Essex: Police to star in documentary

A new television series following Essex Police as they combat crime around the county is currently being filmed.

Police enforcers is a six part Channel 5 documentary focusing on the county’s strategic operations unit as they respond to emergencies.

It will be presented by former detective and BBC Crimewatch star Ray Wilding.

Chris Lane, spokesman for the force, said: “We want to show the county’s taxpayers they are getting value for money from a police force which is active and effective.

“To show we respond to intelligence from the public which we are totally reliant on and show officers put themselves on the line.

“Police in Essex are involved at the cutting edge and have to take risks and face danger.

“We want to show we do this professionally and appropriately using a range of resources and are happy to take the lead for the benefit of residents.”

The show will first air on July 9 at 8pm and run weekly.

The specialist team are called to incidents where extra officers are needed.

It may be to help on raids, executing warrants or stopping drug supply. It can involve traffic related problems, organised crime and a whole host of other duties involving putting officers on the line.

Filming is expected to last for another six weeks.
