0:00:02 > 0:00:06Neighbourhood policing has come a long way since the days of Dixon of Dock Green.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Good evening, all.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10From inner-city estates to suburbia,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15this new generation of community police officers
0:00:15 > 0:00:17are on the frontline.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20- What are you doing here?- Police!
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Their aim is to develop a stronger bond with the community...
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Have you had any problems, then? Over the last week.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29... crack down on the crimes taking place on their doorstep...
0:00:29 > 0:00:33- Have you been drinking tonight.- No. - Why is your speech slurred then?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35... formulate fast action plans to take down the criminals.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37You have to be careful.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Who do you think you are? Eh?
0:00:41 > 0:00:44In this new series of Neighbourhood Blues,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47we go to the Humberside police region
0:00:47 > 0:00:51and get exclusive access to 24 teams of neighbourhood police officers...
0:00:51 > 0:00:54You're under arrest, mate.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57... as they tackle the problems blighting local people...
0:00:57 > 0:01:02You're under arrest on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06... and rise to the challenge of making the streets a safer place.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Coming up...
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Intelligence gathered by a bobby on the beat sees the neighbourhood team
0:01:36 > 0:01:38launch a major strike
0:01:38 > 0:01:41to break down the doors of a drug baron's empire.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45We are looking at hundreds of thousands of pounds, really.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51The police mount patrols to tackle Hull's homelessness problem...
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Good evening, guys.- Good evening. - Hello.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Are you two new? I've not met you before.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00... and a local takeaway is turned into a war zone
0:02:00 > 0:02:03following a vicious attack by a gang of youths.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05We were just trying to stop the fight.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08We didn't know he was going to get bottled.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The police frequently come in for flak for not being tough enough
0:02:15 > 0:02:18on criminals who commit the types of low-level crime
0:02:18 > 0:02:21that can make everyday life a misery.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Neighbourhood policing is supposed to change that.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29We're in Humberside to find out if it's really working.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Hull was once a thriving centre for shipping and manufacturing.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40The decline of those industries saw widespread unemployment
0:02:40 > 0:02:41and social deprivation.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Which, in turn, led to crime rates rocketing.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53And it being branded one of the most lawless places in Britain.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56But things have changed.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The city has undergone a major facelift and its police force
0:02:59 > 0:03:02has become a nationwide leader, putting neighbourhood policing
0:03:02 > 0:03:06at the heart of its fight against crime.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Police! Everyone outside!
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Chief Inspector Dave Rawding heads up
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Hull's four neighbourhood police teams
0:03:15 > 0:03:19and believes community policing has had a major impact.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23What neighbourhood policing has delivered is that consistency,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26that robustness that allows communities to gain confidence
0:03:26 > 0:03:29because they know the uniformed staff working in their areas
0:03:29 > 0:03:33and that's delivering improvements in community confidence.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37It's helping solve crime, because when the public know the people
0:03:37 > 0:03:41that police their areas, they're willing to give information. It's snippets of information
0:03:41 > 0:03:44that we can build together with the intelligence picture
0:03:44 > 0:03:48to understand the problems in our communities and then start to deliver solutions.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Today, he's launching a new initiative called
0:03:52 > 0:03:56the Neighbourhood Network which brings together concerned residents
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- and business people.- It's great to see so many people here
0:04:00 > 0:04:04who're interested in keeping their community safe. That's really reassuring.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Its aim is to see everyone working alongside the police
0:04:07 > 0:04:10to reduce crime and develop a good community spirit.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Many people say that's been lost over the years,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15clearly you people care about your communities,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19so you've got some of that spirit and that needs to be transferred to other people.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21The hope is people will become more neighbourly
0:04:21 > 0:04:24and look out for each other.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28We hope the network will be an opportunity for people to take more ownership in this.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31APPLAUSE
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Complaints about drug-dealing account for over half of all calls
0:04:36 > 0:04:39that the neighbourhood police team receive and across the country,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- police take swift action against such concerns.- We did have a problem
0:04:43 > 0:04:47with drug dealers. We did have that for a few months,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51the summer before last, but the police soon sorted that out, as well.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54As a result of a questionnaire that went out to the public
0:04:54 > 0:04:57across the city, one of the things that came back
0:04:57 > 0:04:59was the fact that they wanted to see more activity around
0:04:59 > 0:05:01dealing with drugs problems
0:05:01 > 0:05:05and they wanted police to go out and directly target the offenders.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Local residents run into youngsters taking drugs at bus shelters
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- and even playgrounds. - I've seen youths
0:05:14 > 0:05:17smoking cannabis and stuff in the parks,
0:05:17 > 0:05:22The age of the children that I've seen do that is quite worrying,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- because they are young teenagers or children.- And in Humberside,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- with the problem dangerously escalating...- So, come here.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31... the team decided to formulate
0:05:31 > 0:05:36a new plan to wipe out the dealers at source.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39It was just another day making a beat walk
0:05:39 > 0:05:41for neighbourhood officer Patrick Cook,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43when he spotted something out of place
0:05:43 > 0:05:45on a local industrial park.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Well, it all started in the beginning of December.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I was patrolling the area and could smell a strong smell of cannabis.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57These three little chimneys on the top of the work unit there,
0:05:57 > 0:06:01they appeared in the last three or four weeks.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04There's been no activity at these units for the last month.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08So, I thought why have these chimneys appeared? I walked into
0:06:08 > 0:06:13this business yard and the smell was very pungent of cannabis.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I applied for a flyover for the helicopter
0:06:17 > 0:06:21to get some sort of heat force and it came back as positive.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Which gave me reason to believe there was a cannabis factory setting up.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Over at the station, it's now a race against the clock
0:06:36 > 0:06:38for Mick to assemble a search team
0:06:38 > 0:06:41to execute a flash raid on the property.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Does everybody sort of know the layout of where we're going?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53No. On your right-hand side, there are four units
0:06:53 > 0:06:57that look relatively new compared to the rest of that estate, OK.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Mike is heading up Strike team A, who will go in
0:07:00 > 0:07:03at the front of the building. Strike Team B
0:07:03 > 0:07:06will be headed up by PC Lorraine Summerfield
0:07:06 > 0:07:08who'll be taking care of the rear entrance.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10As late as yesterday,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14the smell that was coming from that property was really strong,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17so, there's every suggestion that it's close to being harvested.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- We know that units... - BLEEPED OUT
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- ..are sublet to a company that we think hails from... - BLEEPED OUT
0:07:26 > 0:07:28And nobody seems to know a great deal more about it,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31but they've had it for about 12 weeks.
0:07:31 > 0:07:3312 weeks is about spot on.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35If anybody knows what they're doing,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38you can grow a decent amount of cannabis in the space of 12 weeks,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40so that would tie in quite nicely with it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43These sorts of jobs get booby-trapped and all sorts,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46wires going from light switches and all sorts of stupid stuff,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48so just be real mindful of that.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02With the brief completed,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Lorraine organises her strike unit. - We're going around
0:08:05 > 0:08:08the back of the building, just to cover the rear, really,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12just in case we get any runners, just trying catch whoever's seen leaving.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17With preparations complete, the whole team
0:08:17 > 0:08:20of 20 officers head in convoy to the location.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30On arrival, Lorraine heads to lock down
0:08:30 > 0:08:32all of the back entrances.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35This is kind of where we really need to be, down there,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37but we can't get in so we're going through the caravan repairers.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42You can smell it. Yeah.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45We've got the helicopter overhead, they can keep an eye out
0:08:45 > 0:08:49for any heat sources. We'll try and get around as best as we possibly can
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- and see what we can keep an eye on. - With no chance of anyone
0:08:52 > 0:08:54escaping out of the back door,
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Mick's team move in to break down the iron gates protecting the entrance.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06With the gates smashed, the police push forward, swinging the battering ram
0:09:06 > 0:09:08to break through the main doorway.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15But some information on the radio comes in.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The eye in the sky spies possible fugitives,
0:09:18 > 0:09:22suspects have been seen trying to flee through a side entrance of the property.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27The news sends Lorraine flying into action,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29looking for anybody on the run.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I'll go back this way to make sure nobody's coming back over the wall.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44With information from the chopper relayed to officers on the ground,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48the neighbourhood team are able to move in and make the arrests.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I'll pass them over one at a time, Chantelle.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Get somebody else to come down.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03The suspects are Vietnamese and speak very little English.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06They are placed under arrest and patted down.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10You're both under arrest for cultivating cannabis,
0:10:10 > 0:10:11or suspicion of.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Back around the rear of the building,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Lorraine gives the go-ahead for her team to force entry.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24But on entering the building, the neighbourhood team
0:10:24 > 0:10:28are immediately confronted by a potentially dangerous hazard.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32As you can see, these are all the power packs which are providing
0:10:32 > 0:10:36the electricity for the lighting, heating, extraction units.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39We don't know where it's running to,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41we don't know if the place is booby-trapped.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Masses of electrical wiring, illegally rigged together to provide
0:10:45 > 0:10:48a power source, are strewn across the ground
0:10:48 > 0:10:53and dangled from the ceiling. Electrocution is a real risk.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58It's a nightmare when it comes to our safety, really.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Which is quite frightening.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03With the suspects awaiting transfer to custody,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06the neighbourhood team now have to wait
0:11:06 > 0:11:08for the arrival of the electricity board.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12The location must be made safe before they can enter.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Only then can they confirm their suspicions about the property
0:11:15 > 0:11:17housing a cannabis farm.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Smashing a major drugs ring
0:11:25 > 0:11:27makes the headlines for the neighbourhood team,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30but it's the work they do out and about on the streets
0:11:30 > 0:11:33that makes the biggest difference.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40There are over half a million homeless people
0:11:40 > 0:11:42sleeping rough in the UK.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Since the credit crunch struck,
0:11:44 > 0:11:49the number of people living on the streets in Hull has almost doubled.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52You get a few people outside the station, like, "Can I borrow 50p?"
0:11:52 > 0:11:56And if you have a bit of spare change, you give it to them,
0:11:56 > 0:11:57help them out a bit.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Many of those without a roof over their heads
0:12:01 > 0:12:04also have drug and alcohol problems to contend with.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I was mugged by a homeless person,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09and that affected my confidence a real lot.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It wasn't a very nice experience for me.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14There's a lot of people drinking outside hostels,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18and there's a lot of people drinking around the corner from the hostels.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Homelessness is one of the most difficult and sensitive issues
0:12:22 > 0:12:25the neighbourhood team find themselves confronted with.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Every night in Hull city centre, the police perform
0:12:30 > 0:12:34checks on homeless people found sleeping around the city.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Tonight, Alison Carter and Raychel Delph
0:12:38 > 0:12:39are walking the south side beat,
0:12:39 > 0:12:43an area often frequented by rough sleepers.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Some of them are alcohol-dependent, some of them are drug-dependent,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50so they've all got their own underlying issues.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54They're there not just to enforce the law,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57but offer help and advice about getting off the streets.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00A lot of my job is liaising with the homeless,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03making sure they're all right, and pointing them
0:13:03 > 0:13:07in the right direction as to where they can get help from.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10And it's not long before they come across their first charges
0:13:10 > 0:13:12without a roof over their head.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Alison and Raychel listen to the homeless people's story,
0:13:16 > 0:13:21and offer some help and support to get them off the street.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Trinity Church do a lovely breakfast club.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25It's a really nice, friendly place to go,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29they'll put you some breakfast on, every Sunday morning.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Alison believes that while it is a police officer's duty
0:13:32 > 0:13:33to uphold the law,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37it's also important to show care and compassion...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Will you try and make sure you think about the situation...
0:13:40 > 0:13:43..when confronted by people who are facing genuine social problems
0:13:43 > 0:13:46that have caused their lives to hit a low point.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48We're not just there to deal with them
0:13:48 > 0:13:52when they're doing things wrong, we're there to offer advice,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55and once they realise that, they're more willing to communicate with us.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Come on, then, let's get a move on.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58The two homeless people move on
0:13:58 > 0:14:02in the direction of the shelter Raychel and Alison mentioned.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Whilst they may have the prospect of a warm bed and a meal
0:14:05 > 0:14:09ahead of them, on the other side of town, Sergeant Steve Lamb
0:14:09 > 0:14:12and PC Alan Cowley have come across another rough sleeper
0:14:12 > 0:14:14who's camped out in the doorway
0:14:14 > 0:14:17of a premises within the city's no-drinking zone.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Have you got any beer on you tonight?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23The man is sleeping off what looks like a very heavy hangover.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Let's have a look.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- That was your first lie.- BLEEP! - Blooming heck.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Because he's in an area where no street drinking is allowed,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36the police confiscate the bottles of beer he is nursing.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Seeing his drink running down the drain
0:14:38 > 0:14:40isn't going down so well with the homeless man.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- You- BLEEP!- filthy dog.- Don't swear. You'll get locked up in a minute.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49I said filthy dogs, I wasn't swearing.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51All right?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Recognising that the man is drunk,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56they choose to overlook his abuse this time,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59but they do issue him with a caution to warn him away from the area.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03The first time, I swore.
0:15:03 > 0:15:0521.19.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07You record that.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10If you return within 48 hours from tonight, you'll be arrested
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- and placed in the cell and placed before the courts, OK?- Right.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16The man complied with the police and no further action was taken.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Working in close contact with drink and drugs counsellors
0:15:20 > 0:15:21and accommodation charities,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24the neighbourhood police always try and find ways to encourage
0:15:24 > 0:15:29homeless people off the streets, and find a way to rebuild their lives.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Back over on the south side, Alison and Raychel
0:15:32 > 0:15:35are making their nightly visit to a city centre homeless centre.
0:15:35 > 0:15:4060% of homeless people remain on the streets for over two years,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42which means there are plenty of familiar faces
0:15:42 > 0:15:44for the neighbourhood team to say hello to.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Evening, guys.- Evening!- Hello!
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Are you two guys new? I've not met you before.- No, you haven't.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I'm Raychel. You'll see me most nights. These guys know me.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Open between 10pm and 7am, the shelter offers a bed,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01a shower and a warm meal to those who need it.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09But with over four years' experience as a neighbourhood office,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Alison knows there is more heartache and hardship for the homeless
0:16:12 > 0:16:16than there are success stories of getting clean and off the streets.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I've seen it myself, and I've only been in the job four years,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21but you start off with seeing one person on the streets
0:16:21 > 0:16:23who's quite young with not many issues,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26maybe fallen out with their family, to getting into drugs.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30They're at that crossroads that they can either go down or pull themselves out.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Unfortunately, I've seen many of them that never get out,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34and just go down a very slippery slope.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- Right, we'll take a walk down. See you later.- Bye.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Despite the neighbourhood team's best efforts,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45some people refuse to be helped.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Drink and drug abuse can lead to a feeling of helplessness
0:16:48 > 0:16:51and isolation, but also see tempers flare when greeted by the police.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Don't be silly.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58In the north of the city, a man carrying a mass of belongings
0:16:58 > 0:17:01has been reported sleeping outside a church community centre.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04PC Gareth Walker heads over to see if he can help.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Is he blocking your fire exit?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Is there any problem with him blocking your fire exit?- Well...
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- Not ideal.- He had his feet in front of it.- It's not ideal, is it?- No.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19The church warden is concerned that the man may frighten elderly people
0:17:19 > 0:17:23using the community centre, and has asked for him to be moved on
0:17:23 > 0:17:26before the group finishes their meeting and files out.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I'll make sure there's somebody here, about quarter to nine time,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- all right?- Right. Bye. - Thank you.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39Sadly, the homeless man can't see why he may be creating a problem.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41She said they don't want you here,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43and they don't want more of the people coming
0:17:43 > 0:17:45that sleep here in the doorway.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It's a group of people that get quite intimidated,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50as you can see from the lady's face.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55- I'm going to get a phone, and I'm going to phone...- OK.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Gareth explains to the man why he must leave,
0:17:58 > 0:17:59but voices quickly get raised.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I'm telling you, at quarter to nine, we will be here,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- and if they want you moving, you will be removed.- Well, good!
0:18:06 > 0:18:10And also, and also, I'm going to make sure...
0:18:10 > 0:18:12No neighbourhood officer wants to be seen to be
0:18:12 > 0:18:15hard against the homeless, so the hope is the man will listen
0:18:15 > 0:18:18to the church warden's concerns and move on.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23But experience tells Gareth this may not be the case.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26They don't want people coming out of there to be faced with
0:18:26 > 0:18:30drunken yobs that are sat there doing whatever they do,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33they urinate in the doorways, they defecate on the doorways
0:18:33 > 0:18:34and drink and give general abuse.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37It's not what anybody should put up with in the town,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39and it won't be tolerated.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40The neighbourhood policing team
0:18:40 > 0:18:42will take whatever action it sees fit,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45so I'll make sure there's a patrol at the church at quarter to nine
0:18:45 > 0:18:49for when the people come out so they can feel safe when they're leaving.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Find out later if the homeless man decides to put up a fight
0:18:56 > 0:18:59for what he thinks is his right to live on the streets.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04- We've had a complaint, so you need to move.- Complaint from who?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Still to come: A gang of delinquent youths attack a local takeaway.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20So many kids walked in, and they start kicking one of the lads.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Full of it in there.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28And the raid on a suspected cannabis factory sees the team
0:19:28 > 0:19:29hit the jackpot.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Looking at hundreds of thousands of pounds, really.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40The economic slump may be to blame for the rise in people
0:19:40 > 0:19:44ending up on the streets, but it's not the cause of a nationwide rise
0:19:44 > 0:19:48in teenage antisocial behaviour, and as we're about to find out,
0:19:48 > 0:19:54when teenagers get out of control, the consequences can be devastating.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01All around the UK,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05antisocial behaviour caused by misbehaving kids is a major concern.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08A young lad actually got beaten up on my front lawn.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11About eight, nine kids surrounded him
0:20:11 > 0:20:16and they were filming it on their phones.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19One of them karate-kicked him in the chest.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22There are quite a few old people that live on my estate, as well,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25so it's not great when you've got kids running about
0:20:25 > 0:20:27and causing disruptions and stuff.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I don't know, they think they own the place.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I don't know, maybe it's just how they've been brought up.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Community policing is always looking for long-term solutions
0:20:37 > 0:20:38to trap troublemakers
0:20:38 > 0:20:42and make sure residents feel safe on the streets where they live.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Over in Marfleet, the current initiative there
0:20:46 > 0:20:49is spearheaded by the PCSO Samantha Gregory.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53A local resident, Sam, has used her local knowledge of the area,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56and those who live there, to try and keep the kids in check.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59We've got workers going out late in the night
0:20:59 > 0:21:02and they're trying to engage with the kids, as well.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Is there anything specific that they'd like to do to keep them
0:21:05 > 0:21:08off the streets, basically, that's what our aim is.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Today, she has set up a cop shop.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14It is a drop-in point for residents to get one-on-one time
0:21:14 > 0:21:16with their local neighbourhood officers
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and share concerns about problem behaviour where they live.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Do you want me to make some enquiries for you and see if I can
0:21:21 > 0:21:23find out if they will do a one-to-one.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26These drop-ins are held on a regular basis
0:21:26 > 0:21:29and provide the neighbourhood team with crucial information
0:21:29 > 0:21:30that they can use to tackle crime.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Brilliant. Well, you know where I am if you need me.- I do. Thank you.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38The current worry is about gangs of youths hanging around
0:21:38 > 0:21:40a local shopping promenade.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Loads and loads of kids on the estate riding bikes
0:21:43 > 0:21:45and kicking footballs against doors and shutters.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48There is a problem with the empty beer bottles, definitely.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Again I witnessed last night,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54a group of boys known to everybody on the estate.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I know they're at school.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58They don't hang around here, they hang around in the park,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00pinching people's bins to set things alight.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05As well as holding surgeries,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Sam gets to know the locals even better by being seen walking
0:22:07 > 0:22:12her beat around the Great Field estate, home to over 5,000 families.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Hiya. Are you all right? - Yes, you?- Yes, thank you.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18It was an area traditionally beset by problem youths starting fights,
0:22:18 > 0:22:23intimidating locals and causing widespread acts of vandalism.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Such instances of antisocial behaviour
0:22:25 > 0:22:30have decreased by 25% in the past two years.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33But there is still work to be done and no-one knows this more than Sid,
0:22:33 > 0:22:34the owner of a local takeaway.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Hello! Are you all right?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Sid was recently the victim
0:22:38 > 0:22:42of a violent crime carried out by a gang of local kids.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45With unemployment amongst youths running at over 60%,
0:22:45 > 0:22:50trouble is never far away and Sid's takeaway is on the frontline.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55This was the worst. Everything has happened to me here.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57All the windows have been broken.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I used to get windows broken every week.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04My car has been broken, shops have been set on fire on occasion.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06All sorts of things happened to me.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10As part of improvements to the safety of his premises,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Sid was given a grant to kit out his place with a state of the art
0:23:13 > 0:23:18CCTV camera setup and it paid dividends.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23With every frame of the horrific attack captured in high definition.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Scenes of violence follow that may be disturbing to some people.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29It was just a normal night for Sid and his staff
0:23:29 > 0:23:32when a young man enters and orders food.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36But another boy shiftily follows him into the takeaway.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Another youth then opens the door and starts hurling abuse
0:23:42 > 0:23:43and asking for a fight.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Sid and his boys try to clear them out of the takeaway,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52but the youths have other ideas and decide to start a punch-up.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Suddenly the shop is flooded by a mob of kids who initially
0:24:04 > 0:24:05break up the fighting boys.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Sid and his son try to calm everyone down and ask them
0:24:12 > 0:24:13to leave again.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18It looks like the situation may have been diffused
0:24:18 > 0:24:25but as Sid turns his back, another boy lunges in for a fight
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and the situation inside the takeaway reaches flashpoint.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35About seven, eight kids walked in
0:24:35 > 0:24:38and they start kicking one of the lads.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46I can't see somebody just getting beaten up in front of you
0:24:46 > 0:24:48and you don't do anything.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53We tried to separate... Me and my son came out, he is only 16.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58He helps me over the weekends and suddenly one of the lads,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01he hit him with a bottle and he fell on the floor.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Sid tries to call the police but his son is cowardly attacked
0:25:08 > 0:25:09whilst trying to break up the fight,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13smashed over the head with a bottle and sent crashing to the floor.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I was just trying to stop the fight.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18We didn't know who was going to get bottled.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22I was facing the opposite way.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I didn't see it.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29I got hit and it knocked me unconscious. I was knocked out.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40The violent youth who attacked Sammy then goes for Sid,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42slashing him with a broken bottle.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46The staff try to defend themselves with a hockey stick
0:25:46 > 0:25:49but even this cannot protect them from the attack.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Sid and the staff eventually manage to chase the attackers
0:25:54 > 0:25:56out of the shop.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59But Sid is seriously hurt.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04With a large gash to his head losing blood,
0:26:04 > 0:26:08he staggers to the door, locking it, and then calling 999.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Despite Sid and his son needing seven stitches each to the head,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16he has managed to remain positive,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19in no small part due to the support provided by Sam
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and the neighbourhood team.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25These kids, there are a few idiots who do cause
0:26:25 > 0:26:29problems around here and they are the only ones who need to be sorted.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31The rest of the community is fine.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36It was Sam's local knowledge and detective work,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40which after viewing the CCTV, led to all the culprits being
0:26:40 > 0:26:43rounded up within 24 hours of the attack.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47They're basically a group that I recognise.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51So I recognise him, I recognise him, I recognise him.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55When you first watch it, you're trying to write names down
0:26:55 > 0:26:59to just double check that you've got everything in place.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04Luckily, I could identify the two suspects for the quite nasty
0:27:04 > 0:27:08assault on Sid and his son, which then obviously lead to them
0:27:08 > 0:27:10being arrested.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14There is Sid's son. You see he got hit, whacked in the head by a bottle.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20And then what happens is, he then comes back in and glasses Sid
0:27:20 > 0:27:22and starts punching him,
0:27:22 > 0:27:26then he comes in to have his little bit of dig.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30The only reason I knew most of these kids' names
0:27:30 > 0:27:33is because I've built a database up with myself.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Most of them obviously you've dealt with for low-level ASB,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39you've stopped them in the street because they're playing football,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42or you've stopped them because they've been throwing stones
0:27:42 > 0:27:46at somebody's house, so obviously you get to know that person's face.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48It is all about knowledge.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53It is going out there and finding, chatting to people, talking to people.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Even after six years on the job, Sam is still shocked
0:27:57 > 0:28:02by the violent attack she witnesses unfolding on the CCTV footage.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Over the years I have been here, it is the worst I have seen.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Being smacked over the head with a glass bottle is not a very
0:28:08 > 0:28:11nice thing when all you're trying to do is run a business.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14But Sam knows the fast action of the neighbourhood team
0:28:14 > 0:28:17in rounding up the troublemakers, combined with
0:28:17 > 0:28:21the shop's having such high quality CCTV, has sent a message
0:28:21 > 0:28:25to those looking to cause problems in the future.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Touch wood, that was just a one-off incident and it never happens again.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31The main culprit involved in the assault received a nine-month
0:28:31 > 0:28:34suspended prison sentence for affray.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39In addition, he has to serve 150 hours of community service
0:28:39 > 0:28:43and a six-month curfew, meaning he cannot leave home after 7pm
0:28:43 > 0:28:45until 7am the following morning.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Back over in Hull city centre,
0:28:53 > 0:28:56the neighbourhood team have mounted a major operation to bust
0:28:56 > 0:28:58a suspected cannabis farm
0:28:58 > 0:29:02they believe to be housed in an industrial unit.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06An early-morning raid on the property has seen
0:29:06 > 0:29:10two Vietnamese man arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14The suspects are transferred to custody where a translator
0:29:14 > 0:29:16will assist the police in questioning them.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23But the property had been deemed too dangerous to search
0:29:23 > 0:29:27because of the exposed electrical wires that ran through it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30The electricity board has been on site
0:29:30 > 0:29:32and made safe the supply to the building,
0:29:32 > 0:29:37meaning the neighbourhood team can now proceed with their search.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39As the officers sweep through the building...
0:29:39 > 0:29:44There is a room full of it in there.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47..they are confronted by an astonishing sight.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48There is another room there.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52An indoor cannabis plantation.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Thousands of potted plants filling room after room.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02A good, substantial haul. We could be looking at hundreds of thousands of pounds, really.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08The jungle trail of leaves and the overpowering stench of the plants
0:30:08 > 0:30:12leads the officers upstairs, where hundreds more are discovered.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Oh, my God.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I've just had a very, very quick count
0:30:16 > 0:30:19and I'm estimating there's 300 plants in this room.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22It's on an industrial scale, obviously.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25It's for production, it's certainly not for somebody's personal use.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30It's a proper organised business, possibly to fund illegal activities.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35As the search continues, not only are many more plants found,
0:30:35 > 0:30:39but also evidence of the appalling conditions the Vietnamese men
0:30:39 > 0:30:41working there had been living in.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Basically, what you see here is the living quarters for guys
0:30:47 > 0:30:49that we found inside the property.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52And this is as basic as it can get.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56They're sleeping on two or three duvets, they've got a laptop each.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59And a box of noodles. And that is literally all they've got.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03And these guys are what we call gardeners, really.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05They're put in here by somebody else.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I have no doubt, when we get to the bottom of it,
0:31:07 > 0:31:09they will turn out to be illegal immigrants.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11In another room,
0:31:11 > 0:31:15a further health hazard is uncovered in the form of highly toxic
0:31:15 > 0:31:19chemical fertiliser, meant only for use on outdoor farmland.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24The crop of cannabis was close to being ready for harvest,
0:31:24 > 0:31:29meaning the raid happened just in time to prevent it hitting the street.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31The plants, I would say, are very close to maturity.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34They're flowering and they're giving off a smell,
0:31:34 > 0:31:37the flowers are a little bit sticky, as well.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42In my opinion, they're close to maturity and would be harvested soon.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Scene of crime officers arrive at the building
0:31:48 > 0:31:51and start cataloguing the evidence to hand over to the prosecutors
0:31:51 > 0:31:54so criminal proceedings can get underway.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58What's happening now is basically scenes of crime have been down.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Everything's been photographed,
0:32:00 > 0:32:04all the evidence side of it is all dealt with.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Now we're just getting ourselves kitted up
0:32:06 > 0:32:09so we can start seizing some of the evidence that's here,
0:32:09 > 0:32:13bagging it up, exhibiting everything and then once that's been done,
0:32:13 > 0:32:17all the surplus stuff will be basically destroyed, really.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23The neighbourhood team will now begin the mammoth task
0:32:23 > 0:32:26of removing all the paraphernalia linked to the cannabis farm.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30We've now counted and confirmed 207 plants in this room,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32all of the same size.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Three of the plants have been seized
0:32:34 > 0:32:36and exhibited, to go into the brown bag.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39All the rest will be put in the clear plastic bags,
0:32:39 > 0:32:43which will be sealed up and they'll be disposed of.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48The bust has all the hallmarks of being a monumental haul
0:32:48 > 0:32:51and it's a major coup for the neighbourhood team.
0:32:51 > 0:32:57What we found, we think around about 2,800 cannabis plants,
0:32:57 > 0:33:02which potentially could have a yield somewhere around £2 million.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05There's a lot of money being made through these sorts of set-ups
0:33:05 > 0:33:08and it's very much organised crime.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13And their good work continues over at St Andrew's primary school.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17If you keep this corner clear, we're going to put all the things in there,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20all the compost against that wall here.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22The team have selected items from the cannabis farm
0:33:22 > 0:33:25that can be put to good use in the community.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28The hardware used to grow the illegal plantations
0:33:28 > 0:33:35found a new legal purpose through being donated to a community garden project housed at the school.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36This is absolutely fantastic.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I've been watching from the school window over there,
0:33:39 > 0:33:41all the different things that have been donated.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I've seen wood going in there,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46which will be perfect to develop our raised beds.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47And lots of compost.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Compost is always an expensive thing that we need to buy
0:33:51 > 0:33:54and obviously essential to growing seeds.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55And the plant pots that I've seen, as well,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58there's lots of plant pots stacked high, which again
0:33:58 > 0:34:01we can use as enterprise projects, the children can grow plants
0:34:01 > 0:34:06and then we can sell them when we have community open days and our fairs.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09By breaking up a major criminal enterprise,
0:34:09 > 0:34:13not only have the neighbourhood team kept millions of pounds worth of drugs off the streets,
0:34:13 > 0:34:17but they've also found a way to turn a crime into a community plus point,
0:34:17 > 0:34:21something that lies at the very heart of community policing.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Well, the thing is, this wouldn't have got spotted so early
0:34:27 > 0:34:31if it hadn't have been for a PCSO on this area.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34That £2 million worth of cannabis would have been on the streets.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37And we just hit it right, just before Christmas.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I do feel proud. I enjoy my job.
0:34:40 > 0:34:46I'm just glad that it was found just before it went onto the streets.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47The men arrested during the raid
0:34:47 > 0:34:52were found guilty of farming cannabis and sentenced to 30 months in prison.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Since the raid, the neighbourhood team have launched a further
0:34:56 > 0:34:59series of similar strikes that has seen nearly £4 million worth
0:34:59 > 0:35:02of cannabis taken off the streets.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13Smashing a major drugs ring makes the headlines for the neighbourhood team,
0:35:13 > 0:35:18but it's the work they do out and about on the streets that makes the biggest difference.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Back over in Hull city centre, the neighbourhood team are keeping track
0:35:25 > 0:35:29of the dozens of rough sleepers who find themselves facing a long,
0:35:29 > 0:35:33cold night of sub-zero temperatures on the streets of the city.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Who are you, young man?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Earlier in the evening,
0:35:37 > 0:35:39PC Gareth Walker asked a homeless man to move on from the grounds
0:35:39 > 0:35:43of a church community centre after the church warden expressed concern
0:35:43 > 0:35:47he might frighten elderly people using the facilities that evening.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50She said that they don't want you here.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53The neighbourhood team have returned to see
0:35:53 > 0:35:56if the homeless man has packed up his things and gone, but on arriving
0:35:56 > 0:36:00back at the community centre, the team can see the man is still there...
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Hello.- ..and determined not to move.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- Hello?- What?- Oh, hello, is that Malcolm?- BLEEP.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Hey, what are you swearing at me for?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- We've had a complaint so you need to move.- What are you on about?
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- A complaint from who?- From the people who own this building.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- Malcolm, listen to me.- Don't even do it, mate, don't even touch me.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- I'm not going to touch you. - I ain't committed an offence.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26You asked me why we're here.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30The team once again ask the man to pack up his belongings.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34But the call for him to move falls on deaf ears.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39- You've been asked to move by the people here.- I'm not going anywhere.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42In a bid to show the man that he must really leave
0:36:42 > 0:36:46the grounds of the church, the team start gathering up his possessions.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49What you are going to do is move from here.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Let people sleep.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57But despite the police's softly, softly approach,
0:36:57 > 0:36:59the man does not take kindly to his things being touched.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01BLEEP.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05As the man becomes increasingly hostile and aggressive,
0:37:05 > 0:37:07and mindful that a stream of pensioners will soon be
0:37:07 > 0:37:11arriving to use the community centre, the neighbourhood team
0:37:11 > 0:37:13are now left with little option but to arrest him.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- You piece of- BLEEP. All right. OK, you're under arrest for public order.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence...
0:37:20 > 0:37:23I knew this would happen. That's what I wanted. Thank you.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- It's good for me. - Put your hands behind your back.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Thank you very much.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33The man is taken into custody, where he can sleep off his hangover.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39It's a sad end to a difficult situation.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41And even when upholding the law,
0:37:41 > 0:37:44the neighbourhood team always tries to find ways to show solidarity
0:37:44 > 0:37:47and support to those facing a difficult time in their lives.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56And over at the local YMCA, Sergeant Jim Main is doing just that.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59I can see it forming.
0:38:00 > 0:38:06Jim is taking part in a charity sleepout to raise money and awareness about homelessness.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Obviously tonight we're having a bit of a laugh building shelters, etc,
0:38:09 > 0:38:12but there is a serious element to the young homeless.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14We've chosen tonight to sleep out here,
0:38:14 > 0:38:17there's many people across the region that haven't got that choice
0:38:17 > 0:38:19and will still be sleeping out tomorrow night
0:38:19 > 0:38:22when we're back at our houses, nice and warm.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25And that's why we're doing it, it's to raise awareness and it's to raise the funds, as well.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- As Jim's makeshift home takes shape...- Supplies.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35..he can't wait to keep his legion of 8,000 tweeters updated as to his progress.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38It's another example of neighbourhood police teams
0:38:38 > 0:38:42embracing technology to spread the word of their work.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Online, on Twitter,
0:38:43 > 0:38:47in the last ten minutes, we've had 35 tweets from people,
0:38:47 > 0:38:50and loads of people re-tweeting, saying, are you going to sponsor me?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53So hopefully we'll get a small sponsorship, as well.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58At midnight, Jim takes to his shelter
0:38:58 > 0:39:01and beds down for some sleep.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Here we are, inside the tent. I managed to get into a sleeping bag.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09All in all, quite cosy. The cardboard is slightly damp.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Hopefully it might stay up for the rest of the night.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17But his comparatively cosy start to the night doesn't last long.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19As temperatures plummet, so do his spirits,
0:39:19 > 0:39:23giving him a real taste of what it's like to be living rough.
0:39:24 > 0:39:264:30am.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Absolutely frozen.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Minus five.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34The roof of the house has started caving in.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37I think I'm going to have to get up to get a bit of circulation going.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40And get slightly warmer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45Home comforts are now a distant memory as cold and tiredness kick in
0:39:45 > 0:39:49just as they do for every homeless person in the UK, night after night.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55At 7am, the sleepout is over,
0:39:55 > 0:40:01giving Jim a chance to reflect on his gruelling night in a cardboard house under the stars.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05I think the impact for me is that I'm packing up and I'm going home.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08And tonight I'll be sleeping in a nice warm bed.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11There's many others out there that haven't got that option,
0:40:11 > 0:40:16and it's an eye opener for me, because I wouldn't like to be living on the streets, night after night.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21The homeless man was charged with using threatening words and behaviour.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23He was convicted in court
0:40:23 > 0:40:27and after a day's detention was bound over to keep the peace.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Since the homelessness initiative began,
0:40:29 > 0:40:33one in five rough sleepers has been helped off the streets of Hull,
0:40:33 > 0:40:37making this another success story for the neighbourhood team.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48So as you can see, the neighbourhood team's role
0:40:48 > 0:40:51is as much about being seen to be part of the community
0:40:51 > 0:40:55and sharing their concerns as it is about cutting crime.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Join us next time to find out
0:40:57 > 0:41:00if they're winning the battle of hearts and minds.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Coming up next time:
0:41:05 > 0:41:09The police take action against some tearaway teens.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Smell your breath.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15- I'm asking you all to leave the city centre and not come back here tonight.- All right.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19The team raid a suspected drug dealer's den.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Who do you think you are?- BLEEP. - Hey!
0:41:24 > 0:41:28And could this family be the unwitting owner of a death row dog?
0:41:28 > 0:41:29DOG BARKS
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Come here, lad.
