About This Program

On Patrol 24/7 is a television programme that presents a slice of life from the UK’s coastguard service. Each episode follows real‑world incidents, giving viewers a front‑row seat to the work carried out by the maritime rescue teams. The series is structured around individual cases, stitching together the day‑to‑day duties of the personnel who keep Britain’s waters safe. In this particular instalment a seemingly ordinary check turns out to be anything but routine. What begins as a standard procedure quickly escalates, leading to outcomes that catch both the crew and the audience off‑guard. The unexpected twist underscores how quickly a simple task can spiral into a serious situation on the water. Meanwhile, headquarters launch an inquiry into a dubious speedboat that has raised suspicions. The investigation focuses on the vessel’s movements and the reasons behind its questionable behaviour, with senior officers piecing together evidence to determine whether further action is required. This segment highlights the coordination between field teams and the central command centre when dealing with potentially illicit activity. The episode also follows coastguard teams as they respond to an alleged domestic‑violence incident. Officers are called to manage the delicate situation, ensuring the safety of those involved while adhering to protocol. Their handling of the case illustrates the breadth of responsibilities the service undertakes, extending beyond maritime emergencies to protect vulnerable individuals on shore.
