This programme contains some strong language. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
In Britain today, there are now over twice as many | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
private security workers as there are police officers. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
As police numbers across the nation fall, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
the fear of crime has grown... | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
It's more of a deterrent. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
I know some people who've got a firearm. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
..so the private security industry is booming. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
In the last 12 or 18 months, | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
we have literally doubled our turnover. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
Private security companies | 0:00:28 | 0:00:29 | |
are on the streets of Britain 24/7. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
You don't get the bobbies on the streets, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
you haven't got the police boxes | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
and the blokes running around with whistles any more. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
No longer the preserve of the rich and famous... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Sir, I'm just asking you nicely... | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Whoa, whoa, no need for touching, mate. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
..they aim to secure our workplaces... | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Until they tackle the crime, there's a need for CCTV everywhere. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
..to protect our homes... | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
My main concern is purely for my wife and daughter, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
and that's it, end of story. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
..and keep our leisure time trouble-free. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
I don't need that attitude, bruv - I don't need that attitude! | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
It's an industry of people risking their lives to keep us safe. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
GUNFIRE | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
This way, this way! Head down! | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
This is private security. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
It's a summer Saturday evening in Kent. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
Sid Arora is about to begin work. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
He started in the private security business 23 years ago | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
and now runs his own firm. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
I moved up from West London into East London | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
and I was just working in a chip shop and places like that. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
Well, opposite me was a pub, which was a little rough - | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
you had a few characters in there. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
One of them came into the chip shop and started trouble. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
I ended up having a row with him, and the next thing, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
the landlord of the pub was asking me to work for him. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
That got me into the pub industry and from there, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
it led on to pubs, clubs, working the doors | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
and it all increased up from there, really. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
Tonight, Sid is in charge of a team of 12, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
as they provide security at a boxing event. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
-Can I just have a quick look at your bag? -Yes. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
-Can I put those on, please? -Cheers. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
-Hello, mate. -All right, mate? | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Events like these rely on private companies to provide security - | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
overseeing the safety of the crowd, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
as well as preventing and dealing with any trouble. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
You're not a funny bloke, are you? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:28 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Tonight's entertainment features eight bouts and plenty of booze. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
It's a toxic cocktail that Sid knows well. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
You've got the alcohol being served, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
you've got groups of people geeing each other on, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
so it is that atmosphere that can fire... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
So it's all about keeping an eye on it, | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
getting right in there when something happens, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
splitting it up and sorting it out. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
BELL DINGS | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Sid's keeping a sharp eye on one punter, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
who's already been asked twice to stop standing up | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
and blocking the view. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
So when he stands up again, it's time to take action. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Hey, come here. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
We just want to have a nice fucking chat, do you know what I mean? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Come here. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
Bruv, listen. I'm trying to be reasonable, all right? | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
At the end of the day, bruv, if you ain't going to listen to me, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
all that's going to happen is that you're going to get chucked out. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
-You ain't going to see none of your mates. -It's shit, mate. It's meant to be my boy, innit? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
What you're doing is, you're jumping up, you're going into the ring... You don't need to do that. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
Finish him! Smash him, babe! | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Bruv, you can sit there and you can cheer them on and all that, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
but you can't start jumping up, bruv. Yeah? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
With the man refusing to respond to diplomacy, | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
Sid has to find another way to resolve the situation. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
I got it, right? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
When he comes back, unless he's calmed down, he ain't coming in. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
So I'm going to get another guy with you, I'm going to have you inside, all right? | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-'Seconds out, round two...' -BELL DINGS | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
Right, I'm telling you now, you ain't coming back in. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
You're taking the piss. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:06 | |
Listen to me now, yeah? I walked away, yeah, because everyone's getting lemon. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
They're getting lemon, because you ain't listening. I'm trying to be polite to you. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
I walked away, cos I fully respect you and your firm, yeah? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
If you respect me, then you should listen to what I said. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
I did! I walked away, didn't I? | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
CHEERING | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Do you want to watch the fighters? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
I'm chilling, bruv. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:26 | |
So why have we got to talk to you three times then, mate? | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Cos you lot are coming up to me three times, innit? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
Because you ain't behaving three times, "innit". | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
Bruv, I told you - you only have to tell me one time, yeah? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
And then you did it a second, then you did it a third | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
and then your mate was about to fight you... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
Fuck it, he's a mug. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
Well, this is what I mean! I don't need that attitude, bruv. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
I don't need that attitude! | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
Kill him! Kill him! | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
What's your name, bruv? | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
-Chris. -Chris, I'm Sid. -They call me... No, my name's "Villain". | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
-Oh, "Villain"? -Villain. -I'm Sid. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Come here, bruv. Shake my hand. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:57 | |
I'm not interested, I don't know about you, | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
you don't know about me. That don't mean nothing to me, bruv. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
All right, it don't mean nothing. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
I'm shaking your hand. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
'It's a technical draw.' | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
A resolution reached, Sid allows Chris, or "Villain" | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
to return to the night's entertainment. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
Ah, he's all right now. He's all chilled. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Where's the picture at? Take a picture! | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Cool? There you go. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
I love you, you know that? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:26 | |
He went up and down from being calm to being lairy again to being calm. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
So, as I say, the last resort is to get physical, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
so I'll keep talking, until I've got no other option. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
If so, we would have had to restrain him and take him outside. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
But this is what these people do - they get so hyped up, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
they get taken out and they miss their own friend fighting, | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
so there you go. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
Over 340,000 people in Britain have a private security licence. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
Over half of these are licensed, like Sid, to work the doors. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
Tom Wood-Hulme, a former professional rugby player, | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
has been working as a doorman in the nightclubs of Liverpool | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
for three years... | 0:06:11 | 0:06:12 | |
..but now, he wants to re-train for his close protection licence. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
He's a man with ambition. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
He's aiming to reach the pinnacle - | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
to be a bodyguard, | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
where instead of earning little more than minimum wage as a doorman, | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
he could earn over £250 a day, | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
travelling the world, protecting the rich and famous. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
I do believe that I have got what it takes. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
Like, I really, really want to do this, more than anything. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
That's just me, that's not everybody else. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Some people might like being a security guard, | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
or like being a doorman. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
I was once that. I loved it for the first three months, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
but now I really want to better myself | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
and I want to be a bodyguard. I want to be in close protection. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
I started rugby when I was eight, and my grandad got me into it. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
And then, when I was 15, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:03 | |
I signed for Widnes on a professional contract. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
And then, sadly, I had a bad, bad knee injury | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
and then, that happened several times on my comebacks, et cetera. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
I had a bit of trouble with my now-ex-girlfriend - | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
who I had two children with - | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
and ended up going through | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
a real, bad, dark spell in my life... | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
Ended up trying to take my life. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
It's a bit heavy, but that's how it was... | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
..and I wasn't very good at all, I was really, really depressed. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
And then, I obviously had a lot of help from my now-girlfriend. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
She really helped me through that. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
It's been, like, quite progressional though, over time. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
It's not been, "Oh, here's where he's changed." | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
It's been like the past nearly two years. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
When I first met him, he was really, really depressed, | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
really low, like... I hope you don't mind me saying, but nearly suicidal. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
You know, quite bad? And then, as time's gone on, | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
he's got a little bit more help, he's been to a councillor, | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
which has really helped him quite a bit - | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
and since then, that changed his mind frame. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
So, like we were saying before, | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
he used to think things were quite dramatic. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
If he'd get up ten minutes late for work, the whole day would be ruined. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
Whereas now, he's just like, | 0:08:14 | 0:08:15 | |
right, OK, just get on with it, kind of thing. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
I want him to go and do the dream that he wants, | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
the life goal that he wants, the career that he wants. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
If that is in this industry, then that's what he wants to do, | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
so I'll support him all the way | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
and just pray that he doesn't end up in a situation | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
-where he might be at gunpoint! -Yeah. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
An attempted burglary happens every 45 seconds | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
somewhere in the UK. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:55 | |
Increasingly, those who can afford it | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
are turning to private security to find protection. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
North London homeowners can pay up to £2,000 a year | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
to hire the services of Proforce 1, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
a company owned and run by Dave Jordan. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
Where are we going to go today? | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
We're going to go round Hadley Wood. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
We've got several houses over there | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
that join up a subscription to us - | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
a yearly subscription - | 0:09:29 | 0:09:30 | |
so we patrol the area 24 hours a day, we've got vehicles in the area | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
and attend to alarms | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
and any emergency responses that they have. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
We've got over 40 staff working for us, currently - | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
and our operation runs North London, Hertfordshire. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
We've got a fleet of vehicles we can call upon, | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
including marked, unmarked... | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
We've even got an armoured, proofed vehicle as well. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
This is Hadley Wood, Hertfordshire. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
I believe it's the second richest road in the UK. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
There's all sorts of well-to-do people up here, you know? | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
CEOs, businesspeople, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
high-end doctors... | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
We've got several houses around this area. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
We respond to the alarms, | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
the alarms come directly to us | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
and our officers will attend within our response time, | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
which is three to five minutes. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
Since Dave began his patrols six years ago, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
not one of his client's properties have been broken into. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
I'm just going to go and check that skip lorry, | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
because that's on one of our client's drives. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
-SATNAV: -'Phone help.' -Eh? | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
'The following are examples of commonly used commands. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
'Phone dial number.' | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
This has never spoken to me before in its life! | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
-What is it speaking to you? -I haven't got a clue. Yeah, yeah. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
Another property on Dave's patrol is Jonny Gorman's. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
He subscribed to Dave's service | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
shortly after one of his business premises was raided by thieves. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
-Do you want to go and see your bedroom? -Yeah. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
'Being broken into is not a nice thing.' | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
-I want to see my playroom. -You want to see your playroom? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
I was on holiday at the time and I'm looking on my camera, on my phone | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
and I'm watching these people do it, there and then, | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
at 9.15 in the morning, when I'm on my balcony in the Canary Islands. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
It wasn't nice - it was probably one of the worst things | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
that's ever happened to me, to be honest with you. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
What's there? | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-Playroom! -Exactly. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:41 | |
As well as incorporating a sophisticated CCTV and alarm system | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
into his newly-renovated house, | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
Jonny employs Dave to provide 24-hour alarm response | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
and regular neighbourhood patrols. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
..Mummy's office is there... | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
We see the car in the mornings, they'll give you a hoot | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
or you give them a hoot and they give you a flash, | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
they'll put the sirens on. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
If there's a problem, I call them up. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
I had something the other night - | 0:12:03 | 0:12:04 | |
I thought I saw something, one of my sensors went off | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
in one of my warehouses and the guys were there in minutes. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
I'm watching on the phone, on my camera - | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
and they were there in minutes - and that's what you want. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
Over the past five years, | 0:12:20 | 0:12:21 | |
government cuts mean police officer numbers have fallen by 16,000 | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
across the UK. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
Private security firms like Dave Jordan's are filling the gap, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
providing paying clients | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
with a reassuringly visible presence on the streets. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
Visual deterrent is what we base ourselves on. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
That's why the vehicles are loudly liveried, the uniforms stand out. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
We make a noise when we're in the area - | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
and it does work. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:52 | |
What you will find is | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
people driving the other way, on their phones and stuff. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
They see these vehicles coming and they suddenly drop their phones, | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
put their seat belts on and start behaving themselves, as well. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
What sort of interaction do you have with the police? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
I think, when we first came to the area, there was a little bit of... | 0:13:07 | 0:13:12 | |
We were pulled over quite a few times and we were asked lots of questions. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
Now, to be honest, the police wave at us, we wave at them. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
If we get any information, we'll share it with them. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
Policing's moved on. You don't get the bobbies on the streets, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
you haven't got the police boxes | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
and the blokes running around with whistles any more, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
but from our point of view, | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
we are boots on the ground, 24 hours a day - | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
and we're eyes and ears, as well. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
Hello, Mummy. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
Um... Can I go in there, then jump and hold your hand? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |
'My main concern is purely for my wife and daughter - | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
'and that's it, end of story.' | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
I mean, they even do trackers as well, | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
so if my wife is ever in distress, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
she can press a button, and they'll find her. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
It makes me feel comfortable. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:58 | |
The police can't do what they used to do. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
I think everyone's got this perception that the police are there | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
in the past, you know? Two guys walking around... | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
It's not like that any more, things have moved on. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
It's a different world out there, now. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
So unfortunately, there is a gap in the market | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
and I think it's being filled. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
Unlike the police force, | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
the front line private security industry is steadily growing - | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
almost 60,000 people have qualified for new licences | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
in the last five years. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
I've been watching The Bodyguard for a very long time. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
It's one of them films that when it's on, I will always watch it. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
I think the first time I watched it, I was about 15 - | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
and I thought, "What can he do, that I can't?" | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
How good's that? How good at what you do - I want to be that. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
So, yeah - | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
I can't say that it wasn't Kevin Costner doing The Bodyguard. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
It's been an influence, definitely. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
In a few days, | 0:14:59 | 0:15:00 | |
Tom will be flying out to the Czech Republic, | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
to take a close protection course - | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
it's costing him almost £3,000. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
I'd like to think that I wasn't nervous, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
but I think I am, deep down. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
You know, I've not really... | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
been away from my son or my girlfriend | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
for longer than three days - | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
when I went Benidorm, on a stag do with the lads. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
It's probably going to hit me on the way down there, in the car with her. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
I've told her to not bring my son. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
I just wouldn't end up going, I don't think. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
I just don't want to get injured, or anything like that, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
cos obviously, it's 25 days, intensive. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
If I get injured, it might scupper the whole thing for me. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
And this is the last piece of the puzzle. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
I don't want to be losing that now, do I? | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
So how did you afford the funds to pay for the course? | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
Oh, you're not going to like this one! | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Me and the missus had been planning a wedding. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
I had to discuss it with her. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Told her this is what I want to do - and she said if it's your dream, | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
then we can put that off, for a little bit. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
You can use the wedding fund. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
When the time's right, we'll get married, | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
but the time's right now for me to become a bodyguard. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
Sid Arora has seen many security men come and go over the years. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
He knows what attributes are needed | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
for a successful career in the industry. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Good people skills, I would say, is more important than anything else. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
You know, in most occasions, it's going to be a thing of either | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
talking to you, trying to calm the situation down. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
If I think it's getting too heavy and physical, | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
I will restrain you and put you down, | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
but if you pull a weapon on me, | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
I am going to take you out straight away - | 0:16:38 | 0:16:39 | |
and that's not trying to be a big man, it's the way it is, | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
to protect yourself and in the eyes of the law, | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
it's reasonable force. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:46 | |
Tonight, he's helping his old mentor, Fitzroy, | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
at a nightclub in North London. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
We met probably about 17, 18 years ago. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
Worked some rough places, worked some really good places. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
Yeah, the friendship just built and built from there, really. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
We've had guns brought down for us, or we've had... | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
Bottles in the back of the head. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:12 | |
..bottles in the back of the head, yeah. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
We had a guy being chased into our club with a knife... | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
and we had to pull him into the corner. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
So yeah, knives, guns... | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
and back in the day, they used to have acid in bottles, | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
which they'd spray on you. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
Give you a quick search, please? | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
There's been a lot of changes. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
20 years back, there was no licences. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
You had a lot of tough people, a lot of people who had criminal records, | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
or were known as tough guys and they were on the door. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
So they changed it, they checked into your criminal record background | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
and tried to get a different type of character on the door. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
There's always a lot of respect in this game | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
and there's a lot of respect for your elders, as well. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
And as new people come into the game, | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
the elders sort of teach them the ways. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
And with Fitzroy, he taught me a lot of the ways - | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
and at his age, there's always something to learn. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
Crime costs UK businesses over half a billion pounds a year. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
Many business owners take security into their own hands, | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
investing in CCTV cameras and intruder alarms - | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
contributing to an industry worth over £2 billion annually. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:45 | |
In Middlesbrough, | 0:18:45 | 0:18:46 | |
thieves recently forced their way into this takeaway pizza parlour. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
The owner has asked us not to show his face. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
Both my neighbours have been broken into. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
There's a lady, a few shops down - | 0:18:57 | 0:18:58 | |
she's been broken into three, four, five times. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
The break-in now was early hours of the morning. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
I got a phone call and I walked inside, | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
and I could see, like, things on the floor and everything - | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
and I was looking and I realised someone's come through the roof. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
I thought I had good security. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
Well, it showed us all the weak points in the security system - all the flaws. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
We did have an eight-camera system, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
but some of the areas where they was, there were blind spots, | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
so we doubled them up and now we don't have any blind spots. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
And the outside cameras are all infra-red now, as well. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
Our national obsession with security | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
means that there are almost five million CCTV cameras in Britain - | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
and 98% of these are privately owned. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
I know in some places, people say it's no good, | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
it's an invasion of privacy. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:47 | |
At the same time, if there's a crime committed, | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
they're more likely to catch a person via CCTV. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
If there's an incident, police will come to local businesses | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
and they ask for your footage. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
The bottom line is, it's all down to the crime rate. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
If people are complaining about | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
"Oh, there's no privacy", invasion or whatever, | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
but until they tackle the crime, there's a need for CCTV everywhere. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
Despite never having been broken into at his home, | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
Imran's fear of crime has a big impact on his family's life. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:17 | |
SHOUTING AND YELLING | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
Town centre, so you get a lot of drunks, | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
a lot of drug abusers, things like that. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
When I'm out, the family, we don't open the door for anybody | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
we don't know. Our family members we obviously know and recognise | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
and if there's anybody who's coming to see me, they've made an | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
appointment prior to that, so yeah, they're told not to open the door. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
We don't leave the home empty any more. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
We always leave somebody at home. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Because you get, like, opportunists. Them sort of burglars, | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
even if the alarm's on, they'll just break the door in, go in, | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
grab stuff, straight out. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
There's very little the police can do. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:56 | |
I don't think they've got the manpower. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
It's highly unlikely they're going to catch someone, and if they do, | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
you're not going to get your money back, are you? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
They've spent that, had a good time. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
It sounds like you don't have much faith in the police? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
-No, I don't! -HE LAUGHS | 0:21:10 | 0:21:11 | |
My brother does say I'm paranoid, | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
but I don't think I'm that paranoid, I'm just cautious. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
What do they say? It's best to be safe than sorry. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
It's more of a deterrent, I know some people who have got firearms. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
I mean, I'd definitely think about getting a firearm, | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
obviously you need a special licence for one, and again, | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
purely be for hunting purposes only, nothing more, but it'd act | 0:21:36 | 0:21:41 | |
as a deterrent if people know you've got a firearm in the property. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
-Come on, Tommy! -Come on, Tommy! -Push 'em out! | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
Out in the Czech Republic, Tom's bodyguarding course | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
is now well underway. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
As the industry grows, ambitious security men like Tom, | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
and his six fellow would-be Kevin Costners, are looking to | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
get ahead by learning the extra skills that | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
close-protection training gives. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
He's been shown how to prevent attacks on the red carpet. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
He's learning advanced driving techniques. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
He's learning how to use a handgun. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
And every day, he's having the ordeal of a gruelling fitness regime. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:43 | |
The number of qualified bodyguards is growing rapidly, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
having doubled in the last five years, | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
and if Tom passes, he'll join the ranks of nearly 14,000 | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
in the UK alone, licensed by the SIA, | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
the Security Industry Authority. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
The man responsible for training Tom to SIA standard | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
is former Royal Marine commando, Jamie Painter. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
The biggest misconception for our industry is people come on the | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
course, and they think they're going to get issued a pair of sunglasses, | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
a curly wurly earpiece and they're going to be walking about, | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
looking cool in their suit, and actually, when you actually | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
remind them of what this job is at its most fundamental level, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
you are prepared to put yourself in harm's way, | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
on someone else's behalf, for financial reward. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:33 | |
It's easy now to get an SIA licence, it's not a problem. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
I can pretty much train anyone to pass the SIA criteria. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:41 | |
Training someone to be good at this job, and someone that I would trust | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
to keep another human being safe anywhere in the world, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
is a much bigger ask. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
I get a lot of CVs from guys that I wouldn't employ to stack shelves | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
in a supermarket, let alone look after another person. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
So it is a pass or fail course, it's not a "pay your money" | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
and you get a tick in the box regardless, | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
and there are people that haven't made the grade, unfortunately. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
Police forces across the country are having to look for ways | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
to adapt to the cuts. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
Lincolnshire Police force has had to lose almost | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
10% of its police officers over the past five years, | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
and so it's now turning to private security. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
In Spalding, Julian Davies is just beginning his shift. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
He worked in the police for 30 years, | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
but recently joined a private security company. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
I think morale, from what I've seen in the police and when I left | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
the police, is low. Probably at an all-time low, and there is more and | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
more demand on the police, together with further cuts and staffing, so | 0:24:58 | 0:25:04 | |
it is a very difficult environment to work in, policing at the moment, | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
I think, and they still do a brilliant job, but it's harder | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
and harder every year, the reducing numbers... | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
It's not a great time for the police. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
G4S is the biggest security company in the world. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
It accounts for almost a quarter of the entire | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
UK private security industry. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
The company has signed a unique ten-year, £200 million contract | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
with Lincolnshire Police force to provide support services. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
One of these is the street-to-suite service, a mobile custody van. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:41 | |
Our role is to escort arrested prisoners, | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
if the police go to the scene and arrest somebody for whatever | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
reason, we'll turn up, we'll give them some paperwork, | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
they'll write down the grounds for the arrest, the reason | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
why they've arrested that person, and we'll drive them | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
to the nearest custody suite. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
We'll hand over the paperwork to the sergeant, | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
and they'll get booked in as normal, as if the police officer was there. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
And it just means then that the bobby can stay out on the street. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
The police have called Julian to attend the scene | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
of suspected domestic violence. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:14 | |
We've had a report of somebody with a knife in this road. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
The police have already arrived, they've got somebody detained | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
and they're talking to them. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
So we'll just see how it develops really, | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
and we're here if somebody gets arrested. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
The police do make an arrest. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
-Calm down. Shhh! -SPLUTTERING AND SOBBING | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
Has he got any injuries himself? | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
They hand the man over to Julian and his colleague Emily, | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
to transport to the police station. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
I will look after you. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
Yes? Has he been all right or has he been...? | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
He's quite volatile, to be honest with you. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
Stand up, and I'm going to just check your pockets and put it | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
-with your property. -Have you got anything in your pockets? | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
You put it in here for me. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:54 | |
We're not the police, and we make it very clear to them | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
when they come on board, we tell them straight away that we're G4S, | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
we're not the police, because sometimes they're confused | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
because the attire we wear is very police-like. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
Right, I'm going to put these on, loose. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
Sometimes it diffuses the situation because you know, | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
we're not the bad guys, we haven't detained them, | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
we've not arrested them, we're there to look after them. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
And that sometimes calms them down, because they can come in screaming | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
and fighting and not happy at all, and we've got to look after them. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
OK, we're going to put you in here. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
-No! -DETAINEE SOBS | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
Not for long, then we'll take you to Boston, OK? | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
The young man has been arrested for breach of the peace. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
He's clearly quite upset. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
He's been searched, he's been put in one of the cells, | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
we're now monitoring on the CCTV here as well. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
And we'll monitor him all the way back, | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
the police officer's just filling out an arrest sheet, and we'll | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
hand that in to Boston custody when we arrive with the young man. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
They can then resume patrol or even if they need to take statements, | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
unlikely for a breach of the peace, | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
so they can go back straight out and continue patrolling. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
G4S claims the street-to-suite service has saved over | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
3,000 hours of police time in its first two years of operation. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:13 | |
In the Czech Republic, Tom is now reaching the | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
dramatic climax of his intensive bodyguarding course. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
It's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
It's been the hardest thing I've ever done. Ever. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
Both mentally and physically, well out of my comfort zone. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:38 | |
Ha-ha-ha! How you feeling? Good. Shows you worked hard. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:44 | |
Give him some water. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:45 | |
It changes your mentality and everything. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:48 | |
-They sort of grind you down to build you up. -Well done! | 0:28:48 | 0:28:51 | |
Tom is definitely what I'd describe as a rough diamond, | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
he's got a lot of potential. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
Tom! Bit of work to do there. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:58 | |
'I know he's struggled with the kind of homesick element,' | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
but this is the sort of course where people are asked to confront their | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
weaknesses, and certainly for Tom, he's been tested way past his limits. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:09 | |
Good. Go on, keep going, keep going. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
It's a career, it's not a job. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:13 | |
That's how I'm viewing it, | 0:29:13 | 0:29:14 | |
and I'm only three days away from the beginning | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
of what's to be a long career, it's good, it's a good feeling. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:20 | |
Come on, Tom, you can do this! | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
Providing everything goes swimmingly in the next few days, | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
because it's not going to be easy, I know that for a fact. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:29 | |
The last three days are the final examination. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
Tom needs to pass this to get his SIA licence | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
and qualify as a bodyguard. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
Right, are you guys ready for this? | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
This is Mr Charles Scott, | 0:29:41 | 0:29:44 | |
rated as one of the wealthiest people in the world. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
Mr Scott has approached us because | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
a threat has been uncovered to two of his daughters. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
Echo One is Miss Katherine Scott, Echo Two is Miss Alison Scott. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:58 | |
We have selected you six, as a team, to keep the Scott girls safe | 0:29:58 | 0:30:02 | |
during their upcoming trip to eastern Europe. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
Although the heiresses are going to be played by actors, in all | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
other ways Jamie will make the exercise as real as he possibly can. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:12 | |
As far as the guys are concerned, as far as any members of the public are | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
concerned, this is a live operation and it'll be treated accordingly. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:19 | |
OK, this job needs to be good. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
This is the culmination, lads, of everything you've been taught. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
Most of the trainees have military backgrounds, but Tom's only | 0:30:24 | 0:30:28 | |
experience is manning the doors of Liverpool nightclubs, so Jamie | 0:30:28 | 0:30:32 | |
knows that for him, this might be a bit of a challenge. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
He's a long way from being the finished item. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
He's a big guy, you know, 20st, tattoos, full sleeves, | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
he's a bit rough and ready, he comes across quite abrupt | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
and the way he speaks can be quite aggressive. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:45 | |
Who's having one? Paul? You're having one. Jonno? | 0:30:45 | 0:30:50 | |
He's never been in this kind of five-star environment, | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
and so for him, I think, dealing with high net-worths, | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
who have got a certain expectation on appearance | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
and social etiquette and things like that, that's probably where he's | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
going to struggle and that's what I'm most going | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
to be looking at for Tom. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:06 | |
In Stoke on Trent, CBI Security is run by Naj Hussain. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:34 | |
I was born and bred in Stoke. I'm a Stokey. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
Obviously, just like everywhere in the UK, you have | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
your good areas, you have your bad areas. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
Personally what I would say from a security aspect, | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
it's more antisocial behaviour | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
that we come across, and I think a root of a lot of the problems | 0:31:50 | 0:31:54 | |
is alcohol, people having alcohol, | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
whether it's teenagers or even adults. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
It's alcohol-fuelled crime. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
Naj and his team are providing security for a boxing night | 0:32:02 | 0:32:05 | |
in Stoke. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:07 | |
It's a night of social alcohol and social violence, | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
with potentially antisocial consequences. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:12 | |
DANCE MUSIC PLAYS | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
CROWD CHEERS | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
What we've got now is a fight with two local guys. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
They've both got a big following. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
It's going to get loud, it's going to get rowdy. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
CHEERING | 0:32:27 | 0:32:30 | |
-Whack him! -Come on! | 0:32:30 | 0:32:33 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
REFEREE: That's one's going to draw, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
The fight ends controversially and some of the crowd aren't very happy. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:51 | |
Wanker! | 0:32:51 | 0:32:53 | |
Waaanker! Fucking wanker. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:59 | |
In the aftermath, an argument breaks out between some women. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
Naj and some of his team have to step in. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
Girls, calm down, yeah? | 0:33:07 | 0:33:09 | |
My bag's gone, my bag's there! | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
Just women, as always. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:20 | |
A little incident between some ladies, some comments got | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
exchanged and obviously one didn't like what the other said. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
So, obviously, things like that, you just have to keep an eye out for. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:31 | |
But they all calmed down now, | 0:33:31 | 0:33:32 | |
we had a word and calmed it down and they've gone their own way. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
So far so good. Plenty left yet! | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
But the lady in the blue dress looks like she might | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
be about to cause trouble. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
Tony, take her straight out the fire exit. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
Take her out, get rid of it. Take it out. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
Naj wants to quietly remove her from the building, | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
to avoid triggering other trouble. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
But it's too late. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:04 | |
-Oi, oi! -Hey, fucking hell! | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
-Right, you have to leave. -I want my bag! | 0:34:15 | 0:34:19 | |
-You've got to leave, man. -I want my bag. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
Open the door. We're going to bring your bag out. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
Once she's out the building, on the street, | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
she'll be the responsibility of the police, not Naj. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:36 | |
But she won't leave until she's reunited with her handbag. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:42 | |
-Is that it? -There you go. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
Eddie, come to the front door, the front door. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:51 | |
Why are you grabbing me? | 0:34:51 | 0:34:53 | |
Another argument has started in the entrance hall | 0:34:53 | 0:34:55 | |
and it's drawing a large crowd of onlookers. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:57 | |
This is where once somebody's seen something going on, | 0:35:00 | 0:35:04 | |
everybody wants to have a go now. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:05 | |
Again, they try and remove the troublemaker from the building. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
The trouble is still continuing on the street, | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
but there, authority is passed to the local police. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:21 | |
The police have been called, but in the meantime until they come, | 0:35:21 | 0:35:24 | |
we've got to make sure that they can't come back in, | 0:35:24 | 0:35:26 | |
or they don't try to come back in, which they are at the moment. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:29 | |
I need all security to the front door, all security to the front door. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:36 | |
A fight starts round the corner. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:38 | |
In the process, one of Naj's team is injured. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:42 | |
I need all security outside to the front door, | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
I need all security outside. Outside, outside. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:49 | |
The police arrive to take care of the situation on the street. | 0:35:56 | 0:36:00 | |
Naj takes his team inside to assess the extent of his guard's injuries. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:04 | |
We put our body on the line to make sure everybody else is safe. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
So obviously, somebody who's fighting, | 0:36:11 | 0:36:13 | |
they've stepped in to make sure they're all right, and obviously | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
somebody's assaulted the door staff, and obviously he's got hurt then. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:20 | |
Ultimately our duty or jurisdiction stops at the end of the door, | 0:36:22 | 0:36:27 | |
but as humans as well and morals, you can't just stand there and | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
let somebody get hurt at the same time. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:31 | |
And that's what we were doing at the time | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
and obviously one of them's got assaulted in between that. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
And are you going to go to the hospital now? | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
I am, yeah. I've just got to sort all the team out, and then head | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
straight up to the hospital and see my colleague and my friend. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:46 | |
CHURCH BELLS CHIME | 0:36:49 | 0:36:52 | |
On the streets of Prague, planning is complete. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
The two heiresses have landed at the airport and Jamie | 0:36:55 | 0:36:58 | |
is waiting for Tom and the team to deliver them safely to the hotel. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:02 | |
This is where everything they've learnt will be put to the test. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
The drop-off goes smoothly, | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
and Tom's next duty is to escort the clients on | 0:37:16 | 0:37:20 | |
a discreet shopping trip around Prague's exclusive designer stores. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
But Jamie has a challenge awaiting. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
A paparazzi photographer intent on taking pictures of Tom's client. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:35 | |
Alison, can I get a photo of you? | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
Looking gorgeous, looking gorgeous. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
-Hey, can I get something for my blog as well? -Yeah, sure. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:48 | |
-Fantastic. -If there's any problems, let me know. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:51 | |
-What're you doing in Prague today? -Er, just a bit of shopping. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
You look absolutely stunning, do you normally dress up for shopping? | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
Yes, I do. Dress up every day. | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
The brief is that there wasn't to be too much unofficial photography. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
However, the client was obviously happy with it, | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
so Tom, rather than being heavy handed, was prepared to step back | 0:38:05 | 0:38:09 | |
and let the client do what she wanted to do, which is great. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
Miss Scott, would you like me to keep hold of your | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
bottle of water or get rid of it? | 0:38:16 | 0:38:18 | |
No, you can get rid of that now. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
Girls, girls, over here! Can I get a smile? | 0:38:20 | 0:38:23 | |
Jamie sends the photographer back in. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
And this time the girls DON'T want to be photographed. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:30 | |
I don't really want any... | 0:38:30 | 0:38:32 | |
No more photos, get rid of him. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
No more pictures, now. Can you get rid of him? | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
Cheers lads, nice one. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:38 | |
Sir, she's asked me nicely not to let any... | 0:38:38 | 0:38:40 | |
Whoa, no need for touching mate. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:41 | |
Sorry, sir, I'm just guiding you away. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:44 | |
Nikolai, stay with him, mate, stay with him, so he's not following us. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
Don't let him follow us. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:49 | |
Walking through the square was pretty good. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
What I wasn't so happy about was the way they | 0:38:51 | 0:38:53 | |
dealt with the paparazzi guy, walking along. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:56 | |
I hate the kind of big hand up, | 0:38:56 | 0:38:57 | |
it always looks bad news in the papers the following day. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:01 | |
From fending off paparazzi through to door work, | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
private security workers must always be aware of what they are, | 0:39:06 | 0:39:10 | |
and what they aren't allowed to do. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:13 | |
This becomes especially important as private security | 0:39:13 | 0:39:16 | |
workers are increasingly in roles formerly done by the police. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:21 | |
'He keeps his phone down his pants.' | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
Julian and Emily are on patrol for G4S in Spalding. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:30 | |
A report comes in of criminal damage to the house of | 0:39:31 | 0:39:34 | |
an 83-year old woman, | 0:39:34 | 0:39:36 | |
and Julian moves the van to where the suspect was last seen. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:40 | |
He sees a man in the grounds of a nearby community centre, | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
and radios the police. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
Bravo Golf 99, Bravo Golf 99. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:49 | |
Straight down the drive. About 100 metres in front of you. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
Bobble hat. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:54 | |
Bravo Golf 99, one person detained. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
-You all right, chaps? -Yeah, thank you. Thanks for your help. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:15 | |
BEEPING | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
Come on. There you go. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
Just stand in the corner there for me. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
There you go, buddy. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
ALARM BLARES | 0:40:27 | 0:40:28 | |
With Julian taking care of the suspect, | 0:40:28 | 0:40:30 | |
the police officers gather evidence of damage at the community centre. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:35 | |
They decide to arrest the man in the Santa hat - | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
something Julian cannot do. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:39 | |
BEEPING CONTINUES | 0:40:39 | 0:40:41 | |
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence | 0:40:42 | 0:40:45 | |
if you don't mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:49 | |
The difficulty is, with powers of arrest, | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
as a normal citizen - and that's what I am - | 0:40:51 | 0:40:53 | |
you have to see the crime being committed | 0:40:53 | 0:40:57 | |
and see the person commit the crime to have a citizen's power of arrest, | 0:40:57 | 0:41:00 | |
whereas a police officer can suspect a crime has been committed | 0:41:00 | 0:41:04 | |
and suspect that that person is responsible. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:06 | |
So all I've seen is a male, | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
there, potentially involved. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:11 | |
I didn't personally see him commit a crime. I see him, he runs off, | 0:41:11 | 0:41:15 | |
clearly him, and when I was a police officer, | 0:41:15 | 0:41:18 | |
I'd have given chase and arrested him. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:19 | |
But as a member of the public I don't have the power | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
to arrest that person. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:23 | |
Just stand on the yellow line and face the sergeant. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:35 | |
Julian takes the man to the police station, | 0:41:35 | 0:41:38 | |
where he'll stay the night, before being questioned in the morning. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:42 | |
He's been as good as gold, so is it all right to take his cuffs off? | 0:41:42 | 0:41:45 | |
Yep, that's fine. Thank you. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:46 | |
There you go. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:49 | |
It allows the police to do what they want to do | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
and that's protect the public, fight crime, detect crime. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
If they're tucked up in custody for two, three, four hours, | 0:41:55 | 0:41:59 | |
it's frustrating for them, because they want to be out there, | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
so it relieves them. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
We're stuck in custody, they're out there. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
DOOR SLAMS | 0:42:09 | 0:42:10 | |
In Prague, it's the last day of Tom's bodyguarding course | 0:42:19 | 0:42:23 | |
and the final assessment is taking a new twist. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:26 | |
The team have been told that there has been a threat | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
to kidnap the two heiresses. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
Due to that information coming to light, | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
we're now going to raise the threat level | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
and you're going to be carrying for the remainder of this task. OK? | 0:42:35 | 0:42:39 | |
I've got weapons here for you. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:41 | |
You've each got a Glock and two magazines. | 0:42:41 | 0:42:44 | |
Put them on the bed. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:46 | |
Or on the floor. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:47 | |
OK, the weapons haven't been cleared, lads. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
Safe direction before you start clearing weapons, please. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
The guns are real, but the ammunition is blank. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
Be very, very aware, | 0:42:58 | 0:43:00 | |
moving around town, in and out of cars, | 0:43:00 | 0:43:02 | |
about showing out with these weapons. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
You do have permits, however let's not cause a scene. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:09 | |
It's nerve-racking. It's our first time carrying a live weapon on task. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:17 | |
You don't want to draw too much attention to yourself in public, | 0:43:17 | 0:43:22 | |
so you've just got to keep it concealed under there, so... | 0:43:22 | 0:43:26 | |
Tom and the team are taking their clients | 0:43:29 | 0:43:31 | |
to see a disused factory site. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
As far as the guys are concerned, it's an abandoned factory | 0:43:42 | 0:43:46 | |
that the girls are looking at to purchase for redevelopment. | 0:43:46 | 0:43:48 | |
What they don't know is they've been under surveillance | 0:43:48 | 0:43:51 | |
and the enemy kidnap team have made it to the site. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:55 | |
We're going to get tooled up, switch to our alter-egos | 0:43:55 | 0:43:58 | |
as Chechen criminals, | 0:43:58 | 0:44:01 | |
and then put in a nice little ambush on the guys. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:04 | |
This is quite an extreme scenario that they're going into now. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:09 | |
These events do unfortunately happen, | 0:44:09 | 0:44:11 | |
and not just in the traditional environments | 0:44:11 | 0:44:13 | |
of the Middle East... | 0:44:13 | 0:44:16 | |
..South America, but, they can happen on the streets of London. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:21 | |
GUN CLICKS | 0:44:21 | 0:44:22 | |
Nikolai, go up. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:24 | |
Push forward and check the doors. Have a look in there. | 0:44:26 | 0:44:29 | |
James, keep checking... | 0:44:35 | 0:44:37 | |
INAUDIBLE | 0:44:59 | 0:45:02 | |
WOMAN: What's going on? | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |
Just come over here a second. | 0:45:04 | 0:45:06 | |
GUN FIRES, WOMAN SCREAMS | 0:45:09 | 0:45:11 | |
This way, this way! Head down! Keep your head down! | 0:45:11 | 0:45:13 | |
It's OK! Keep your head down! | 0:45:13 | 0:45:15 | |
Get your head down! Keep your head down! | 0:45:15 | 0:45:17 | |
GUN FIRES, WOMAN CALLS OUT | 0:45:19 | 0:45:21 | |
GUN CONTINUES TO FIRE | 0:45:21 | 0:45:23 | |
Go! Keep your head down! Keep your head down! | 0:45:23 | 0:45:26 | |
Over in the car! | 0:45:26 | 0:45:28 | |
GUN FIRES, WOMAN SCREAMS IN DISTANCE | 0:45:28 | 0:45:29 | |
Get in, get in, get in. | 0:45:29 | 0:45:31 | |
-WOMAN SCREAMS IN DISTANCE -GET IN! | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
-WOMAN SCREAMS -Move! -Move it! Go! Go! | 0:45:35 | 0:45:38 | |
-WOMAN: What's going on? -Keep your head down! Keep your heads down! | 0:45:39 | 0:45:42 | |
-Go! -Move! Move! | 0:45:42 | 0:45:44 | |
Keep your head down till we get clear. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:48 | |
Just remember, though, the next time you're in that situation, | 0:45:48 | 0:45:51 | |
potentially, the bullets won't be blanks, | 0:45:51 | 0:45:54 | |
and the person that is pretending to kill you | 0:45:54 | 0:45:57 | |
will actually be trying to kill you. | 0:45:57 | 0:45:59 | |
This job we've chosen | 0:45:59 | 0:46:01 | |
and this path we put ourselves on | 0:46:01 | 0:46:03 | |
is going to put you in harm's way - | 0:46:03 | 0:46:05 | |
that's the nature of this job. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:07 | |
So everything I've shown you has been shown to you for a reason, | 0:46:07 | 0:46:11 | |
and it's there to make you | 0:46:11 | 0:46:13 | |
someone that is capable of keeping someone else alive. | 0:46:13 | 0:46:16 | |
What I'm going to do now is hand you some certificates. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:19 | |
OK, first up then, Tom. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:21 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:46:21 | 0:46:23 | |
'Tom excelled on the ground and he showed a natural ability. | 0:46:23 | 0:46:26 | |
'Going from being very worried about him at the beginning of the course' | 0:46:26 | 0:46:29 | |
and wondering if he would even pass | 0:46:29 | 0:46:31 | |
to now contemplating the fact that he's going to pass with a merit, | 0:46:31 | 0:46:34 | |
I think says a lot about him and his natural ability. | 0:46:34 | 0:46:38 | |
And I think anyone that has Tom looking after them | 0:46:38 | 0:46:41 | |
-is going to be in very, very safe hands. -Cheers, mate. | 0:46:41 | 0:46:44 | |
It's been the hardest 25 days of my life, bar none. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:47 | |
But now I've got my qualification, I'm ready to go out on foot | 0:46:47 | 0:46:51 | |
and actually do the job, | 0:46:51 | 0:46:53 | |
so it's been a massive achievement for me, this. | 0:46:53 | 0:46:57 | |
I think if you grow up in a certain industry, | 0:47:13 | 0:47:15 | |
that's what you're used to. | 0:47:15 | 0:47:18 | |
People say you're putting yourself in the line of danger and all that, | 0:47:18 | 0:47:21 | |
but you could do that in any job - | 0:47:21 | 0:47:23 | |
you could work on a crane and be in danger. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:26 | |
So it's what you're used to, it's in the blood, | 0:47:26 | 0:47:29 | |
it's what you become, really. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:31 | |
People like to see the police walking the streets. | 0:47:42 | 0:47:44 | |
If they want to see that, they need to accept the private sector | 0:47:44 | 0:47:47 | |
and allow the private sector | 0:47:47 | 0:47:49 | |
to do some of the roles that, historically, were the police's roles, | 0:47:49 | 0:47:52 | |
to allow the police to do what they want to do, | 0:47:52 | 0:47:55 | |
and what they need to be doing. | 0:47:55 | 0:47:57 | |
I love the roads, I love the area, I love the people. | 0:48:04 | 0:48:06 | |
I much prefer this, | 0:48:06 | 0:48:08 | |
it feels like you're doing something very proactive. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:12 | |
It's a great job, it really is. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:15 | |
Mind you, I would say that, I own the company, ha! | 0:48:16 | 0:48:19 |
