@0:20 - As you can see, no expense has been spared by the filmmakers in this lavishly recreated aftermath of a burglary. The trick is to start with an empty sitting room & ship in 2 crappy old veneer-covered units, before strategically placing a bin on its side. Back in those days, was quite a feat to remove a tv set with valves in it - probably required at least 2 burglars........
Love the part were the kid asks "does everyone get to drive a fast car?" then it cuts to a AUSTIN MAESTRO panda car driving out onto a main road! Seriously though, this is what the Police force should be about, enforcing law, meeting the public, educating. It's strange to see kids so respectful towards the Police. So sad, time has moved on, and things should have improved, but thanks to bureaucracy and red tape, society has slipped back to almost neanderthal behaviour. I feel sorry for the Police, budgets slashed, officers sacked, and thanks to political idiocy, human rights and a "criminal as victim" culture, their powers have been diminished to almost nothing.
Oh believe me, people haven't respected the police since their damn inception. People will always hate those who bring order if they want chaos, particularly on council estates
All them shops have long gone from our daily lives. Life was less complicated and had values and right social balance unlike today’s jungle warfare in every borough.
Unfortunately property crime including burglary, retail theft and the like are rarely even investigated today. The UK has one of the lowest clearance rates for larceny crime of any developed country. Most of the time there is no point in even calling the coppers unless you need a police report to file an insurance claim.
Rarely would be an improvement! Where do you live? We'll come there!! I'm fed up with seeing middle aged middle class women waltzing out of the supermarket with a basket full of expensive booze whilst the teenage staff stand back and let them because they've been told to not risk an altercation trying to stop them because the police (who would be coming about 30miles from another town) won't turn out for shoplifting! We all pay for that. And small shopkeepers are struggling to stay in business.
They are out straight away these days, but only to nick people in possession of 'opinions' contrary to what the narrative sanctions and deems appropriate. Real crimes, like fiddy kiddling, are way down the list - the whole place has gone mad!
Interesting! The Constable on the right next to the WPC with the white hat, seems to be wearing a West Mercia Constabulary helmet rather than a West midlands helmet.
Although it's a West Midlands film there are sections at the district police training centre. These served a number of different forces in the regions to would have young probationers from all those forces.
How I wish I could go back to those times. I never thought I'd ever hear myself saying this, but I miss the 'Local Bobby'. (Don't miss the 'clip around the ear' though 😂) The Local Bobby seemed to always be where you didn't want him to be. Normally the place where you were upto mischief 😂 I swear to God this is true. You could be messing around with your mates at the top of your street & he would suddenly appear out of nowhere. He will find out that you're being a pain in the arse & he would tell you (with a wicked, smug grin on his face) that he was going to talk to your parents. You would RUN down your road towards your house & he would WALK in the opposite direction. Now I don't know to this day how he did it, but by the time you got to your house the git was already there & 'Having Words'. But give him his due. If you showed him respect he would show respect towards you. And if you wanted someone to talk to, but you couldn't turn to your parents say, he would be there to listen & give you sound advice. You don't get that nowadays unfortunately
Actually this is a police Constable. Police officers didn’t exist until the 90s/00s (I can’t remember when exactly they changed this), and this has nothing to do with a mere name change, their entire office changed, officers work for the state and enforce statutes and acts of parliament, a constables job is to uphold the law. However if a police officer produces their warrant card upon request, which they are legally obliged to do so, they are working under the office of Police Constable, and their powers are limited to upholding the law.
This made me laugh especially when they did all the finger printing after the couple's video got stolen and knocked on all the neighbour's doors. Nowadays you'd be lucky to get a crime reference number just for the insurance.
At least in your day you were much safer ,these days it's much more dangerous on the streets. More violence ,murders, guns and animosity towards the police. You say they take anyone these days, what does that mean ?
I do actually feel bad bad for police nowadays, they want to do a job but can't, shootings and stabbings. I'm scared to keep my head up half the time nowadays.
This may sound strange for many people but....I ADORE the west midlands accents, particularly the further out into the Black Country .It just SEEMS to me SO manly, SO ENGLISH!!!. Mind you, it sounds appalling on Women!!.
Could you imagine the police investigating a burglary, this is when police not lazy egotistical the majority, I watched a similar vid earlier where the policemen said I don’t mind helping a lady because he was a civil servant, he was serving the public, current police hate the servant word as the clearly think they are above that

Policing was taken more seriously then, with even the smallest crime logged and investigated, I remember back in 1982 arresting a guy for stealing just £3 from a female, this would be laughed at now. The biggest loss is the Bobby on the beat, he interacted with the public, gathered intelligence and gained knowledge of his beat/patch. Most nowadays seem to be in a car which they never get out of, interaction with the public is lost.
Not their fault, police officers have to deal with so much more jobs now due to funding cuts to other services such as the NHS. Their report writing and paperwork is absolutely ludicrous now, one simple job will take all day to write up due to the amount of bureaucracy involved in Policing. I say all this in the third person but I am myself a Police Officer and everyday I am intensely frustrated that I can’t just go out to reported crimes and walk a beat talking to people as this is what I joined for, instead, as soon as I come in I’m tasked to some meaningless task straight off the back then back to the station, write up 100 documents and then to the next job, I never have time to walk a beat which is seriously disappointing. There is a common myth that officers nowadays are just lazy and don’t want to get out and meet the public which is entirely false (most of the time, there are some officers that join the job for the wrong reason)
@joelangley7974 thank you for your insight into current policing, people are so quick to point fingers and don't understand the ridiculous lack of staffing and bureaucracy...
This brought back some happy memories, I trained at Ryton on Dunsmore Coventry class 2/81D I was 18 and proud as punch.

Yes, those old CRTs were huge beasts but I think the valve sets disappeared long before the 80s
The tipped over waste bin really sells it. Their house is ruined.
Austin Maestro, the epitome of a fast police car in 1984!
The job has changed a bit since then. Nice reference to the Sweeney too.

Rose tinted spectacles somewhat but I take your point.

The first scene looked and sounded like something out of Hammer House of Horror.
Didn't know Tactical Pursuit and Containments (TPAC's for short) were a thing in the 1980s, saw them being carried out on Police Interceptors
Interesting! The Constable on the right next to the WPC with the white hat, seems to be wearing a West Mercia Constabulary helmet rather than a West midlands helmet.
That's a bloody impressive spot - 6:33 I don't suppose is where you are referencing?

The fact that in the mid 80’s the police were still bothered about stolen videos goes to show how far society has fallen since.
I love these police videos. All solved without a gunshot or drop of blood (okay, except for the thief's blood on the broken glass).
made in the days when the cops were the good guys........ how I miss those times

@3:53 - DF ?? The kid sat at the back looks about 30 !
Yeah - he was probably an extra they drafted in to fill the classroom(!).
This made me laugh especially when they did all the finger printing after the couple's video got stolen and knocked on all the neighbour's doors. Nowadays you'd be lucky to get a crime reference number just for the insurance.
Absolute rubbish. All residential dwelling burglaries are attended in person and by CSI.
C.I.D , forensics , house to house calls they won't even come out now if you get burgled

When coppers were coppers.Seem to take anyone nowadays.
At least in your day you were much safer ,these days it's much more dangerous on the streets. More violence ,murders, guns and animosity towards the police. You say they take anyone these days, what does that mean ?
If they take anyone why dont you join, show them what they are doing wrong?
Five foot high plump wpcs for a start! No use whatsoever for any kind of violence or intimidation! They always just have to call for backup.
Note how the chief superintendent is distinguished by the white rim round the peak of his cap.
Ha ha ! One of the coppers is called Regan !
