As an ageing police woman I watched this recently and I can hand in heart say it's by far the most realistic portrayal of "the job " I've ever seen on any drama to date .
Bloody brilliant. Exactly how it is . From getting kicked in the face to trying to humanly put a sheep down without a vet on hand .

This is the job I do . I work a pit village up north. Have done for 12 years. Never seen a more accurate depiction of rural policing for a woman in late 40s .

I thought it was terrific drama but had hoped it wasn't too realistic!

Thank you for your work. I really admire the grit it must take to do that.

I could deal with the sheep...not the being kicked in the face.

Do you get a lot of self defence training or just basics?

We do what I call Kung foo ( officer safety training 😂) every 6 months . Not that it really helps much out there ....criminals rarely stand in the right position to reenact the "moves " !
