What happens

Street Crime UK is a reality television series focusing on law enforcement in various parts of the United Kingdom, as police go about their duties on the streets of Britain's towns and cities. The police officers featuring in episodes discussed work, responding to 999 calls, enforcing public order, raid premises allegedly being used for illegal purposes, pursuing and arresting various suspects, transporting them to the police station after they are arrested. The show was narrated by Susan Rae, who often updated the viewers as to whether the arrested were charged/tried/convicted etc. and sometimes given details of the sentences/penalties that were imposed on them for their lawbreaking, also updating on current events. Street Crime UK was originally shown on Bravo and was later repeated on Virgin 1 (which was later re-branded Channel One). Series 4 and Christmas Crime UK has also been repeated on Sky One and Pick TV. The programme also featured police clips, previously broadcast on ITV's reality police series Crimefighters. Street Crime UK was replaced by Brit Cops: Frontline Crime in 2008. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
