`24 Hours in Police Custody' shows the challenges faced by staff members at the busy Luton Police Station, bringing viewers access that was previously not widely available. More than 80 cameras follow the Bedfordshire police, from the station's holding cells to the heart of major crime investigations and interrogation rooms. The programme follows the officers as they respond to calls, arrest suspects and try to get enough evidence to charge the suspected perp. They'll have to get it all done quickly because the law only allows police to keep prisoners against their will for up to 24 hours before being charged.
