Custody sergeants Jon Avetoomyan and John Metcalkfe (retired) working on the front line in Gwent discuss the differences in how they deal with a suspect coming into police custody. No longer is the first contact the sergeant in a small police station with one or two cells, but in the computerised improved facilities of a modern centralised custody unit holding suspects from all over the area - with the option of an interpreter to translate from Welsh to English as well as other languages to meet the needs of present day diverse communities.
