that he will then we need to lock him up has he said that tonight said that tonight based on

    That we’re going to be arrested him as a police officer you have to take threats seriously this child had previously put a knife to his dad’s neck the risk in letting him go anywhere other than custody would be if he did come back to that address with a set of

    Matches petrol and set that place on fire if that’s going to happen we’ not done his job properly got some news to break to you mate uh based on what’s been said you’re currently under arrest on suspicion of threats to kill and also threats to

    Cause damage so I need to tell you that you don’t have to say anything but it may arm your defense if you don’t mention when question something which you lat to rely on in court anything you do say may be given evidence just jump out for Me and take your hands out your pockets it’s all right I’m not here to scare you check your man wa bumper Happy Days back in back in for Us the 16-year-old will now be taken to custody to explain his actions you’re not frightened of police and that and getting in trouble with police and stuff is it not scare you no you that’s worrying that mate it’s really worrying when I was a kid I was [ __ ]

    Always been just me and him we were very close very very close and it was me and him against the will for a long time where it felt that way when he started suffering with mental illness he started saying quite vile things to me that just weren’t true

    But he’s so fixated on um and that’s when I realized just how serious it might be they rang me at 700 in the morning and still agitated still saying things like that so start ringing me and then he R again halfway and that was the last

    I heard and then he just turned up again he saying that I was raped and I was on drugs and that I I was bored so decided to be a prostitute are you very frightened yeah of what I don’t know what they do it is unpredictable it’s

    Unpredictable yeah can’t let him in cuz I don’t know what he’ll do he isn’t a bad bad person he doesn’t mean to hurt people but aggression when it’s aimed at me doesn’t make me feel scared right so there’s no offenses but she says that you’ve turned up three times

    Yesterday and she doesn’t want you to turn up anymore okay so she wants me to tell you she wants me to tell you not to come back okay so if you do come back you’re going to get into trouble please can I talk to her she do want to speak

    Unfortunately with your dad and don’t come back tonight do you understand what I’m saying don’t come back yet tonight cuz he will get locked up then I must have sat through over a thousand meetings with different professionals um over the years is it the supported living where we live

    Yes however when the change from Child Services to Adult Services there is a big drop off there’s not as much available and it’s harder to get I think that is where we really hit the wall it’s up to you I mean if you don’t want

    To speak to him then I would he’s with his Dad what the police what happened what happened nothing happened What you start ringing me I’ll just turn off you if he turns back up just give us a ring and um like I say he’ll probably end up getting arrested if he keeps coming back I just wanted to stop for until he calms down and then I can talk

    To him with somebody that I’m not having I can’t it TS you into as a mother you you just want to hold your child and and stop them being upset but then you’re scared of them you have to push them away and they hate you for

    It and I hate myself that I had to do that I feel like the worst more in the World I can’t ever imagine being scared of my own child I can’t blame her for not cutting all ties she’s going to keep doing what she can as I think any parent would I don’t think parenting ever ends to say it just goes through different phases uh of your

    Ahead lady she started ring food in my face want in northamptonshire a decade of austerity has seen a steady rise in cors and call handlers say there are more reports about the pressures of living in shared accommodation what are you stay in your room because what we

    Don’t want is this to escalate and cause more problems home life has changed for so many people now isn’t it because people are renting more you’re sharing accommodation you know you might just be renting a room in a house and there are more issues because you’re trying to

    Live with people that you probably got nothing in common with lot of people there they smoke weeds low your music people couldn’t even sleep okay home is the place where you go you shut your door and you get about the world around you the day you’ve had you put your

    Comfies on sit on the sofa with a glass of wine and it is your place there are a lot of people out there living in places where their house isn’t their safe place I have a lodger who’s getting quite bent I’ve asked him to leave yeah and all he’s doing is

    Shouting v f off and all the rest the condition that some people have to live in are awful there’s a person that lives underneath me yeah and um they’re just banging on the walls they’re just banging anywhere okay space is definitely the thing that everyone’s after if you don’t have the space you

    Have people living on top of each other and that’s where the problem happens it’s the early hours of Sunday morning police emergency a tenant is calling about a fight in a large house share we’ been inside they start fight okay how many people are in there there

    Are three or four so these people with the night look they came in they they are can right now yes we will be traveling out an emergency Okay we haven’t got an idea on no because he’s not giving us anything PC’s louiso Sullivan and sha wheen are dispatched to the house share known as a House of multiple occupancy or HMO you on the phone to the police you are can you describe the person with the

    Knife tell me house may yeah there’s quite a few hmos Northampton usually quite a large house with you a good few rooms in there with maybe a couple of bathrooms and a shared kitchen and you’ll get people from all different walks of life so it could be someone

    Who’s just moved to the UK who’s just got their first job and just needs somewhere to to bed down at night it could be someone who’s lost their home you got different personalities different characters different beliefs hello how you doing guys now I come in thank you very much

    Much who’s who’s got the knife no one’s got a knife hello sir how you doing so how have you got these injuries this guy right dude would you mind waiting outside here for a minute with my colleague yeah just watch him Lou he might be a suspect if people are living

    In that close proximity all the time it just takes that little extra just to tip people over the edge to me we can K you ton to me who have you seen hit him with what with bottle do these people live the Somalian chaps do they live in here yes okay you

    Got IDE as well yeah there are four men living in the house two East African and two Albanian the man who’s been injured is a friend of one of the Albanian tenants the majority of people I’ve seen in HMR are usually young single men I think it’s easier for a lady with

    Children to find a home through the council whereas for a man I think it’s a lot tougher the waiting list is bigger what’s actually happened yeah Yeah and this one i’ just seen him throw something but he was too quick yeah so basically throwing a bottle in your face yeah if I’d have been glassed in the face I’d be probably trying to get down to a A&E Department quickly not just sitting there you know continuing

    On having a beer with my buddies you [ __ ] pie of [ __ ] [ __ ] off look [ __ ] look mate now which person here is it well yeah that one the one with his back to the wall the curly hair okay let’s just get him out here quickly before it escalates at the moment you’re under

    Arrest and susp of obh anything you do so may be given an Evidence you understand yeah yeah let’s just jump outside mate get you out of here so you’re under arrest at a minute on suspicion of abh in here is that his record show that the number of hmos

    In Britain has nearly trebled since 2013 I’m a landlord and I’ve owned the property for over 10 years and a number of other hmos across the town as rent increases my HMO tenants canot afford to pay for a one-bedroom flat which will be £7 800 a month they can get a HMO for

    Say £400 a month with all their bills included it makes it a lot more affordable for people do you need to tell friends of you I need to do my job I’ve dealt with people working long hours um for not great pay people working throughour contracts their employment gives them no stability and

    Then they come home to a HMO um and they’re sharing that accommodation their whole lifestyle is quite challenging inevitably sometimes things booil over in this circumstances it’s the police that have to come out and resolve bit lives in a multiple occupancy address he’s been having problems with this

    Person over the past week so he’s grabbed a glass and thrown it at this Chap’s head if they don’t resolve the differences how does that issue then resolve itself is the landlord going to step in and decide right I’m going to I’m I’m going to ask you to move out and

    You can stay and they’re in a tency agreement we’re going to move to your waistband now okay unfortunately people are left with a choice do they move she lose your deposit because bloing TOS doing your heading that is one of the downsides of hmos if you’re a young single guy and

    You don’t have enough to buy a house or rent a house as a whole the chances are if you’ve got no family and friends to help you you’re going to end up somewhere in a HMO this his first time in custody so have a little sleep before

    I you you got a blanket and a pillow nice soft pillow There you know I was quite disappointed with my kiwi I have to say coach just told me that you can eat the skins for kiwi but why would you want that texture I’m going to how would you yeah you can’t eat the Skins try it I’m not eating the

    Skin a little bit of fur thing on your tongue you used to it you’re right over the last year rents have increased Nationwide and there’s been a 13% rise in rented households letting rooms to lodges to make ends meet I need on my house my won let me out of the house

    He’s locking me in what do you mean he’s locked you in house prices and living cost are so high and more people are having to rent out their rooms or houses as a source of income why won’t he let you out because I behind on payment I can’t make the

    Payment so he won’t let me out now when people rent rooms in their own places it’s when tensions start to flare hi um one of our tences smash the windows in so you’ve evicted him have you girl staying with me she’s Ming at my partner the door up the partner’s

    Face basically she’s taking a piss out of me excuse my French in my parents’ generation they could easily buy a house I’m in the generation but you’re still stuck in a catch 22 how can I get out of my rented property trying to live trying to pay my

    Rent and trying to survive my son’s refusing to leave my house he wants to borrow money I haven’t got any money but now he’s in the bathroom refusing to leave you’re not leaving my house society’s making it so difficult for people to get on that property ladder that unfortunately rent problems that

    Are nothing to do with the police are becoming our problem because people are kicking off oh hi yes I need please please I’m being um wrongfully evicted by my um landlord being violent going to with the hammer how many of them are there it’s basally two of them so they were stood

    Outside or were they in the flat with you when they take you in this Hammer they okay they’re going to get one and and come through the door with it all right you do lot we have officers with you surely thank you very much which man has this hammer on his

    Possession has it been seen or has it just been mentioned yeah copy less than 10 minutes after they were called PC sha wheen and Nina Korean arrive on the scene hello you right may I come in yes M who are you I’m the the house you are yeah who’s attendant at the moment

    Just where where is he he’s in the room get out the house okay apparently the GU upstairs barricade himself in the room so do you two guys live here I live here yeah yeah and uh who’s this this my father okay hello Poli hello you want to put that down

    Mate good lad can you get the door open what made you call the police today because they were going to get a hammer uh they were banging and crashing on the on the wall shouting like threatening stuff um and and they said they’re going to get hammer and start smashing through

    The door they wanted to check me outside all my stuff all my equipment um I was terrified that they were they were very hostile they were um leing threats through the door having a living landlord and just one of two tenants it’s more personal throughout the years

    And off I’ve rented out my spare bedroom um just to help me a little bit financially that changed the whole dynamic of how I was living having strangers in my house and that took a lot of getting used to it there was one of two individuals who I eventually had

    To H they had to go they just weren’t tidy they were pretty disgusting in some cases and it just wasn’t working out so I said look I pay you 100 that I needed some for food you know and um they said no that’s not enough you must leave I

    Said okay um but then I said if I if I leave I need the1 to find another place to can go basically those two of the landlord they live here he simply rents his spare rooms they are living landlords there’s no contract in place so as far as I’m

    Aware technically if they want to evict him they can he’s been here about five six weeks in total yeah I think he prepaid for the first two and since then he’s not paid a penny and they just literally had enough of him and I think the the threat came from he said I’ll

    Take the door off as in I remove the door from the hinges I do believe them it’s just a matter if they want him to go she’s not paying I spent last year staying with a friend he was getting custody of his daugh so I had to leave and I was

    Working in a temporary job that all of a sudden finished straight away so I moved into this place and I gave him a promise to pay back the money when I got a job I remember going out all day long looking for a job each day and I was so

    Depressed and I managed it I got the job clinical Center and I really liked it everything was going well but my whole first week’s money got stolen out of my account I lost £200 now that2 200 I promised to my landlord the problem that we have is you’re kind of in their house

    And they don’t want you here your rights are quite Limited at the moment I’m not very good at doing stuff like this I need to I guess it’s kind of how I’m vulnerable I’m not very organized Josh don’t don’t get upet stress it’s all right I left a home uh 18 I’ve always

    Lived in shared accommodation I can’t knock the upbringing I had I went to private school when I was 22 uh I met a girl we were together 9 years we rented a flat for quite a few years my girlfriend wanted to become a mother and I felt

    Deep down it wasn’t the right thing for me at the time when she left me and she said I don’t know how you going to cope on your own J since that time I I have gone a bit Wayward you’re not coping too well are you and I’m I’m looking around

    And this room and obviously you know your clothes and you’re quite you know shaky and yeah I don’t no the goodness on my heart I’ve took him in and helped him out and for to do this to me you know and I can’t don’t it’s just from our point of view

    He’s he’s a vulnerable guy do you want to come down and should we speak to the landlord and see if we can move this forward for you and what I’m concerned about is if we if we remove too quickly where are you going to go and then you’ll become more vulnerable won’t you

    I yeah yeah that’s my biggest concern okay what we need to do is obviously between you come up with a plan A Way Forward here okay the thing is to me he’s quite vulnerable him him cuz he’s had no food not a lot I said to him help yourself to

    Have food I’m not going to say no I appreciate that You’re expect me to do that every week for you no I’m not going to keep doing it Josh can’t afford to stolen enough me that’s nothing to do with me is it I’m in a difficult position myself yeah

    Everybody is both of you are really I’m paying overheads for the house my own self and I’m not paying for you simple if you’re a landlord you’re renting a room out you know you need the money to to live and you’ve got someone not paying you then it kind of comes down to

    You’re supporting someone else aren’t you how can I move find find out with another room I’ve got no money to move in with if I can possibly find someone I’ll get out the landlord is a good guy he did help me out he helped me when I

    Was in trouble if they just be a to just be a bit more patient I would have paid them back everything so what what do you think’s reasonable here I said if he gives me50 he can stay till he three weeks you know I mean I’m

    Los out there at the end day so potentially if Josh is up for it we can get you down to the kingt front now in our car yeah make you got some suitable clothing on you and we can do that of course if you want to yeah see what if

    You go and put some trousers on buddy cuz you got a Ripp in those ones yeah and then uh that’ll be fine for the weekend yeah we’ll wait for you outside yeah but looking at him in there he can barely look after himself he can you

    Know he he he seriously needs some help mentioned about his family his mom and dad and his sisters has you got anyone no he’s got nobody in a way I felt guilty bringing Jos to get the cash out because it wasn’t a police decision to make people get some

    Money out to pay a landlord did you get the money yeah I’ve got the money so good work okay awesome let’s go back to the house yeah we’ll get you back into your room get you back into bed nice and cozy the easy thing would have been just

    To say Jos you need to leave the landlord wants you out and just watch him go but it wouldn’t have sat right with me to see that hello guys so there’s the50s for the weekend um hopefully he can get himself sorted in the meantime however I really hope I

    Haven’t got to come back here I don’t want to have to come back here again yeah no arguing no funny business we’ve got an arrangement excellent bye ultimately we’re all like one paycheck away from potentially being homeless I know I am anyway positive outcome I suppose they’re shaking hands the money’s been

    Exchanged and uh he said he’s willing to store his stuff in the house until he finds somewhere else I’m just hoping to survive this when I can get back on my feet and get a place of my own I think I’ll be much better equipped for

    Survival well I hope I am I hope I’ve learned something it’s just after 99 in the morning in ketering common sense people jeez oh it’s not difficult is it PC’s Debbie wishart and Max spittlehouse are battling the rush hour traffic they don’t know how to get out the way they

    Sometimes like we had a lot of drug users a lot of Alcoholics and there’s always going to be attention at one point or another I’m not to kick off because I’m sorry not to be rude but I don’t think I’m in the wrong you’re me getting me getting

    Aggravated mate while the suspect is taken to custody to be questioned the officers are alerted to another incident involving the victim she will have to come in as well she’s a a burglar was reported yesterday for her because it’s been alleged that you’ve entered through a lock through a

    Locked door and and stolen a chicken KF I need to inform you that at this time you are under arrest on suspicion of burglary of that room okay after 16 years of doing this job that was one to remember and I think that will live with me for quite some

    While that’s to young man Yeah no thank you I was 9 years old when I moved over to the UK I think I got bullied because of being from a different country buling got so bad for me I didn’t want to speak to anybody it just made things worse for me ended up moving out of my parents

    Even though I love my mom and I love my stad like to pie so I lived in k for a while then I moved to another place then I got put into hostel Stu the last two years I’ve moved countless times I don’t even remember because I just stopped keeping

    Track it’s probably like six times so I got a sofa a TV in there to play my video games on I think that like makes it a little bit nicer for you as well that little room is just where I live and no one else like it’s my

    Home right let’s have a look and see what we’ve captured PC’s wishart and spittle house review the CCTV footage of the arrested woman’s alleged burglary here she comes straight in there doesn’t even knock put a frozen KF down a bra she goes back to her room and she

    Of the chicken K I didn’t eat the chicken K consumed alcohol take any other drugs I’m an alcoholic I haven’t had Sh that’s not nerves I was doing well I was clean i’ got myself off all opiate but I was drinking and that’s what led to me being arrested basically I’m not pain I’m not going to run off please half the cigarette and I’ll be done please let me have a cigarette

    Please you can’t have a cigarette why there no cigarettes calm down well I can smoke in the hostel no you can’t you under arrest me then we will and I have my Cigarette what I didn’t mean I didn’t me take my I grew up in a very po era of cing we lived in a bungalow and my mother always kept it lovely like she worked hard my ex partner lived with us and we had nice things was having foreign holidays

    Had a child dog I always had a car things were good I didn’t leave home until I was 24 my M actually had house repossessed when my M lost a home yeah I fell apart that was when I started probably using drugs more I was a functioning drug addict as they say

    I met my new partner he was a full-blown drug addict and then we started using drugs together we lost the house we lost the children that was when we got put in temporary accommodation he got then sent to jail so I was left on my own and had to

    Defend myself for the first time ever he’s admitted that he’s assaulted you okay that he’s you and because he has admitted it we’ve decided that the best way to go ahead is to caution him for assaulting you okay the persons that are living in these addresses don’t need just a roof

    Over their head they need help with their mental health they need help with their alcohol they need help with their drugs because I got arrested I was immediately evicted and then the counselor said that I made myself intentionally homeless because I gotr everyone says oh he reached the bottom

    The only way that that’s not true the bottom just keeps getting deeper and deeper this is a form you can read in relation to what a caution is you obviously should you apply for certain jobs Northampton Council in particular have run out of money there have been so

    Many cuts that the agencies that used to assist us are no longer available all right then as a society you’ve got to think to yourself how have we let this happen it’s Sunday morning and after a few days leave PC Sam kulo and Tony Salis are back on shift you do want you

    Of duck egg blue bit of mustard blush pink in the bedroom so um yeah it’s going Good the officers are called to assist with the pre-planned arrest of a prolific burglar they believe is staying with a local drug user so where’s the back that we’re covering next BL yeah Sergeant Tony cotton is in charge of the operation we needed to arrest the suspect and we were looking for clothing

    Because there was some CCTV footage which um was quite specific in terms of the clothing Defender was wearing so please can you come to the door please hello mate I’m not a criminal no no I’m anyone what is this it happened two days ago where tell more later the reason you

    Necessary for to effec investigation loss Okay we’re looking for mobile phones um and looking for gloves we went there to arrest someone for straightforward job but the reality is things change very quickly and all of a sudden you’re you’re caught up in something very different don’t want to really get my knees on the floor to

    Honest with you’s home it’s a sure sign um what indicators how how their life actually is being lived and it was obvious the homeowner is quite vulnerable the first got the keys into the FL the it was lovely it was a home Lo of needles down there sealed

    Needle caps you’ve got needle boxes disposed them got the blooded tissue it’s just all linked to heroin abuse there needles everywhere yeah drawers are just full of needles aren’t they I I like to have lived a normal life but it hasn’t turned out that way do you have a mobile or anything no

    I’m 41 now I’ve been 4 her about 20 years now when you’re needing it every day it becomes the most important thing in the world just EDI Calla how long do you live with you for um since beginning of January does he actually get paid to be a car of you

    Yeah what is it with asking stroke stroke yeah what’s your Mobility like you s me walking around M that’s right what sort of care does he I think he’s fa on that yeah my suspicions were on higher people hear the term King is a process of drug gangs finding vulnerable residents and

    Effectively inviting themselves into the premises and then and then taking over and running their drug dealing Enterprises from from these addresses still got a key to my those that come victim of King they’re really trapped in in that fear of I can’t shout out for

    Help because as soon as I do that I’m in trouble by these players that were in my house and sometimes in life that’s already sort of in doubts and struggling and it’s just getting hammered down even further what what benefits you get I get

    About 470 a month pip Y and about 200 in fortnite ASA and then you get cars on top of that yeah which is 65 a week so effectively you got you got £900 next spent the month yeah and I’m not being fun you’ve got the bug RS to show for it

    In here I know honestly okay how much how much are you spending on drugs yourself probably about a month yeah pretty much yeah not a great deal this particular lad was a a massively prime target for the kakura really because of his disabilities his benefits were incredibly generous unless

    You’re smashing at drugs which you tell me you’re not it must be going somewhere you can’t get out very often makes him a target for the the pr are praying on him because not only can they have his accommodation they’ve also got his benefits as well you just seen quite an

    Attractive proposition to someone in one second do you what I mean my concern is that these idiots that were thought to be your friends and you carers they helping themselves to drugs out of your money i’ def I’ve definitely been a soft tou in my life people take micke house

    Still it’s R my life to be honest have you self har J no have had any thoughts to yeah I don’t know I went down the path of drugs to be honest just peer pressure my child was pretty good I can’t complain about it never went in for anything my mom was

    A secretary my dad was a fireman yeah I suppose he was a bit to me when I was a kid just don’t want to be around anymore wish this CH had killed me to be honest when I was 14 and 15 I started in a food joint and then they progress to the

    Harder stuff A friend of mine introduced me to heroin and I didn’t realize how addictive it was this was never a home this was never a flat that was anything other than a Shooting Gallery A drugs Den uh you know whatever you want to call it it was a

    Place where people went and took drugs just having a roof heavy head it doesn’t mean you’ve got a home James you falling behind on the council taxs yeah what are they doing with that mate they going to Chuck you out or something I pay half and they told me

    They didn’t want one you end up being made homeless because you know you do realize that don’t you it’ll cost you everything I think we’ll submit an adult Safeguard before for you I think you need some help mate and I think you have been taking advantage on a little bit

    You’re not a well man this is not Health environment that’s it for you to be it in do you want to go to the hospital with us um yeah his flat was the last thing he he had he’s now potentially out on the streets there you go we’re not always

    That bad are we no we’re not If You’re vulnerable sometimes they don’t have much else other than the walls that they live in you got anyone else we can get in contact with you just on your own and sort of take that away from from people it can be

    Devastating and it can really cause a downward spiral if you just move across this way I’ll put your seat off you not a problem it’s 900 p.m. on Friday in Northampton police emergency a call is coming in from a homeless shelter the final Refuge for those who

    Fail to find a bed for the night I’m calling from yes we go on one of the guy coming and then the guy is drunk pleas allowed to come in and he’s trying to threaten the stuff is that him at the background yes stay away from him on TR

    All right yeah now he’s going out anyway that’s fine I’m coming okay PC’s louiso Sullivan and Lauren L shawi are dispatched to The Refuge I come here tonight I’m yeah I come to get my head down do mean I’m sick his head mean I went in and had a Wash I just want somewhere warm for once you know sick of just waking up Cold or Waking Up alone I think that’s the worst thing about being homeless is is loneliness from what I understand you’re banned from being in I’m not banned that’s what they’re telling us tell now

    Look on record I’m not B well they’re telling us at now right say nothing wrong I come out prison been up 5 years been home for about two two 3 years on and off going to prison you got a roof of you a day 6 month a year two

    Years four years 5 years whatever it is you still got the problem when you come out because there’s nothing there for people all right what should go to Bear when you’re on the streets you don’t drink to get drunk you’re drinking to forget where you are and what what the

    Hell You’ been through up with them are you going to be all right these are FRS FRS if don’t have a home you can’t build nothing you can’t go to work every day living in the tent been there tried up can’t have a bath you can’t have a

    Shower you can’t eat probably yeah being home as a drug all I want to do is go get head [ __ ] sleep I get it I get it let have a quick chat with my colleague if that’s all right I don’t know yet I need to speak to my colleague why you hope So um I think we’re going to have a public order at least um he’s gone in there apparently he’s been turned away cuz he’s strong and then apparently he’s been threatening to punch the security guard we meet people like Terence quite often people who literally have nothing

    They have no homes they have no family I think you know what’s happening don’t you it’s 2121 hours you’re currently under arrest right under suspicion of a section four public order do you understand that he’s got himself into a really bad situation a where you’re too drunk to

    Get your head down for a night in somewhere that’s safe so you end up being back on the streets and because you’re back on the streets you’re about drinking again and then you’re too drunk to get into the shelter the next night 2third of EX prisoners who end up

    Becoming homeless reoffend within a year of leaving prison hello Terry how are we so Terry has turned up at house tonight and he’s been refus ex because is specially drunk we have regular people that come through custody that want to get arrested and they will do anything they

    Can to get arrested have you got any jewelry or anything on Terry nothing oh right you want to take out apparently he’s got a penis bar do you want him to take it out I certain W taking it out it’s even got that bad that we’ve had officers assaulted by

    People just to get arrested they’ve rang in said they need the police the police turn up you know are you going to arrest me no and they get assaulted just so they get a roof over their heads and that can never be right right sure I’d say the housing situation

    Is in crisis and as a result of that there’s the mental health issues that come with that as well Terry just before I finish doing your rights I’ve got the paramedic behind me I want him to speak to you see he’s taking a concoction of drugs pregablin Codine Valium he’s drank

    A lot of alcohol he’s just fell backwards and he seems a bit unsteady right what we do L down for see how he progresses over the next half hour when I first left school I was working in a glass factory they all got Mar of dendon after two years that’s

    Where my life turned sour really my dad passed away he was my best mate growing up living with my dad and my granddad uh having them in my life uh made me feel wanted there’s days I wish I could go back to that just for that 10

    Minutes go and have a look and stare from a distance see where it all went wrong but you can’t go backwards you can only go forwards take STS off for me please man I think some people have gone too far from just needing housing um because
