0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today - a riot breaks out and the cadets are called in to help.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Will they deal with this situation,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10or crumble at the first sign of chaos?
0:00:10 > 0:00:13I'm in the middle of a public riot that's getting out of control.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17I'm Rav Wilding, and this is Cop School!
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Six wannabe coppers...
0:00:23 > 0:00:25..meet the world's oldest police force.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Their mission? To complete the unique training course.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35But are these cadets tough enough to cut it in the Met?
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Last time at Cop School...
0:00:39 > 0:00:42The cadets trained as crime scene examiners...
0:00:45 > 0:00:48..and collected enough evidence at a burglary
0:00:48 > 0:00:49for a successful prosecution.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Great, guys, well done.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Aww, look at the cadets.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57They're having a lovely time playing in the park.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59But a beautiful day in Gravesend, Kent,
0:00:59 > 0:01:03is about to become the cadets' worst nightmare.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05SHOUTING: And, steady-still!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07One line in front of me!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Quickly, quickly!
0:01:09 > 0:01:13I'm Adam Nash, from the Metropolitan Police Public Order Branch.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I will be Sergeant Nash to you for the next two days. I am your mentor.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20The Met's Public Order Branch police 4,000 events a year,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23crowds of up to a million people.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Their job is to keep the peace and maintain public safety,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28controlling and preventing riots.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30The cadets' mentor, Sergeant Nash,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33trains all 5,000 of the Met's Public Order officers.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34An expert in his field,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37he will demand nothing but the best from the cadets.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But can Sergeant Nash teach the Cop School cadets enough in two days
0:01:42 > 0:01:45for them to succeed in their final challenge?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49OK, officers Ryan, Lee and Dave, over here, please.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Quickly! When we say move you have to move!
0:01:51 > 0:01:54We don't stand there wandering around!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Training has just got tough.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02In order to be a Public Order police officer, you have to be fully fit.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03With some serious circuit training,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Sergeant Nash will find out just how fit they are.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Get back!- Get back!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20The cadet doing the press-ups has to shout, "Change",
0:02:20 > 0:02:23at which point, they all move on to the next exercise.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29If it takes them a long time to do five press-ups, everyone is working.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Not punished, they're in a learning mode.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Everyone stand up, stay where you are!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Don't forget, we are doing the change on the five press-ups.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39How many did you do, Rebecca?
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Seven.- Seven? Is seven more than five?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Yes.- Yes it is. OK, everybody, down. Five press-ups.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I don't expect to have to teach you to count to five,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52when that is something you should have learned years ago!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Everybody! One!
0:02:54 > 0:02:59I don't think Rebecca will make that mistake again! Oh, harsh!
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Sergeant Nash is quite strict.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05When you do the work and he sees you training, he gets a little easier.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07But when you're not doing work he's strict and harsh.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Hold it there, hold it there!
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Sam, you stand there. Everybody else, down, five press-ups!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Down you go, Jade, down you go, Megan. I warned you!
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Megan's already moaning.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Don't ask questions, just bend your arms!
0:03:21 > 0:03:25How's it going? It's going awful, to be honest.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27It's a lot of strain.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- Poor Megan, she's loathed getting physical from day one.- Keep going!
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I'm hating every single sit up!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Nathan's not happy, either.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Really hard.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43He keeps shouting at us.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I'm finding Adam Nash quite horrible, but if we don't slack off
0:03:46 > 0:03:50and do what he wants, he'll be quite nice and relieve the pressure.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I don't think so, Nathan. You don't know what I know.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Did you enjoy that?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Yeah.- It was great! - What was that, Megan? No.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01OK, well, listen, good effort.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Everything you've done is important to carry through the next two days.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06OK? Away you go.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Next stop is Gravesend's specialist police training centre,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17which has a mock town, with houses, shops,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21a stadium and even a life size underground tube station.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25All places that the police have to handle public disturbances.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Stepping in to a real life environment
0:04:29 > 0:04:31means the pressure is mounting.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Get your toes behind the white line.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Spread yourselves out so you have a little space in between.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43OK, cadets, your second training exercise today is to learn
0:04:43 > 0:04:46how to dominate and contain suspected criminals.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50And the technique Sergeant Nash is going to teach you
0:04:50 > 0:04:52is called Verbal Dominance.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56SHOUTING: Turn around! Face the wall! Face the wall, put your arms out!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Being shouted at can make the toughest criminal
0:04:58 > 0:04:59do as they are told,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02and it's often more effective than getting physical.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05The thing that everybody has here is a voice.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08You don't have to be the biggest, you can be the smallest.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09It doesn't matter how big you are.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14You don't need to be enormous. It's down to how you use your voice.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Time to bring in the enormous Cop School criminals.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- He's a tank.- What was that, Nathan?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- He's a tank! - There's a tank in there.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27We've got a request for this one to come behind here.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33This is your time to practice and get it right.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Go!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38THEY SHOUT ORDERS
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Nathan's got the biggest bloke.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Spread your legs, face away from me.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46By being assertive and using their voices,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49the cadets have managed to tame the tanks
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and intimidate them into submission.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Out on the street, a crime is being committed.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59The cadets have been told that a mobile phone
0:05:59 > 0:06:01has been stolen from this mini-mart.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05They've also been told that the person who stole it look like this.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09It's up to them to find him. And when they do, contain him
0:06:09 > 0:06:12using all the skills Sergeant Nash has taught them.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14First up...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16That's Jade and Junior.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24- Excuse me.- Excuse me.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Excuse me!
0:06:26 > 0:06:27And Junior's off!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Turn around, against the wall!
0:06:33 > 0:06:38I am arresting you on suspicion of theft of a mobile phone!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It looks like Jade's getting it.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Look away from me, with your arms out to the side!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Very good voice from Jade. - Excellent.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Put your right hand behind your back and join it with your left hand!
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Junior is quite a fast runner so I was pumping my legs like,
0:06:54 > 0:06:55"Wait for me!"
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Eventually we caught him and got him under control.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Sam and Megan now.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05There!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Shout something, Sam!
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Stop!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Put your arms up!
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Against the wall! Put your arms up, spread your legs!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Now they're coming in, using commands.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Put your right hand behind your back!
0:07:23 > 0:07:26We looked at each other and then ran, I was like...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28"That's him....Oh!"
0:07:28 > 0:07:31We timed it wrong, I suppose.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32We were a bit slow.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38They did well in training, but will Nathan and Rebecca remember?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Excuse me! Come back!
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Come back!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Come back!- Come back!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53What have I done?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Hands behind!
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- What have I done?- Feet apart!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Face away from me!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It's Rebecca, Rebecca taking charge.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Right hand behind your back!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Left hand behind your back!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Good verbal commands from Rebecca.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13I was buzzing, I really enjoyed it and I thought it went really well.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15OK, cadets, go and join the others.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21The next training session.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23The cadets are going to experience
0:08:23 > 0:08:26what it feels like to move through a crowd.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Public Order police keep the peace during festivals
0:08:29 > 0:08:31demonstrations and football matches.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33They don't just control crowds,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37they also have to get trouble makers and the injured out of them.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40This crowd simulator consists of 84 hanging bags.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Each one weighing 64 kilos.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45The size of an average person
0:08:45 > 0:08:49but clearly a lot bigger than a Cop School cadet.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50As we go through the bags,
0:08:50 > 0:08:54we're using our forearms to keep the bags away from our faces
0:08:54 > 0:08:55and our bodies.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59In a minute, Mick is going to come through, followed by Dick.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00The big one?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01The little one.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03He'll be at the front.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Don't panic, no more tanks for now, Nathan.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11A demonstration from Mick and Dick shows the cadets
0:09:11 > 0:09:14how to get through a crowd in pursuit of a suspect.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17You see that?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20We're not running, all we're doing is moving through the crowd.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Go.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27The cadets are moving through the crowd in twos for safety.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31One of them to guide and the other to protect.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Well done, Megan, stay close.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Megan was behind me and we were chasing someone,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39and the bag hit me that side, that side and then the one in front.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41At least they stayed close.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45In you get, stay close together!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Stay close, stay close.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Stay close!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52That's it, Rebecca, stay right next to him.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Good, well done!
0:09:54 > 0:09:57They got through quicker than the first group.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58They are two of the smallest.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08They kept closing in and it was really quite frightening.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Rav pushed the thing into me!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17You all right, Jade?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18The cadets' next task
0:10:18 > 0:10:21is to help an injured man get out of the crowd safely.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Away you go! In we come!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Make a space for him
0:10:29 > 0:10:32You need to get these ones out of the way.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33I'll help lift him.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35You all right with him, yeah?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Push the bags out of the way.- Slowly.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Slowly.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Tightly together, keep it tight together!
0:10:45 > 0:10:46That's it, Jade.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I thought it would just be, like, "Excuse me",
0:10:50 > 0:10:52you get them and walk out.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's not, you need to fight your way through.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57And out you go.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00He said keep close - but not that close!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I think they used him as a battering ram, but they got him out.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- How do you think they got on? - Very good.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09They kept close together and kept momentum and worked together.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Very good achievement within a small amount of time.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16# Some people think I'm bonkers...#
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Sergeant Nash has let the cadets go bonkers before their big day.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23But in less than 24 hours, the cadets have to join a riot squad
0:11:23 > 0:11:27and things look like they're getting out of control.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29The top cops in the challenge
0:11:29 > 0:11:34will get the reward of breaking down doors using the legendary Enforcer.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42And, steady-still!
0:11:42 > 0:11:45OK, your next lesson with Sergeant Nash
0:11:45 > 0:11:50is to learn how to run like that, but carrying one of those.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Oh, my God.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Grab yourselves a long shield and face me.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58The shields are bigger than most of them!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01This is Sergeant Nash's character test for the cadets.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04At eight kilos, the shields are far too big
0:12:04 > 0:12:08so he wants to see if they will even attempt to run with them.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- I need a wee.- Not now, Junior.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Are you ready? ALL:- Yeah!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Three, two, one,
0:12:15 > 0:12:16go!
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Riot police have to be able to run with the long shields for 500 metres
0:12:21 > 0:12:23in 2 minutes, 46 seconds.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26The cadets only have to do 250 metres
0:12:26 > 0:12:27in half that time.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Now the cadets have shown their strength,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Sergeant Nash lets them know the score.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Because you're slightly smaller,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37we're going to swap it for the round shield.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Much lighter at four kilos, the short shield allows the user
0:12:41 > 0:12:43to be faster and have greater flexibility
0:12:43 > 0:12:46We are going to go to the end of the road,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49round the block, back to this position.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51In 1 minute 23. Are we ready?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53ALL: Yes!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Fantastic.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Three, two, one, go!
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Off we go, that's it! Keep it going!
0:13:00 > 0:13:021 minute 23 is the time!
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Keep going, keep going!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Well done, Junior!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08All the way down, all the way down.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Come on, Megan, come on, Jade! Let's go!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I hated running with the shield because
0:13:14 > 0:13:15it hurt your arm.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20It should be on wheels, so you can wheel it along. I'd like that.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Come on, cadets! Junior is already finished!
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I was the fastest person, I can clarify that to you!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Into your line.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Excellent effort, excellent effort.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Not one of you took more than one minute.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Brilliant work.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41OK, Sam, pick your shield up.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42A few of them are looking tired.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45But there's no letting up from Sergeant Nash.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Turn to the left. Everything in public order is done to the left.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53We're facing the other way. If there was a threat coming from down there,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55an attack from the rear!
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Turn to the left. Excellent!
0:13:56 > 0:13:57No, other left.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Do we need press-ups to help us remember? ALL:- No!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Megan REALLY doesn't want press-ups.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Forward!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Road junctions are a danger point.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10It's the perfect place for troublemakers to throw missiles.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11SHOUTING
0:14:11 > 0:14:14When the cadets get to a road junction,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16they have to make sure it's clear.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Big shout of "Junction left, clear!"
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Junction left, clear!
0:14:20 > 0:14:23And then everybody knows, so me, as a supervisor,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26can take my unit across the junction.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Junction left, clear! - Take the junction, straight across!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Go!
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- Push up!- I thought the riot shield training was amazing.- It was good!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Take the junction, to the left! Go!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Go!- Go!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- No, LEFT! - HE WHISTLES
0:14:43 > 0:14:46We did say lefts and rights, you should have known that
0:14:46 > 0:14:49before you arrived! Down we go, five press-ups!
0:14:49 > 0:14:52There's only one way to learn, and that's by bending them arms!
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Left, right and straight over. You should know that.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- OK, back on our feet.- More press-ups, and now, more training.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Attack from the rear! And forward.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Forward, that's it, nice straight lines,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06spread yourselves out, don't bunch.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10They're doing very, very well. It's a lot of information to take on.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Junction right, clear! - Junction left, clear!
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Junction straight across, clear!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Take the junction, to the right! Go!
0:15:18 > 0:15:19- Go!- Go!
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Fan round, fan round!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Funny-looking fan!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Attack from the rear! And forward!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Forward!- Junction!- Junction!
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Junction left, clear! - Junction right, clear!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Junction across, clear!
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- I think they're going to come flying up here!- Fan round! Fan round!
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Here they come. - Fan round, fan round, fan round!
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Junction! To the junction! Go!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Junction left, clear!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Junction right, clear!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Place your shields against the wall!
0:15:51 > 0:15:53And back into line. Excellent.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I will see you, bright and breezy, six o'clock in the morning.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- What?!- What?!- OK!
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Off you go.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04The cadets have cracked the shield training. It's been a hard day.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- How are they feeling about tomorrow? - Stressed, stressed...
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Is the pressure getting to them?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I think tomorrow will be a little bit more dangerous, and...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16What are you doing?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I really hope that we're not thrown into any riot situations,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22because I think I might break down and cry.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Coming up, I predict a riot.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36It's bright and early at Gravesend Training Centre.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41The cadets are half-asleep. They're clearly not morning people,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45but Sergeant Nash is. He's starting the day with a vocal warm-up.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50- Shout!- Stand up! Stand up! - THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
0:16:50 > 0:16:51OK!
0:16:51 > 0:16:55If you are a supervisor, you will be expected to shout commands
0:16:55 > 0:16:59so that the officers working under you can hear what you are saying.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Face the person opposite you and I want you to shout at them.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Are we ready? On the command of three,
0:17:05 > 0:17:09anything you like, as long as it's not rude, three, two, one...
0:17:09 > 0:17:11THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Nicely done, everyone!
0:17:18 > 0:17:21SERGEANT NASH WHISTLES
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Excellent! Who's out of breath?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25We need to shout from down here,
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- rather than up here.- It's time for the final challenge to begin.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Sergeant Nash takes the cadets off
0:17:32 > 0:17:35while the Cop School crowd moves in.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39An angry crowd has spilled out onto the street
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- and are looking for trouble. - SHOUTING
0:17:47 > 0:17:51What do we want to do with people who have committed offences?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55While the cadets are having their strategy meeting in there,
0:17:55 > 0:17:59it is all about to completely kick off down there.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03What they don't know yet is that they are going to have to join in.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Cue the riot.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11SHOUTING AND BREAKING GLASS What's that? Go and have a look
0:18:11 > 0:18:14at what's outside on the balcony.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16SHOUTING
0:18:21 > 0:18:25In the UK, people have the right to protest, but occasionally,
0:18:25 > 0:18:29campaigners get violent and peaceful demonstrations turn to riots.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33As part of public order training, the officers have to take part
0:18:33 > 0:18:34in exercises like this,
0:18:34 > 0:18:41but our cadets are the youngest ever to take part in this training.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44The police on the ground are struggling to contain the rioters,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46and call for urgent assistance.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48WALKIE-TALKIE CHATTER
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Yeah, received, we've got a unit here coming to assist you now, over.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53From what you've demonstrated so far,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- you are going to be team leader, OK? - OK.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57- You got that?- Yeah.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00OK. Let's go down, we're going to give you your helmets
0:19:00 > 0:19:03and your shields. Good luck!
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Are you trying to kill us?! - Told you I'd go easy on you today.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Easy?! Pure psychos out there! - Remember what you've been taught.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15That was so scary, what I just seen. I was like, "What is going on?!"
0:19:15 > 0:19:16SHOUTING
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I was crying, I was just so scared. It really shocked me to see that.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I can hear them now, and we have to go into that!
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- I'm scared, scared, scared. - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I've been picked leader for the hardest challenge ever.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I have to handle a riot and I'm not going to be happy with it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:3812-year-old Nathan from Liverpool is happy handling his cats.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41He loves trampolining, but unfortunately for him,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43he gets claustrophobic in crowds.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45How is he going to handle this?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48OK, Nathan, you've been made leader.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Remember, you've got to be really, really loud.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Even more loud than normal,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58cos you've got this helmet on and your colleagues need to hear you.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00SHOUTING
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Once you go through this door, make sure all visors are down, OK?
0:20:05 > 0:20:06SHOUTING
0:20:06 > 0:20:11The stunned cadets are thrown straight into the riot.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14We've replaced the lethal petrol bombs,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16glass and bricks with tennis balls.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20But they have to have their wits about them, because these balls
0:20:20 > 0:20:23still pack a punch. Where's Andy Murray when you need him?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27I was relieved that there wasn't any petrol bombs or anything,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30we were just getting tennis balls lobbed at us.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34The aim of this challenge is to round the rioters up, contain them
0:20:34 > 0:20:36and identify and arrest the ringleaders.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39To achieve this, we've assigned Nathan a police officer,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42to help him get to grips with this tough situation.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Take the junction, straight across!
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Go! Take the junction! Go!
0:20:48 > 0:20:51They're holding their ground. Nathan's giving good commands,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54he's pushing them forward.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56SHOUTING
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Well, that was Nathan's word of command.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05I heard it from way back here, he's pushed them back,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07and that's exactly what we want to see.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09SHOUTING
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Junction left, clear!
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Take the junction straight across.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Go!
0:21:18 > 0:21:22It felt really good to be, like, right in the middle of the action
0:21:22 > 0:21:24and to be able to chase after people,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26shout at them...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31The rioters have gone around the block
0:21:31 > 0:21:34and are attacking the cadets from behind.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Attack from the rear!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40He's turned them round, and now he's got to hold his ground.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44They're backing off and regrouping, nothing wrong with that.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Take the junction straight across. Go!
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Well done, Nathan!
0:21:51 > 0:21:55It's all very well doing all these commands when you're training,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58but when it comes to doing it, you've got to get it right.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- He's doing very well.- Take the junction straight across. Go!
0:22:05 > 0:22:06The cadets keep the pressure up
0:22:06 > 0:22:09by pushing the rioters towards the containment area.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11SIRENS WAIL
0:22:13 > 0:22:18But they've done a runner and come up behind the cadets again!
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Under attack from the rear, the cadets have to hold their nerve
0:22:22 > 0:22:23for the face-off.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26It'll be good to see how the cadets handle this
0:22:26 > 0:22:28and stay put.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Oh!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I get the message - I'll shut up now!
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Get back!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35You didn't know what they was going to do,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38if they was going to launch at you and attack you,
0:22:38 > 0:22:39so it was really scary.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43It was difficult, because you'd have two or three standing there,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47throwing tennis balls, and then you'd get attacked from the rear,
0:22:47 > 0:22:51so you'd have to turn round quickly, with them still firing tennis balls!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53They've got them coming back, they're working together,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57they've got the road spread out, he's doing an excellent job.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Get back!
0:22:59 > 0:23:03One last push from the cadets contains the rioters.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Get back!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Squeeze them up! Squeeze them up!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09They're surrounding the rioters,
0:23:09 > 0:23:13they've got them contained, another important technique in public order.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16No-one comes out!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18No-one comes out!
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Please, get back!
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Now, they need to round them up,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26identify the ringleaders and arrest them.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29SHOUTING
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Me?!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34SHOUTING
0:23:34 > 0:23:37'So, that's the first ringleader arrested.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43'The second...'
0:23:46 > 0:23:49That's it, Rebecca. Tell him where you're taking him.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52'..and finally, the third. Job done.'
0:23:52 > 0:23:54What have I done wrong?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56What have I done wrong?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Keep walking!- What have I done? - Keep walking!
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Oh, the pain!- Shut up!
0:24:01 > 0:24:06But will the cadets remember the caution?
0:24:06 > 0:24:07You're under arrest!
0:24:07 > 0:24:08What for?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
0:24:11 > 0:24:14if you do not mention, when questioned,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- something which you later rely on in court.- Ease off!
0:24:16 > 0:24:18'I am proud of the team.'
0:24:18 > 0:24:21We've done a great thing today, clearing the rioters up,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23and it's been great fun.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24You do not have to say anything.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Anything you do say may harm your defence if you do not mention,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30when questioned, something you later rely on in court.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33I'm innocent.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36He kept speaking to us while we were taking him down
0:24:36 > 0:24:38and we just said the caution,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40and when he started to say things,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42we shouted, "Silence!" Oh, it was brilliant!
0:24:42 > 0:24:45So all that hard work was worth it, then, Megan?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Me and Jade, we're such a good team.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51The cadets have completed their challenge,
0:24:51 > 0:24:56so it's decision time. Sergeant Nash and I have the hard job of deciding
0:24:56 > 0:24:58which of them will be our top cops.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05So when I called them out and they saw this riot going on,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08their faces looked in sheer horror.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I'm sure they never thought they would deal with that themselves.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Then we gave them a helmet and a shield...- Totally transformed.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Suddenly felt equipped for it, off they went, no complaining.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Somehow, we've got to pick top cop, or top cops,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24out of those six cadets, who I think all did extremely well.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26They've had a fantastic performance.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Let's talk about Junior.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Physically very capable, good voice, listened
0:25:31 > 0:25:34and applied himself throughout. He done very well.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Let's talk about Rebecca.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Started off quiet, but really came forward.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42It's nice to see such an improvement in such a short time.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44She's probably the smallest,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- yet her voice was one of the bigger ones.- Yeah, it was very good.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Nathan.- He's excelled himself. He's gone out there,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56done everything asked of him, he's been clear and concise,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58and he's shown what can be learnt
0:25:58 > 0:26:00in a short period of time.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03And for him to give the word of command to take a junction
0:26:03 > 0:26:06and the whole police unit to follow him was fantastic.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Your teamwork has been brilliant, you've really gelled together,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12and you've really pulled through.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16We're proud of what you've achieved in the last few days.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17- ALL:- Thank you!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20'What's this, Sergeant Nash being nice?! Aw, you big softie!'
0:26:20 > 0:26:27OK, cadets. Our hardest decision has been, which three cadets
0:26:27 > 0:26:31deserve to be today's top cops?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35The three we've chosen will get to go on the police Enforcer,
0:26:35 > 0:26:39the battering ram for opening locked doors.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43The other three will have to do all that dirty, sweaty laundry
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- over in the launderette. - No way!- Oh, no!- Oh, yes!
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Oh, that is brutal! That is really bad!- "Brutal!"
0:26:51 > 0:26:54So, do you want to know who they are?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- ALL:- Yeah! - OK.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Today's three top cops are...
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Junior...
0:27:13 > 0:27:15..Rebecca, and I think you'll all agree,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19our fantastic leader, Nathan. Well done.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I knew you wanted the laundry, Megan!
0:27:22 > 0:27:24LAUGHTER
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Whose laundry is it? - Tank's pants. And they're big.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Is there pegs?- No, bare hands.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35SHE WAILS Washing by hand,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- scrubbing and wringing! - I'm not doing that!
0:27:37 > 0:27:39That's cruel!
0:27:39 > 0:27:43..the cadets get thrown in at the deep end,
0:27:43 > 0:27:44train with river police...
0:27:44 > 0:27:48This is Marine Police. Stop your vehicle!
0:27:48 > 0:27:51..and get down and dirty on the Thames mudflats.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53We really need to find this, guys!
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Hard.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Yes!- Well done.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04SHE SCREAMS
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Get in there, now!
