THE DETECTIVES: FIGHTING ORGANISED CRIME

A series filmed over two years with unprecedented access to Greater Manchester Police, offering frontline insight into one police force’s battle against organised crime.

Focusing on the work of the Major Incident Team (MIT), the series depicts the growing gang violence in the  city – in the year ending September 2020, there were over 88,000 violent crimes and 47 murders. 

"It’s like the real-life 'Line of Duty'.”
