999: What's Your Emergency?

Ten, 8.45pm

This episode of the English documentary series, based in the Wiltshire area, focuses on domestic burglaries: the feeling of violation experienced by victims; the rapid and sympathetic response of the local police to emergency calls. There's also attention to the bigger picture: the widening gap between rich and poor; the pressure on police resources; the fact that there hasn't been a dedicated burglary unit in the local police department for years. And then there's the disturbing statistic that, nationally, fewer than 10 per cent of burglaries are solved.
