The real line of duty
The ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Tom Symonds has exclusive access to two new Metropolitan Police teams focused on catching criminals in uniform – and changing the culture within the force.
Line of Duty portrays a fictional police anti-corruption team. But whilst the dishonesty, deceit and deception rooted out by AC-12 might be a little far-fetched - in real life the reputation of the police is in the balance.
