The real line of duty

The ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳'s Tom Symonds has exclusive access to two new Metropolitan Police teams focused on catching criminals in uniform – and changing the culture within the force.

Line of Duty portrays a fictional police anti-corruption team. But whilst the dishonesty, deceit and deception rooted out by AC-12 might be a little far-fetched - in real life the reputation of the police is in the balance.

It's been rocked by the murder of Sarah Everard by Wayne Couzens - a serving police officer - and it’s facing growing allegations of abusive and unprofessional behaviour by officers.

Tom Symonds, the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳’s Home Affairs Correspondent, has been given exclusive access to two brand new Metropolitan Police teams – that have the ultimate aim of catching criminals in uniform – and changing the culture within the force. This is 5 Minutes On - the real line of duty.
