Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2015 British Police Procedural which airs on BBC One, being the first police related show to air on the network since The Bill, which also occupied the same 8pm slot.Set in Brighton and the surrounding areas, it focuses on the daily lives (on and off the job) of both uniformed officers and CID detectives in the Brighton Central station of the fictional South Sussex Police.The characters deal with a wide range of incidents typically faced by modern front line police officers, ranging from the serious to the mundane. It also acts to an extent as social commentary, highlighting problems regional police forces in the UK face in the midst of severe budget constraints.The show has been cancelled, but a petition has been created in an attempt to encourage the BBC to create another series.

Artistic License – Law: Whilst chewing out PC Draper, Chief Superintendent Vickers angrily tells him that as a police officer he has a "duty of care to the public". This is not the case in UK law, as courts have ruled that imposing a duty of care on police officers would impede them from effectivley doing their jobs.

comment
Amoral Attorney: Most of the cops at Brighton Central dislike Simon Reddington, the duty solicitor, as he often defends everyone they arrest. Ryan even views Jakes relationship with him as "sleeping with the enemy". It doesnt help that Simon himself is a bit of an arrogant jerkass.
