About This Program

The show is an episode‑style programme that follows a team of specially trained police officers as they carry out high‑risk interventions. It concentrates on the practical side of law‑enforcement work, presenting viewers with real‑world scenarios that demand quick thinking and coordinated action. In one segment the officers focus on a four‑wheel‑drive vehicle that is being driven in a hazardous manner through the streets of Basildon. Their objective is to bring the reckless driver to a halt before the situation escalates further, and they employ the tactics and equipment that their specialised training provides. Another part of the episode sees the same unit tracking down a vehicle masquerading as an ambulance. The fake ambulance is pursued with the aim of exposing the deception and preventing any misuse of emergency‑service privileges. Throughout the chase, the officers maintain pressure on the suspect while adhering to safety protocols. Both incidents are presented as separate but linked challenges within the programme, illustrating how these specially trained officers respond to dangerous driving and fraudulent use of emergency identifiers. The episode therefore gives a clear picture of the methods used to intervene in risky road situations and to protect public safety in Basildon.
