Police Officer James

And you go, right, okay, go to the location, have a look at the location, see if you might need...

covert unit to go and have a little look at it now see if they can find anything ask for local units people local teams like myself who go there on the regular they'll go do you know anything about them you go yes or no you develop it into that and then it might be

Do you just track a parcel?

Yeah, and it's really like building something really small for a tiny bit of intel into that.

Yeah, this is what I'm going on at the moment.

Yeah, it's been a year and a half we're doing this, this as a team.

We've been going for it.

We've done a number of warrants already and we're now looking for...

like a really big one like a very big we've got like a we're looking at a lot a lot of people a lot of locations a lot of money drugs and we're looking at it going bang we're going there could be all sorts going on in the situations we need to develop it and it's going down there so hopefully fingers crossed um when it's all finished and done i'll send you guys an email i'll let you know oh my god yeah

Yeah, and then once it's gone past that stage and it's actually been developed and it's happened, I'll be able to tell you what we've done and that sort of stuff.

So far, everything on my team has sort of been linked and relevant to this crime group that we're living into.

And that's where it started, yeah.

And, yeah, literally, it leaves you a couple of lads hanging outside the door and asking someone, can we have a little look at pictures, like little CCTV outside the door?

there please and then they turned around and went yep here it is looked at it went yeah we know who they are we know what they're involved in their linked stuff we've done in the past and then yeah that was it and then it's and it's snowballed developed for about a year and a half here continuously so how do you know when you're getting closer to the final yeah have you got enough info or whatever uh yeah so it'd be like

actual evidence of offenses being carried out.

We might look at, you know, parcels turning up, cars turning up.

And then we've, we've, we're sort of, cause it's been about a year and a half, but we're probably about the halfway stage.

that's surely going to be there'll be officers up and down the country who are doing this constantly constant constant so you'll see a cargo pass and people think that officer's doing that thing but you don't know they might be just going to a location just to have a look at something that they had a hunch and then that hunch will develop into a massive long job and then but while we're doing that i'll still be getting emails saying someone's knocked down my fence

And then I've got to deal with that.

So I'll deal with the operation side of it and then I'll go and someone's gone, yeah, they've mowed my lawn and they've broken my fence.
