- 2. Episode 2Staffordshire Police officers talk candidly about dealing with domestic abuse. Historically, officers have often treated domestic abuse as a private matter, but now far greater priority is given to investigating reported incidents and safeguarding potential victims. However, this change of approach has sometimes led officers to be called out to resolve petty arguments. The programme also examines the stress of being on permanent standby in the event of riots or terrorist attacks.18+CC1 h 0 minMar 24, 2020
