CANNY COPS

A documentary series following Durham police in the former mining towns on the north- east coast – where crime and drug use are high and cops and criminals are on first name terms.

Twinning privileged Police Force access with distinctive storytelling and a warm, candid tone, ‘Canny Cops’ captures the lives and personalities of those living on both sides of the law in County Durham. As one of our Canny Cops tells us: ‘it’s cops and robbers more than we’d probably like to think’.

Blunt, bracing and blackly comic
