MOTORWAY COPS: CATCHING BRITAIN'S SPEEDERS
Insp. Anton Sullivan, Roads & Crime Unit /SIO Cheshire Constabulary tells us about taking part in Purple Productions' Motorway Cops: Catching Britain's Speeders. He talks us through the process, the benefits, and what the hit Channel 5 series meant for him and his team.
WHAT WAS YOUR ROLE IN THE SERIES?
I ended up being very involved, not just taking part in the filming. I worked with Purple for any additional material required, checking the edits to ensure specific tactics, kit or information were not revealed, and took a critical look at what was on film so officers were protected.
HOW DID THE SHOW INCLUDE YOUR KEY MESSAGING?
As an organisation we requested certain aspects of policing were included in the series. From specific initiatives like night time economy and the showcasing of facial recognition technology to “GoodSam” we were able to weave our key messaging into the show.
DID THE FILM CREW IMPACT YOUR DAILY WORK? The
relationship between the
Producer/Director (PD) and the officers was critical to the success of the show. It’s not always easy having a camera with you, especially when the viewing figures rocketed, but we managed with the support of the PD.
share with the public and our friends and family what being a police officer means.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE WORKING WITH PURPLE?
From the start it was a collaboration. They listened to our ideas and worked with us to achieve a common goal - to showcase the great work the team does and focus on our key issues.
WHY IS THE SHOW A SUCCESS? It captured the officers' characters and personal stories of nearly every case - countless examples of mobile offences or collisions that viewers can relate to. I am immensely proud of my team and the work they do. It has been a pleasure and privilege to share it with everyone!
