🎥 This isn’t dramatized. This is real policing in London.

No scripts. No retakes. Just frontline officers dealing with unpredictable, high-risk
situations as they unfold.

In this episode of On Response, follow PC Shakera and PC Tom as one shift spirals from
a missing person search into a tense three-hour rooftop negotiation.

⚠️ Content Warning:
This episode includes domestic abuse, mental health, and suicide-related incidents.
If you’ve been affected, contact the Samaritans for free on 116 123.

📍 Filmed in Brixton, South London
🎥 Part of the On Response series

This is what a real 999 response shift in London looks like. You’ll see the pressure, the
split-second decisions, and the human side of policing, where communication can be
just as critical as enforcement.

PC Shakera and PC Tom deal with:
➡️ A missing and vulnerable missing person spotted in Waterloo.

➡️ A family dispute forces officers to balance law enforcement with safeguarding
leading to an arrest

➡️ Officers diffuse a domestic dispute.

➡️ A domestic abuse where the suspect climbs onto a rooftop, triggering a high-
stakes standoff.

Good on them for arresting that woman's son. He needs a short sharp shock that this kind of behaviour is not tolerated in our society. It's better to sort him out now than it is to allow him to potentially go on to harm someone or damage someone else's property. This isn't just tackling crime, this is how crime is prevented. If someone, my family member or not, smashed up my home, this is exactly what they could expect. Mental health is not an excuse either. I have Autism and I have struggled with my mental health all my life, but I don't go around doing things like this. I have zero criminal record, never been in trouble with the police. I prefer to live on the right side of the law and the right side of others. I'd much rather help someone than do something like this. This young lad has got to learn to deal with his emotions and channel that anger of his into something creative or constructive.

Shakera is very good at this, both being a police officer and talking to the camera.

Excellent work guys! Thank you for keeping us safe. Shakira is a credit to the uniform - these officers see the very worst of humanity and then go home to their families at the end of the shift. Respect.

These type of videos that show off what the police have to deal with and how they do this stuff it’s really cool and I think there should be more of them

I did the ride along in west London last month. It was an amazing experience. It was fascinating what “we” had to deal with. I absolutely loved it and would do it again if I could ! You can apply on the met website
