Emergency services in South Yorkshire face a difficult night, beginning with an aggressive drunk in Doncaster town centre who is assaulting a police officer. In Sheffield, PCs Bernice Gott and Rachel Brightmore are monitoring pub and club-goers from a public order van. But as the night wears on, the focus shifts from crimes committed on a whim to premeditated acts.

Cases involving alcohol-related call-outs involving excessive drinking by women. Officers are alerted by a taxi driver to someone who has been drunk and asleep in a gutter, while PCs Brad Phillips and Mike Doggett attend the scene of a mid-evening car crash. Elsewhere, a disturbance in a pub spills out onto the streets, resulting in an arrest for assault and an entire family of young children being forced to go into custody by their mother.

Situations in Northamptonshire when people are taken into police custody. The rising number of first-time offenders in custody often leaving resources are stretched to breaking point, given that there are only 62 custody cells to cater for a population of 700,000 people. A 60-year-old drunk driver is brought in for her first offence, and detention officer Perry Chaplin has to deal with a detainee who has stripped naked.
