Police Interceptors Coming To Five

Police Interceptors is a series that profiles a radical new type of police unit. Aimed at tackling the most difficult-to-catch criminals in Britain, the Interceptors hit big-time crooks hard every day.

Armed with outrageously fast cars and the very latest kit, the Police Interceptors are the new kids on the block in the fight against crime – and they are getting results fast. The Government is spending serious money on cutting-edge technology and hand-picked, highly trained officers. Using Essex as a test bed, they have created the hardest-hitting police unit in the country.

Key to the unit’s success is a powerful computer system which links every camera in the county. Sited in known crime hot-spots, as well as on every major road in Essex, the Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology enables target cars to be tracked across the area and their position instantly fed to the Interceptors.

The teams are also kitted out with the latest and fastest police cars in Britain, boasting a host of technology including global positioning and tracking devices linked to the super-computer back at HQ. The Interceptors are also armed with a fully kitted-out helicopter, which features a long range telephoto lens capable of reading a number plate from seven miles, day or night.

With a daily diet of stolen cars, drug dealers and high-speed pursuits, the Police Interceptors are cracking down on Essex crime –with one operation netting five of the county’s ten most-wanted villains – and the criminals rarely know what has hit them.

Police Interceptors kicks off on Five on Friday May 9th.

    Whats the name of that tune played in the advert for this ??

  2. Nils says:

    Sounds like a propaganda campaign for Britain’s all-present video surveillance ;)

  3. Jack Hart says:

    Does anyone know who the narrator is in Police Interceptors is? It is really bugging me.

  4. Lee says:

    i was disgusted at the way one of the police officers went on during his handling of confenscating a mans car. it looked as if he was enjoying it and haveing a laught at the mans expence and blatently telling a person to shut up the way he did was just no suiting of somone who has a law degree. he should get a degree in manners.

  5. eugene viljeon says:

    I would also like to know who the narrator for this programme is because apart from the fake cockney accent he also seems to relish in the misfortunes of the victims.He even did a Homer ‘Doh’the other day which did my head in.Some people will sell out and do anything for money its a shame he has turned me off the programme.

  6. KEITH MEADOWS says:

    Subtitles to the 6th June show kept refering to MIRANDA RIGHTS when a suspect was cautioned. THIS IS AMERICAN LAW and is not used in the UK. The writer has watched to many US Cop shows.

  7. LUke Stivala says:

    The show is awesome ! if you dont like it then just dont watch it . You have to be a police officer to know what these people go through day in day out.

  8. susan martin says:

    fantastic piece of kit is that where our tax money goes

  9. Keith says:

    The programme is an insight to policing….if you do not like it dont watch it,
    What people dont seem to realise is that the amount of unisured drivers etc etc ruin peoples lives, as it has been said before to really understand you have to be a police officer to appreciate it, the ANPR team are the elite in Essex Police, the drivers are the best of the best, and i would also take great pride in seizing cars that are being driven on motorweays and roads with NO insurance, Licence etc where the rest of us pay good money to be on.
    I can say i have done my bit by keeping a risk off of the road, anyone with children would agree wouldnt they?
    If an uninsured driver hit you and the worse was to happen you WOULD wish that that car had never been allowed on our roads wouldnt you?
    This is what ANPR officers do best and i believe the show is to show the value and quality of these officers.
    I know first hand as i have worked alongside them that they do a fantastic job.
    Money well spent i notice people dont moan about footballers wages, thats where our money goes!!!!
    I’d sooner be putting my money towards keeping idiots off the road than filling a footballers wallet!

  10. Mo Southend says:

    I totally agree with what Keith said, top programme, top totty!

  11. Tracy says:

    Love the program, especially one of the sexy officers.(the one with the glasses) They do a good job keeping all the dumb ass’s off the road. Why should i, and many other law abiding drivers pay out hundreds of pounds in tax and insurance every year, while other morons are driving around in old wrecks, with no insurance and some no licence getting away with it. As for Lee (above) I take it he’s not a big fan of police in general..why?..Are you one of the dumb ass’s then?…if you don’t like it..don’t watch it!..and Lee..buy a dictionary love.

  12. Loz says:

    For anyone who was asking about the narrator of the series…it is Christopher Fox a.k.a DS Max Carter from ITV1’s The Bill.

  13. Rob says:

    BEST OF THE BEST.

  14. sierra7 says:

    One of the reasons I watch Police Interceptors is because I’m a huge The Bill fan, especially Christopher Fox! Having said that, I’d watch the show anyway, it’s fantastic! So is Road Wars. What is it about men in uniform?

  15. david mott says:

    hi topolice officers that is waste our time to learn from you made people getting into trouble from u that mean all crimials pepole can learn easy from you that really stupid way should be removed really that bloodly stupid ways

    thanks bye

  16. Son says:

    rofl them cars wouldnt keep up with my wheels anyway ;p

  17. dancincrow says:

    This is an awesome show. I am disgusted at the lack of respect for the UK Police, especially by the Youth of today. I live in the US & there’s no way that any of these foul mouth Yobo’s would get away with it out there. It also amazes me how the justice system (or rather, the lack of it) deals with most of the arrests that I have seen on this show. The sentences give NO deterent to the offenders at all, no wonder there is so much crime in such a small country.
    These Officers are the cream of the crop in their filed & their Police Equipment knocks spots off the US stuff from what I can tell.
    Keep up the great work.

  18. Jack Norris says:

    This programme is totally awesome. It is a real insight for me especially, as I live round the corner from their headquarters and regularly see my neighborhood on this programme…goes to show what happens in a normal residential area when you hear those sirens when you’re laying in bed! 5 stars. If it was a film it would be.

  19. Loz (12) says:

    I love the show i think it’s a great insight into the world of policing. I love the narrator Christopher Fox cos he’s informal and i luv the bill.

  20. Steveollie says:

    Brilliant show. Love it when the criminal scums cars are confiscated. These cars should be sold and the money ploughed back into the police. Driving on UK roads is a privilege NOT a right!

  21. matthew says:

    i love the look of police inteceptors but the people behind the wheel do the most important job. i want to be a police officer so keep up the good work

  22. Nathan says:

    I wach police Inticeptors all the time (when it’s on) so could i request more of the T.V series Police inticeptors to be on beacase i get very bored around the house and i need to wach something interesting, Nathan

  23. Claire says:

    who sings the song on the advert for this show? it gets show a lot on fiver, but i cant find out who does the song!! its nipping my head!

  24. Naomi says:

    In one episode of Police interceptors, two of them are drinking Milkshakes that have helped them lose lots of weight. Does anyone know what the milkshakes were, and where to get them from?

  25. Andrea says:

    Just what I wanted to know Naomi. One of the packets said “Total Balance”. Was impressed with its results. Would love to find out more info.

  26. Andrea says:

    I think I have found it!http://www.lighterlife.com/how_does_lighterlife_work/foodpacks.aspx

  27. Diana says:

    I can’t believe people can be so utterly stupid they deserve what is handed out – it’s the best thing on tv.

  28. Scott says:

    Police Interceptors is a great programme. If I come back in another life – ill want to be a Traffic Cop.
    I must say the guys are down to earth, and seem fair.
    If your up to no good – then you will have a problem with these guys.

    great show, when will the dvds be released???

    Scott in Dundee

  29. Dave says:

    Probably Slim Fast shakes

  30. George Pudney says:

    I enjoy watching the interceptor team catch car thieves and tax & insurance dodgers, I should like to invite the team to carry out a lockdown in the Thorpe bay area of southend, as every evening we get so called joy riders doing a circuit along the seafront down thorpe hall avenue along station road then down maplin road north and back along the seafront.

    I feel sure that Many of these cars are not insured and are driving so dangeriously at high speeds that we the residents are becoming afraid to walk about after dark.

    Please come and see how many bad guys you assest.

    George Pudney

  31. D Lovatt says:

    completely ruined by the vacuous female presenter – how about the Interceptors ‘catching’ her & banging her up for good – Pretty PLEASE. get back to the original great format – she is wasting Police time & quality of an hitherto excellent programme has dropped by 50%

  32. Scott says:

    I think the female presenter does great, shes gorgeous and as well as the beautiful subies and evos adds some eye candy to it ha

    on the latest episode on five – the guys had her over the bonnet of the Lamborghini once they tracked her, bet there was an offscreen fight to do it haha

    yee show is great, it actually makes you realise what a tough job it could be at times.

  33. Babs says:

    Totally agree with D Lovatt. The programme is excellent apart from the female presenter. Her input is unneccesary, with inane comments.
    After all, why don’t they show Christopher Fox? Who is far superior.

  34. jack says:

    the programme is brilliant i watch it all the time if i miss it i watch it on a nother channel some of the idiotic performance of the people who they are chasing is stupid dangouruse but the courage of the intrceptor team is brilliant
    well done

  35. nougat says:

    what episode is it where the crane crushes the cars that havent got road tax?
