999: What's Your Emergency?

South Yorkshire Police work the long nightshift – breaking up fights, rescuing a colleague, nabbing a fuel thief, and attending a possible suicide on a bridge outside Doncaster.

Cases of alcohol-related call-outs involving excessive drinking by women. Officers are alerted by a taxi driver to someone who has been drunk and asleep in a gutter, while PCs Brad Phillips and Mike Doggett attend the scene of a mid-evening car crash. Elsewhere, a disturbance in a pub spills out onto the streets, resulting in an arrest for assault and an entire family of young children being forced to go into custody by their mother.

In Northamptonshire, police custody cells are stretched to breaking point as they have just 62 cells to cater for a population of 700,000. A 67-year-old lady is brought in for drink-driving, and a female detainee decides to strip naked.
