The show, which is produced by Mentorn Media, follows the work of the officers inside Lincolnshire Police’s former West Parade station, which closed in November 2019 before police joined ambulance and fire crews at the first tri-service operational station in the country at South Park in Lincoln.
The crimes are followed from various perspectives, including response units to CID and from custody to the force control room.
