0:00:02 > 0:00:04Neighbourhood policing has come a long way
0:00:04 > 0:00:06since the days of Dixon of Dock Green.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Good evening, all.
0:00:07 > 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 front line.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Police!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22They're there to listen to the concerns of the public.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Clearly, you people care about your communities.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28..and tasked with wiping out the crimes
0:00:28 > 0:00:29that take place on your doorstep.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32You're under arrest, mate.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37All in a bid to make the streets where you live a safer place.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Coming up,
0:01:01 > 0:01:05the team investigate a mysterious crime scene.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08The riverside neighbourhood unit continue their crackdown on drugs
0:01:08 > 0:01:11during a morning raid.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14And a new strategy sees the police try to shut up shop
0:01:14 > 0:01:17on the oldest profession in the world.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18I don't work!
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Yes, you do.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Every year, the neighbourhood police teams in Humberside
0:01:27 > 0:01:30take tens of thousands of calls from worried residents.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33The police call these doorstep crimes.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35They're a blight on everyday life,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39and one they are determined to stamp out.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42All across Humberside, neighbourhood police teams are working hard
0:01:42 > 0:01:46to make themselves valuable and visible members of the community.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48As well as beat walks and patrols,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51the teams have had great success getting to grips with
0:01:51 > 0:01:55residents' worries by holding regular surgeries and meetings.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Every month, neighbourhood officer PC Dave Bullock
0:02:00 > 0:02:03is giving local people an update on what the police are doing
0:02:03 > 0:02:07about problems raised during his last meeting a month ago.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09And now, top of the agenda today is a problem usually found
0:02:09 > 0:02:13in cities, but has now spread to the suburbs.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17The majority of these calls came in terms of prostitutes
0:02:17 > 0:02:20approaching people, and that's one of the things that,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23as a station, we want to increase on our priority list
0:02:23 > 0:02:29- is prostitutes and loitering around the- BLEEP- area,
0:02:29 > 0:02:34and we've had a few calls over recent days.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39The issues raised during the meeting confirms the police's fears
0:02:39 > 0:02:42that prostitution has rocketed in the past few months.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48When I walk back home, there's a little area near the train station
0:02:48 > 0:02:53and you see ladies hanging around
0:02:53 > 0:02:55and it's obvious that they're prostitutes.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58It was a problem the neighbourhood teams at Hull
0:02:58 > 0:02:59thought they had seen the back of,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02but the credit crunch has seen a whole new generation of young women
0:03:02 > 0:03:05fall into this dangerous trade.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09To tackle the problem, they're going back to the drawing board,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11starting by making a record of all the hot spots
0:03:11 > 0:03:13visited by working girls.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17First up is a visit to an area that the police have received
0:03:17 > 0:03:20an increasing number of complaints from the public about.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27The main drag of Hessle Road to one of the spots
0:03:27 > 0:03:30which is favoured by the working girls.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32They'll stand there, they'll get picked up
0:03:32 > 0:03:35and then they'll come round here into this lay-by here.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38But it's nice and tucked in and you just can't see it.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41There's no CCTV cameras to cover it.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44They can be in there, do the business and they can be back
0:03:44 > 0:03:48out on the street looking for another client in 10 minutes.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51The residents of a nearby sheltered housing estate
0:03:51 > 0:03:53are particularly worried about the problem.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I'm the Housing Manager at Hull Churches Housing,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59which St Barnabas Court scheme is behind me,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02which is predominantly elderly residents.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05We've had a problem with prostitution as the prostitutes
0:04:05 > 0:04:08have moved further out of the town centre.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13The actual impact on them is that they are very concerned and have
0:04:13 > 0:04:16become very, very security conscious.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21As night falls, the mapping of the hot spots continues
0:04:21 > 0:04:23with the team heading over to an area near a health club,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26where people have complained girls have been hanging around.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31We've been tasked with coming down and sort of, like,
0:04:31 > 0:04:35speaking to the girls, making sure they're OK, if anything,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and trying to persuade them as best we can
0:04:37 > 0:04:40to stay away from the open businesses.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42The girls we speak to,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I suppose could be looked upon as being victims themselves
0:04:46 > 0:04:50as it's, sort of, widely acknowledged that a lot of the girls
0:04:50 > 0:04:51down here will be down here
0:04:51 > 0:04:55either through poverty or through drug addiction.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59They're funding a habit and this is how they make their money.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02It's not long before Olly spots someone he'd like to talk to.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05This young lady will be...
0:05:08 > 0:05:11..someone looking for business.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Say hello, if you want?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Shall we wait for- BLEEP?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Ask her what she's doing and is she all right and that.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- Have you met PC Doyle?- No.- No?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I mean, I know you don't want us around, necessarily, right,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32but don't be afraid to speak to us if you have a problem and make
0:05:32 > 0:05:36sure everyone else knows it, because we're all here to help.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39The patrol moves on to check out another area.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42It's this street and all around the back
0:05:42 > 0:05:46where we've been having young ladies hang around.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50And it's not long before they spot a familiar face
0:05:50 > 0:05:52who has been warned away previously.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Hiya, love.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56We told you last night don't come down this end.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57I've only just come out.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I know, but you were stood there, so I was going to start moving,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01but we told you last night.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Yeah, I was just looking who was down there.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05And then, yet another woman they recognise comes along.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Any chance that you could just stop away from that end for us, please?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Goodo, you keeping away from the gym for us?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Brilliant, thank you.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I don't know how much they listen to us though, to be honest.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19We've asked a bunch of them to move off in the past,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22and you sort of go round the block and they'll return.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And then Olly is confronted by the stark reality of how desperate
0:06:24 > 0:06:26some of the working girls are.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Are you pregnant?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30What are you doing out here pregnant?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33You want to get home in the warm and chill out for a bit
0:06:33 > 0:06:35if you're pregnant. Come on.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Unbelievable, unbelievable.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Most of the girls appreciate the softly-softly approach
0:06:42 > 0:06:44and take their advice to move on,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46but the team also need to think about
0:06:46 > 0:06:48those involved behind the scenes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:55There has been intel about a chap who pulls up in a car
0:06:55 > 0:06:57and I don't know if he's dropping people off,
0:06:57 > 0:07:01or if they're working for him, or if he protects them.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05With this in mind, Olly's suspicions are raised by a car
0:07:05 > 0:07:07with a man at the wheel parked up in a dark spot.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Hiya, everything all right?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Yes, fine thanks.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14All right, it's just that it's an odd area to sit around in,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- that's all.- Yeah.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19The man moves on, but the police have a long night ahead of them
0:07:19 > 0:07:23mapping the troublesome call-girl hot spots, but find out later
0:07:23 > 0:07:26what happens when they put their new powers and plan into action.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37The teams are on call 24/7, 365 days of the year,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39but they never know what their next call is going to be about.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Only that they need to respond to it fast
0:07:42 > 0:07:44and find a solution to the problem.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Over at Priory Park Station in Hull,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Sergeant Mick has mustered the team to make a hit
0:07:52 > 0:07:54against a suspected dealer.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- This morning, we're going to execute a warrant at- BLEEP- Street
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- which is the home address of- BLEEP. - I think that's how you pronounce it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04The team are acting on a tip-off from local residents
0:08:04 > 0:08:06who spotted visitors to the flat coming and going
0:08:06 > 0:08:08at all hours of the night.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- The intelligence is that he's a single occupant of- BLEEP
0:08:13 > 0:08:15which is a top floor flat,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18for which we have a key, fortunately.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22But even with the key, getting into the flat might not be that easy.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26What we'll ask is, Martina, if you can, if you can try and get us in.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30The issue is around these keys apparently they are fairly new,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33not particularly well-cut it would seem,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36and might not open the door at the first asking.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Once they're kitted up, it's time to move off.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Stop here.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's important that the team move quickly.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Their biggest advantage in these situations is the element of surprise.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02If the suspect knows that they're coming,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05there's a chance they might hide any drugs that they might have
0:09:05 > 0:09:07or even flush them down the toilet.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Police!
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Police, stay where you are!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Stay where you are! Police!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Stay where you are!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18And it appears they may have disturbed the suspect's sleep.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- What's your name?- BLEEP.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26We're just executing a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act, OK?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27- Do you understand that?- Yeah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29OK.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32With one set of officers searching the house,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34another team turns their attentions to the man.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Do you understand English?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Yeah, my colleague is going to search you, OK?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Just stand up.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46He's clean, but it's not long before the other team finds
0:09:46 > 0:09:49what they've been looking for in the bedroom.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52A carrier bag full of cannabis.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56About £60 worth there, I would think.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59And there's more in the living room,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02and this time it's bagged up, ready for sale.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06About 20 deals of cannabis, herbal cannabis, and about enough
0:10:06 > 0:10:08to do another 15, 20 bags.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13It's the evidence they need, and the team does the honours.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16You're under arrest for possession with intent to supply, OK?
0:10:16 > 0:10:17- Do you understand that?- Yeah.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19You do not have to say anything,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned
0:10:21 > 0:10:23something which you later rely on.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?- Yeah.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- You understand you're under arrest?.- Yeah.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29OK. Come on, then.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Back inside, the team continue looking for any other
0:10:34 > 0:10:38useful intelligence that may be in the flat.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40What've you got there?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43There's just dates, some dates, and monies paid.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46And they're in luck.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Dealers often keep lists of contact details for customers
0:10:50 > 0:10:53and suppliers which can prove vital to the police.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56No more drugs are found, and with all the evidence bagged up,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58it's time to head back to the station.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02The man was charged with possession with intent to supply a class B drug.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Following a subsequent arrest for the same offence,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07he is currently on bail awaiting trial.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Queens Garden Station is the neighbourhood team's main base
0:11:16 > 0:11:20for Hull city centre, and city living brings with it the threat
0:11:20 > 0:11:22of every major type of crime and incident.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Heading up the morning shift are Lorraine Summerfield
0:11:27 > 0:11:28and Robert Hague.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30They've just taken a call into the office
0:11:30 > 0:11:34from a worried-sounding landlord, concerned about one of his tenants.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37A landlord's called in to say that he's been down
0:11:37 > 0:11:39to one of his properties today that's been vacated.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42There was a female living at the property previously.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43She's moved out,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- leaving a note saying that she's gone to live up in- BLEEP.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49He's obviously quite concerned, because nobody seems to know
0:11:49 > 0:11:52where this female's actually gone, so we're just going to go down
0:11:52 > 0:11:55and do some checks at the property to see if we can locate this female.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57We'll go down and see what's happened.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05A missing person rings alarm bells for the neighbourhood team
0:12:05 > 0:12:09and they know that they may have to make many different lines of enquiry
0:12:09 > 0:12:11to find out what has happened to them.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15The police arrive at the house
0:12:15 > 0:12:17and are greeted by the concerned landlord.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Right, just before Christmas somebody was interested in the flat,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22it was up for rent.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Yeah.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26It was a young girl came, we said, "Yeah, by all means."
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Yeah.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31We agreed to let her come in just before Christmas with regards
0:12:31 > 0:12:35to just on a casual basis until Christmas,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37until the new year and then we'll sign the contract.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39We basically haven't heard from her since,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- so we've come round to check it out. - Right.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44The tenant appears to have left in a hurry,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46and her belongings are everywhere.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49But we've found all sorts of things as though she should've come back,
0:12:49 > 0:12:53because there's her engagement ring by the look of it,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57there's all bank details, there's all perfumes, aftershave.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Her book by the side of the bed.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I rang up this place where she said she was working
0:13:02 > 0:13:05and they said she never started working there,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08and they said, "I can't give you any more details."
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Right. Would you say that it looked as if somebody was still living here
0:13:12 > 0:13:14but they've just not come back to it?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Just as if they've gone out to work. - Yes, yeah.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18So how long ago would you say it is, then,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20that you last had any contact with her at all?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- First weekend after Christmas, wasn't it?- First weekend after Christmas.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26That was more than three weeks ago.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I did notice that after I cleared the cupboard out
0:13:31 > 0:13:33and pushed the bed back.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38In the bedroom, there are blood stains on the sheets
0:13:38 > 0:13:39and all over the floor.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41There are some down here, Rob, as well.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Robert examines the possible blood markings more closely.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47It looks as if somebody's been hit, or something like that,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49and they've bled a little bit on the floor there
0:13:49 > 0:13:51and then somebody's made an attempt to wipe it away.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55It's coming all the way out here, isn't it?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Lorraine picks up the trail.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Rob, there's some sort of a hand print in blood here
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- up the bathroom wall, as well. - Is there?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05With the discovery of so much blood, Lorraine needs to make sure
0:14:05 > 0:14:07any potential evidence is preserved.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Right, I think maybe what we need to do
0:14:09 > 0:14:12is get everybody into the living room and I think I'm going to
0:14:12 > 0:14:15have to get some supervision out to this.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20Lorraine now fears there may be more than just a runaway tenant at hand
0:14:20 > 0:14:21and puts a call in to her boss.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Might be an idea if you can come out to this job on- BLEEP- for us.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Just got a few concerns, really.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30If you can come down so we can have a chat with you.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32The house is now a potential crime scene.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Find out later if there are enough clues lying around
0:14:35 > 0:14:39for the police to work out what has happened to the missing woman.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Community policing was brought into play in order to develop
0:14:47 > 0:14:50better relationships between local people and the police.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52It's taken time to get the public on side,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55but as confidence in the scheme has grown, so have the results,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58with the public and the police forming an effective
0:14:58 > 0:15:00crime-fighting partnership.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I think people's attitudes towards the police
0:15:02 > 0:15:04have changed significantly.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I mean, when I first started in the job ten years ago,
0:15:06 > 0:15:10there were certain areas that, like's been discussed before,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13you used to go out in two patrol cars,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15because one of the patrol cars'd get damaged
0:15:15 > 0:15:17while you was in somebody's house.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Whereas I think,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22especially with introducing the neighbourhood policing
0:15:22 > 0:15:25and putting it out there so much to communities by doing forums
0:15:25 > 0:15:27and meetings and surgeries,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29the police are seen now more as approachable,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32and that's with a significant help from the PCSOs
0:15:32 > 0:15:34that we work with on shift.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36They're out there every day, the eyes and ears of the police
0:15:36 > 0:15:39and you tend that members of the public will come up and volunteer
0:15:39 > 0:15:44information to them, because it's not seen as "them and us" anymore.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47People do report more things to us now than what they did five,
0:15:47 > 0:15:48six, seven years ago.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Whilst Steve and Gareth carry out regular beat walks
0:15:59 > 0:16:03across their patch, they also find themselves performing wider patrols
0:16:03 > 0:16:07across the city, always on the look-out for potential trouble.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11We're going to stop-search these two, right here on our left hand side.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13They've spotted two men at the side of the road
0:16:13 > 0:16:15who they suspect may be swapping drugs.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17We're going to stop-search you, all right?
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Yeah, stop-search.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20How's things? All right?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Yeah.- Yeah. - What you doing here?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27You're waiting for your girlfriend, what are you doing, chief?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31OK, whose is that bag?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Is that bag yours?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Who was swapping what between it when you was both crouched down?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42No, no, we were just having a look at it.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43You were just having a look at it?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- We were just having a look at it, yeah.- Oh, right.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Gareth isn't buying it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I take it you've got receipts for all this Ariel, then?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Yeah, it's your bag.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57No?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59You not got any receipts for it?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01It's your bag.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03He's telling me it's your bag...
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Oh, right.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Listen, talk to me, what's your date of birth?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- BLEEP.- Don't talk to me, you don't have to talk to me like that.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Well, don't talk to me like that, mate.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Don't shout, don't shout.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Don't talk to me like that then, mate.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23You're shouting, I'll shout at you, mate, and it is your bag, mate.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Don't start making out it's not, that it's mine.- It is your bag.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Whose bag is that? Has that bag got owt to do with me now?
0:17:28 > 0:17:29No, no, it's not.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Thank you very- BLEEP- much.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Right, so are you wanted at the minute for something?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36No, I'm not wanted no, I don't get wanted.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39The man giving Steve some backchat has nothing on him
0:17:39 > 0:17:41and he's left to go on his way.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44But things aren't as straightforward for his friend.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46So you've got nothing sharp on you?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Nothing that's going to hurt me or you? OK?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And it seems they were right to be suspicious.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Oh, look, a joint of weed, yeah.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59You've got a joint of weed.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04In his pocket they find some cannabis,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06but that's not all he's been hiding.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09What's in there?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Some tablets.- Some tablets?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Bear with me while I finish the search.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18There's some tablets in there, he's told me.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Right, what have we got there? A bit of green?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Yeah, a bit of green.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25What tablets are in here kid?
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Just some valium.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Some vallies?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31They've found the drugs, but now there is just the small matter
0:18:31 > 0:18:33of what is in the suspicious bag.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Come and take a seat in here for me, mate.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I mean, that is just full of,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44it's got all the security stuff in it, see.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47That'll come under suspicion as theft and possession,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and then we'll make some enquiries in relation to that,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53though we'll not really be able to do anything.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Gareth goes to break the bad news.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55At the moment,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58you're under arrest for possession of a controlled substance,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00all right, and on suspicion of theft.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01You don't have to say anything
0:19:01 > 0:19:03but it may harm your defence if you don't mention
0:19:03 > 0:19:04something you later rely on.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07The neighbourhood team are dedicated to cleaning up
0:19:07 > 0:19:10the streets of the city and keeping them free from drugs and crime.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Tonight is another example of how their wealth of local knowledge
0:19:14 > 0:19:17and crime-fighting instinct can achieve this.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Back at the station, the man is booked in.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27In the bag there has been found several Ariel washing up detergents
0:19:27 > 0:19:29with security tags attached.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Upon searching the male himself, he's got a green leafy substance
0:19:33 > 0:19:37in a small clear bag and some tablets which he stated are valium.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Have you got anything else on you? - No.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43No? Have you got any sharps on you?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Well, these officers are going to give you a more thorough search,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48out of the charge room and in one of the cells, OK?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50To check that there are no more drugs on him,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52he's taken for a strip search.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Just kick us your shoes off first.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57But nothing more is found.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02He's said that he's had some drugs today.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05He's topped up with heroin as well this afternoon, a £10 bag,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and he's said that he's stoned,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10so that's really why he's in the state that he is.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Now Steve and Gareth can get to grips
0:20:12 > 0:20:14with the suspected stolen goods.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16You've heard of the Great Train Robbery,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19this is the great soap powder robbery!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Retail crime costs the UK high street
0:20:23 > 0:20:25an estimated £137 million a year,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28and it's products like washing liquid
0:20:28 > 0:20:31which are popular with opportunistic shoplifters.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39As well as washing products, it's chocolate, coffee and bacon
0:20:39 > 0:20:43and them sort of products which are easy to get rid of, cheeses.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44They're easy to get rid of,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46people are willing to take them as a bargain.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48As I say, the danger is, and they should know,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51if they're paying tiny prices for it, it's likely to be stolen,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54and they will be prosecuted if they're caught handling it.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56It's taken a bit of time,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59but all the evidence has now been bagged and tagged.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04The man was convicted of possessing controlled class B and C drugs.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09He was given a 12 month conditional discharge and fined £85 costs.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14No charges were brought against him
0:21:14 > 0:21:17in relation to the suspected stolen items.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Back over in Hull city centre, Lorraine and the team
0:21:29 > 0:21:31find themselves at the heart of a mystery.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Following the disappearance of a tenant,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36a landlord contacted the neighbourhood team.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39A trail of blood weaves its way through the flat,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42which is littered with the woman's abandoned possessions.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48As Lorraine waits for her governor to arrive...
0:21:52 > 0:21:54..she looks around the flat for more clues.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58In the kitchen, a recent calendar stuck to the cupboard door
0:21:58 > 0:21:59offers some vital leads.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I've got a bad feeling about this one.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03There's nothing after January.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Right, what's going to happen is our supervision's going to come down.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12We can't be too careful.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15The team now have a potential crime scene on their hands,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17and with so many people in the flat,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19there is a real risk of damaging vital evidence.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23So PC Summerfield asks the landlords to wait in the van
0:22:23 > 0:22:25while she conducts a thorough search of the property.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28So that's what we're just doing at the moment, just trying to establish
0:22:28 > 0:22:32some contact details for any family members
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and see if we can just try and trace where she is,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36by going through all this property.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42But as they continue the search,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44it becomes clear that there may be children involved.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47PC Summerfield contacts Social Services
0:22:47 > 0:22:49to try and gather some more information.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Yeah, I just wondered if it would be possible
0:22:51 > 0:22:55for somebody to get hold of one of the members of staff
0:22:55 > 0:22:58at the Child Protection team on double two, double two,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02just to see if they can run any checks on this female
0:23:02 > 0:23:06and her child to see if they've had any contact with them recently.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07But at the moment, there aren't any signs
0:23:07 > 0:23:10that the child has been living at this address.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15But it's just we're trying to find out where that child is,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- because, obviously, if the child is with- BLEEP,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21then there's a concern for the child as well.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24With the flat now a secure crime scene,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27it's not long before the governor arrives.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Come in, and I'll tell you what we've got.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Lorraine's colleague gets him up to speed.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35The last bill in there is the 18th of the 1st,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37in that bag, it's all bagged up.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42There's a small splatter of blood.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44While she shares her concerns over the way
0:23:44 > 0:23:46the property was left by the tenant.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49There is a child involved in this somewhere.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50We don't know where this child is.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53We don't even know, we don't think the child was actually living here,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57but there has been some children's clothing.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00She's done a flit and when they've come in today,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02this flat was as if somebody was still living here.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Rob heads off to start working his way through the address book.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- There's a mobile number- BLEEP- and one for- BLEEP.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I think start phoning people who she knows.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17And at the same time, Alison makes door-to-door enquiries.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22It's often information from local residents that helps the local
0:24:22 > 0:24:25neighbourhood team unlock tricky investigations like this.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Even if it's just seeing her coming in with some shopping or whatever,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33a general sort of, just anything that we can just hopefully
0:24:33 > 0:24:34put this young lady in some safety, really,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36we just need to rule anything out.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38After knocking on dozens of doors,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Alison finally gets some useful information.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I've been speaking to the couple upstairs.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Not heard anything for two to three weeks.- Right.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Can't be a 100% sure, but two to three weeks, roughly.- Right.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53His flat is literally, his bedroom's directly above their bedroom.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55All right, OK.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Never seen anybody who actually lives here.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Yeah.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02But has heard them regularly, every night, arguing.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Right, OK.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Male and female voices arguing about money.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Constant, all the time, 2 o'clock in the morning,
0:25:07 > 0:25:115 o'clock in the morning and that was roughly two to three weeks
0:25:11 > 0:25:13since the last time they heard all that
0:25:13 > 0:25:14and after that it's just been quiet.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17But they've never actually seen her or him.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- Okey dokey. Thanks for that, Alison. - No problem.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22We're just trying to find any telephone numbers
0:25:22 > 0:25:23for any family at the minute.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44The search for clues continues,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48and it's not long before they turn up more worrying evidence.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52The unpleasant discovery is followed by a more positive piece of news,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56a document with some potential contact details listed on it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57It's just what they needed,
0:25:57 > 0:26:01and from it they find a telephone number for the woman's mother.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Mum has been in contact with- BLEEP- quite recently.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14- It looks like she's actually moved to- BLEEP- over Christmas time,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17so she's come in here for some reason just before Christmas,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19two weeks prior to Christmas she took this flat on.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- She's then gone to- BLEEP.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It looks like she actually does want to come back to Hull.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Mum's got some contact details for her mobile telephone number
0:26:27 > 0:26:29which they've actually spoken to her on.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Craig is now just going to try and give her a call,
0:26:31 > 0:26:35see if we can speak to her, but mum says that she does self-harm,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37which would explain the blood.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Which, although that's not nice, it's a good outcome really.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46It's a sad situation, but the team are also relieved to learn
0:26:46 > 0:26:48that the woman's children are safe and well
0:26:48 > 0:26:51in the custody of her mother.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It's another mystery cleared up by the neighbourhood team
0:26:59 > 0:27:01in their bid to respond to the concerns of residents.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12One of the roles of a neighbourhood police officer is to keep an eye out
0:27:12 > 0:27:14for the most vulnerable members of the community.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17In order to do this, they carry out regular check-ups
0:27:17 > 0:27:21and reassurance visits on those who benefit greatly
0:27:21 > 0:27:23from a little extra care and attention.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26The neighbourhood team invest a lot of their time
0:27:26 > 0:27:30in making sure the most vulnerable members of the community
0:27:30 > 0:27:35get the care and support they need to feel safe where they live.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And this includes making sure people who are being bullied
0:27:38 > 0:27:39don't feel they have nowhere to turn.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Bullying, I mean, it can take many forms
0:27:42 > 0:27:44and there's many definitions of bullying.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48It can be something from name-calling which gets out of hand,
0:27:48 > 0:27:54it can then escalate to physical or it can be cyber-bullying.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56We deal with all different kinds of bullying
0:27:56 > 0:28:01and each case presents its own unique instance of bullying.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05More than 70% of people living in the UK
0:28:05 > 0:28:08say they've been bullied at some stage.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10It's a problem that can affect people of all ages,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13at home, school or work.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Very often, if someone's being bullied for quite a while,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20they present with low self esteem, little self-worth
0:28:20 > 0:28:23and we have to help build that up again,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26give them confidence, help them to develop their confidence.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33We work together collaboratively.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36That's more about promoting the services,
0:28:36 > 0:28:40making sure that people are aware, along with other agencies,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42so community events as well.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44We become involved to make sure people can see
0:28:44 > 0:28:46that it isn't just about coming to us
0:28:46 > 0:28:49or coming to someone else. That we all want to work together.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Partnership working is very important.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Tonight, Olly is on his way to check up on an elderly man
0:28:58 > 0:29:01the team have been looking out for, as reports have come in
0:29:01 > 0:29:05that he's being mistreated again by so-called friends.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06We're hoping that he'll be in,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09we haven't seen him for the last few days.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13He's a vulnerable adult. Unfortunately, he's alcoholic,
0:29:13 > 0:29:18alcohol-dependant, and he's been having people take advantage of him.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Staying in his place, they've kicked him out in the past of his bedroom,
0:29:22 > 0:29:24so he had to sleep in the living room.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27We're hoping that isn't the case now, although the intel we've been
0:29:27 > 0:29:33receiving states that the previous offenders are back at his address,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35although we haven't caught them there yet,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38so we're hoping to do as many checks as we can,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41and if we find the gentlemen in the address,
0:29:41 > 0:29:42they will be getting arrested.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49The team split into two, covering the front and back
0:29:49 > 0:29:52of the man's house to ensure the bully doesn't try and escape,
0:29:52 > 0:29:53should he be in.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58KNOCK AT DOOR
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Hello. How you doing, mate?
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Someone Olly doesn't recognise opens the door,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07but he invites him inside where he finds the vulnerable man
0:30:07 > 0:30:10watching TV quite happily in the living room.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- Hiya,- BLEEP.- Where've you been?
0:30:14 > 0:30:15All right, Olly!
0:30:15 > 0:30:18The other man appears to be a genuine friend,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20and looks to put Olly's mind at rest
0:30:20 > 0:30:23when asked have any of the bullies been around.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Has anybody been round here? Has anybody been round here?
0:30:25 > 0:30:27No, no.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30The vulnerable man has a serious alcohol problem,
0:30:30 > 0:30:34but Olly does his best to have a friendly chat with him.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36You what? Has he been in?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Seeing that the man is OK and happy watching TV,
0:30:38 > 0:30:42the police do a quick sweep of the property to ensure the bully isn't
0:30:42 > 0:30:45hiding somewhere, and puts up with some high-spirited horse-play
0:30:45 > 0:30:47from the man's friend.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- I'll come and get you in a bear hug! - All right, get off me- BLEEP!
0:30:51 > 0:30:52I'll have to go shower now.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Olly acts in good spirits,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00and, satisfied that the vulnerable man is no longer in danger,
0:31:00 > 0:31:01the police say their goodbyes.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- Has- BLEEP- been round yours?
0:31:04 > 0:31:05- No, no.- No?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08But not before the man has a playful knock at his friend.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12Every time you turn up, the police turn up.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14That's OK, isn't it?
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Come on, no arguing now, no arguing.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- He's all right.- I know.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21As Olly leaves the house and makes his way back to the car,
0:31:21 > 0:31:25he reflects on how the police can help best support people
0:31:25 > 0:31:26in this situation.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I think we sympathise with him.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32I'm not aware of any family that he's got and although he's got,
0:31:32 > 0:31:33I wouldn't say friends,
0:31:33 > 0:31:35acquaintances that come and visit him every day,
0:31:37 > 0:31:39he's definitely had advantage taken of him in the past,
0:31:39 > 0:31:41and we just don't want a repeat of it.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44But it used to be the same with the gentleman
0:31:44 > 0:31:45that used to live in this flat.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Some days we'd arrive and he'd be our best friend,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50then you could arrive the day after
0:31:50 > 0:31:52and he might have had a bit more to drink than normal.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55But they're really nice guys, to be honest.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58For the next few weeks, the team will continue to stop by
0:31:58 > 0:32:02every night to ensure the man remains safe in his own home.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Further visits to the property have ensured
0:32:04 > 0:32:07that the bully has stayed away, and the vulnerable man
0:32:07 > 0:32:11has enjoyed some peace and security where he lives.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23A recent beat meeting saw residents complain to neighbourhood teams
0:32:23 > 0:32:25about the rise in prostitution where they live.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29So after locating all the call-girl hot spots in the area,
0:32:29 > 0:32:30the police are devising a plan
0:32:30 > 0:32:32to keep working girls off the streets.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36The team have some new policing powers at hand
0:32:36 > 0:32:40and have produced a map that highlights a zero-tolerance zone
0:32:40 > 0:32:42around areas identified as being a problem.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Let's go and get in the van and let's get it done.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49No-nonsense copper Steve Lamb is leading the initiative
0:32:49 > 0:32:52and looking to give the street girls their marching orders.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55As they head to their first area on the map,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Steve describes how the new Section 27 police powers
0:32:58 > 0:32:59can help deal with the problem.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03It gives a police officer the power to give a direction to an individual
0:33:03 > 0:33:08to leave an area for a specific period of time, i.e. up to 48 hours,
0:33:08 > 0:33:11and we'll use the full 48 hours if we issue any.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14So it's a good little piece of legislation,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17we'll use it where we can, and we'll see how it pans out.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20They reach the first area outlined on the map,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24and Alan immediately gets a chance to put the new powers into play.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- Come off the road. What are you up to tonight down here,- BEEP?
0:33:26 > 0:33:27I'm waiting for my mate.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29What are you waiting for your mate for?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31You watch. She'll be out here any second.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32You can't do that!
0:33:32 > 0:33:35It may sound like a valid excuse, but Alan isn't buying it,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38and he issues her one of the new telling-off tickets.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42You are now banned from a period of 48 hours from tonight from coming
0:33:42 > 0:33:43into an area bordered by Anlaby Road,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46the A63 up to the Boulevard and down Ferensway.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48So you're telling me I can't go and see my mate?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50So you're telling me I can't go see my mate?
0:33:50 > 0:33:51For 48 hours.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53You're telling me I can't go see my mate?
0:33:53 > 0:33:54I'm telling you, I'm not asking you.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57No, I know, I'm saying you're telling me I can't go and see my mate?
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Yes, if you want to see that with a solicitor, that's all right. - I will do.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03If you return within 48 hours or refuse to go, you will be arrested.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05You can do what you want, though, you can do what you want.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07With the woman sent on her way,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09the team head to their next destination on the map.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12We don't give the notices out lightly.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16We do make sure we've got grounds for giving the notices out.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Basically if it was a member of the public, a female,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21walking down there doing her shopping
0:34:21 > 0:34:25or clearly waiting for friends, she wouldn't be given that notice.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28We do carry out checks and we do use previous knowledge
0:34:28 > 0:34:31and our knowledge of prostitutes before we give them notices out.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35The police seem to encounter a woman working the streets at every corner
0:34:35 > 0:34:38that they turn and they all have elaborate excuses,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40but get a ticket nonetheless.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Hello there, chuck. - All right?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Hiya, what are you doing over here? Seen you a couple of times.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- I'm waiting for a lift.- Who from?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- My friend.- Your friend? - Yeah.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51It's a thankless task, and many of the girls
0:34:51 > 0:34:53aren't willing to take their advice.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Get out my face!
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Why was you meeting your friend right at the back?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Why don't you meet him on Hessle Road?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I didn't meet my friend right at the back of the Hessle Road.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Well, where were you when you got stopped?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08He picked me up because he was going to take me home.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10I know him from the carpet shop, I bought carpets off him.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11So why didn't he take you home?
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Because I was talking to him for two seconds and then coppers pull me
0:35:15 > 0:35:17and they assumed I was a prostitute.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21But issuing the orders is not just about moving the girls on.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Providing better reassurance to these communities who
0:35:24 > 0:35:28are constantly calling us and saying they're fed up with prostitutes
0:35:28 > 0:35:33congregating outside their front doors, so that's the ultimate aim,
0:35:33 > 0:35:35but it is to engage with working girls
0:35:35 > 0:35:36if they want to engage with us.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42Gather any intelligence that we can, but there was an opportunity
0:35:42 > 0:35:46to use the legislation to remove them and we will do.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- OK, get yourself home. - What's your number?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Which way are you going? Which way are you going?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- What's your number? - 934.- 619.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56934, you got that Rob? Get a pen.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59The team must do their best to use a bit of gentle humour
0:35:59 > 0:36:01to diffuse a fraught situation.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03But it doesn't mean that they will show any let up
0:36:03 > 0:36:06in making anyone aware of the new initiative.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Working girls are going to get stopped
0:36:08 > 0:36:09- every night this week,- BLEEP.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10I'm not at work!
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Pestering you every night. - I don't work!
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Yes, you do.- No, I don't! Don't tell me, I don't work!- OK.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- Right.- Take care, then.- Take care.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24There are an estimated 80,000 prostitutes working across the UK
0:36:24 > 0:36:28and many of these women are battling serious drug and alcohol addictions.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31In many cases, they work to fund their expensive habits.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Steve spots a girl he thinks he recognises and approaches her.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40What are you doing out here at this time of night?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43I've just told you I'm off to go get some chips. Is that all right, like?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Well, it might be. What chip shop are you going to?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Well, the one that's right there that's open.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49All right, listen.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52First things first, drop the attitude and then me
0:36:52 > 0:36:53and you will get on all right, OK?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56You want to give me some attitude, we'll be here as long as you like.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58If I check you now,
0:36:58 > 0:37:02are you going to have any previous for being a street girl?
0:37:02 > 0:37:07- No.- None at all?- No.- Definitely not? - No.- OK, let's do a quick check then.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10She's a female, white, local.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13But it turns out the girl isn't being entirely truthful.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16I asked you if you've got any links to being a sex trade worker,
0:37:16 > 0:37:17you said no.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Funnily enough, you're recorded in our systems as being just that.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24I've been stopped and questioned but...
0:37:24 > 0:37:25You've been stopped and questioned,
0:37:25 > 0:37:27so you've never been a commercial sex worker?
0:37:27 > 0:37:31No, I've been stopped and questioned like you just did now.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32If I was a betting man,
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I would say that's exactly what you're doing out here tonight.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Now we can agree to disagree all you like,
0:37:37 > 0:37:42but let's just be a little bit honest with each other.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45That's what you're doing out here tonight, isn't it?
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Please.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Don't insult my intelligence, please.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56That's exactly what you are doing tonight, isn't it?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Thank you.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Got there in the end. Right, so what you doing now, then?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- You going to go home now? - Get my chips.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Get your chips and then you're going to go home, yeah?
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Because you're not staying out here anymore tonight. OK?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10For some of these women the streets are the last place they want to be,
0:38:10 > 0:38:14but expensive drug and alcohol addictions can leave them feeling
0:38:14 > 0:38:15like they have no other option.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18What are you getting upset for? What are you upset about?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Are you using drugs? Yeah?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25What are you using?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Heroin.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28A bit of brown?
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Brown is a street slang for heroin.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Any white? No? OK.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36How much brown are you using?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40I don't know, two a day, I'm trying to get on a course.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Steve decides to offer this girl some help and advice.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49Have you heard of an agency called The Women's Project
0:38:49 > 0:38:50on George Street?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- Would you be interested in engaging with anybody like that?- Yeah.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58There is help available for those who want it,
0:38:58 > 0:39:01but taking the first step can be the hardest.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Well, what I'll do, I promise I'll put your details,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06I'll make a referral for you to the Women's Project
0:39:06 > 0:39:08and get somebody to contact you. All right?
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Yeah.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Escaping a life of prostitution and drug abuse
0:39:12 > 0:39:15can be the difference between life and death.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17One ex-street worker knows all too well
0:39:17 > 0:39:20the perils those girls out on the street face every day.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23I was a heroin addict, I used to spend £300 a day and now obviously,
0:39:23 > 0:39:27you don't even need to spend £3 a day once you're not using.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Get clean, it's worth it.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35And that's all I can say. It's so worth getting clean, you have so much of a better life.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42And the results of the new approach to tackling the problem
0:39:42 > 0:39:45are already quickly becoming apparent to the neighbourhood team.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I personally think it's been a real success,
0:39:49 > 0:39:54because of all the girls that we've issued Section 27s to this week,
0:39:55 > 0:39:59neither of them have appeared in the areas that we've banned them
0:39:59 > 0:40:03from for the 48 hours, so that's got to be a success.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05I think the fact that they haven't come back,
0:40:05 > 0:40:10that's been born out today that Al visited one of the girls
0:40:10 > 0:40:16in a local hostel for another reason and it was evident that
0:40:16 > 0:40:20she was in her room at a time where, every day, normally,
0:40:20 > 0:40:24she would be out working the streets and she said that
0:40:24 > 0:40:29she's realised that the notice meant that if she contravened it,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32she was going to get arrested, so that's definitely worked.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Since the initiative started,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39the number of street workers has dropped by almost a third.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Neighbourhood policing brings the teams in close contact
0:40:49 > 0:40:53with every imaginable type of crime and social problem.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56They're there to make the public feel safer and secure
0:40:56 > 0:41:00in the knowledge that their concerns will be taken seriously.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Join us next time to find out
0:41:02 > 0:41:04if they can continue to make crime rates fall.
0:41:06 > 0:41:12Coming up next time - the police try to track down a wanted man.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- I haven't seen him for days, me. - Have you not?
0:41:15 > 0:41:18The team try to bring calm to the streets...
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Sort her out, her attitude stinks!
0:41:20 > 0:41:21..on a raucous Friday night in Hull.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25And a cat burglar gets caught in the act.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29They've looked at the CCTV, it shows one male.
