“Neither Mat Davidson’s ambient score nor Steven Mackinstosh’s mellifluous narration could calm the viewers nerves. This was a good programme about a bad situation.” – Andrew Collins, The Guardian
“A valuable insight into life on the frontline” – Ellen E Jones, Independent
“This excellent documentary makes you think more deeply about the problems facing the police today” – Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
