As a police officer in the 50's I was interested but disappointed by this new series. Senior police officers do not walk about with their hand in their pockets being churlish to other police officers. Remember most were ex military in the 50's. Those who wore helmets did not wear the chin strap under their chins but resting on them. Whistle chains were always worn, by men, in the top left hand pocket, so they could undo their jackets without undoing their chains. Guns were not that readily available for any PC. Corrupt sergeants existed but not as openly as suggested. The TV series "SCOTT & BAILEY" have most of these things down pat, and the interviewing is well acted. This series is streets ahead of "WPC 56". By the way "PRIME SUSPECT" was also an excellent series. Factual? I don't know, but good entertainment.
