In this last story of the series the Police themselves are concerned throughout, and the story shows two ways in which they serve the public: by pulling young people out of dangerous situations — and so preventing crime, and by catching the criminals and so giving the public protection and security.

There are no actors in these programmes and only the names and minor details of the stories have been changed to avoid identification.
