A new 大象传媒 1 five part series about the Met Police began this week. Filmed over the course of a year 'The Met: Policing London' follows the police as they go about their work. But do series' like this and others such as '24 Hours in Police Custody' and 'The Detectives' shine a credible and authentic light on the reality of the police at work, or are they just good PR for the police? Steve is joined by Aysha Rafaele, executive producer of 'The Met: Policing London', and Roger Graef who has made over fifty films about the police and the criminal justice system. Also joining him are Stafford Scott, a community activist based in Tottenham, and Andy Trotter, former Chief Constable who served as ACPOs lead on the media.
