Continuing from the British "Traffic Cops" (2003) reality, documentary, series, the modified name is due to a change of network, which has seen the series under a number of different names and networks. As an American, I found the series to be a fascinating look at the inner workings of various police forces in Great Britain. Unlike similar American cop, reality, documentary, series, the viewer is shown a recurring group of police as they patrol the streets of various towns in Great Britain. Also, the viewer is treated to the post-arrest jailing, and, in most cases, even told the outcome of the arrests, which American series rarely do. Viewers not only get a chance to get to know a few British cops, we see how the British law enforcement system works, not only for traffic issues, but, also, for alcohol- and drug-related, issues, and, sometimes, immigration issues, et al. We also see how the public reacts, sometimes with humor, sometimes with violence. It is also amazing that most of the British cops rarely use firearms or weapons of any kind. Viva la difference!
